/u01/app deleted RAC node2
I need urgent assistance to bring back node2 running on Oracle 11gr2 Linux 5.6.
A DBA deleted /u01/app/* by mistake while he was clearing out space on file system.
This is 3 node RAC cluster on grid infrastructure and we have 14 instances running on that sever so /u01/app has everything which belongs to grid, ASM and oracle binaries.
We don’t have a backup of /u01 so that can't be done.
I think I will have to delete node2 from cluster and then add this node back using
addNode.sh to join this with cluster and copy /u01/app/* from node1 to node2 to
fix this issue quickly or maybe first copy everything from node1 to node2 and
change instance name everywhere from instance_name1 to instance_name2, but this
is my theory not sure if this will work or not and last option is redo all the
software installation?
