RAC 11gR2 node removal exact steps
Hi all,
env: RAC 11.2.0.3 + recent PSU on RHEL 5.10
Oracle® Clusterware Administration and Deployment Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) states the following:
================================
Deleting a Cluster Node on Linux and UNIX Systems (goo.gl/o6VY72):
To delete a node from a cluster:
[...]
3.
Note:
This step is required only if you are using Oracle Clusterware 11g release 2 (11.2.0.1) or 11g release 2 (11.2.0.2).
Disable the Oracle Clusterware applications and daemons running on the node.
Run the rootcrs.pl script as root from the Grid_home/crs/install directory on the node to be deleted,
as follows:
# ./rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force
================================
Does anyone know if step 3 (rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force) is required only for 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2
