What is the best method to use Oracle 11gR2 RAC as Active/Passive

edited Jul 24, 2019 3:15AM in Database - RAC/Scalability (MOSC) 14 commentsAnswered ✓

I have 2 node 11gR2 RAC configured.

My application needs to connect to only 1 node as it is not supported with 2 node RAC.

I am planning to use the second node as passive node.

I have configured my TNS as below:

The TNS is configured to connect to Node1-VIP.

ORCL =

  (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bl870_3-VIP)(PORT = 1521))

    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVER = DEDICATED)

      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)

    )

  )

I am able to connect to the database using sqlplus without any issue. The connection are connected to Node 1.

I tried to do failover test by shutting down Node1.

After shutdown, VIP is failovered to node 2.
