2. If the replacement node is the node on which you originally installed the
OSDs, do the following on all nodes:
a. Shut down the Oracle instance.
b. Stop all Oracle services.
c. Uninstall the OSDs from each node by running uninstallOSD,
located in the Utilities directory of the installation CD.
d. Restart all nodes to complete the deinstallation process.
3. Use the OUI to reinstall the OSDs on each cluster node, including the
original nodes and the replacement node.
4. Restart each cluster node to complete the OSD installation process.
5. Verify that Object Link Manager has been installed on the replacement
node. See “Installing Object Link Manager” in Chapter 5, “Installation
and Configuration.”
6. Install Oracle8i Server with the Oracle8i Parallel Server Option on the
replacement node.
7. Restart the replacement node which, upon restart, is now fully integrated
into the cluster.
8. At this point, all further operations are specific to Oracle configuration.
Refer to the Oracle setup and configuration documentation for
information on configuring Oracle software.
Adding a Cluster Node
Before adding a node, verify that the new configuration is supported by the
PDC/O1000. To determine if your new server is supported, see the
Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 Certification Matrix
for Windows 2000 at
www.compaq.com/solutions/enterprise/ha-pdc.html
IMPORTANT: With some possible exceptions, the servers in the cluster must be set up
identically. For example, this means using one model server for all nodes. The cluster
components common to all nodes in the cluster must be identical, for example, the
cluster interconnect adapters, amount of memory, cache, and number of CPUs must be
the same in each cluster node.
During the life of the PDC/O1000, you might need to add a new node to the
cluster. A desire to increase performance or throughput can drive this decision.
Adding another node also can increase overall availability of the system.
