Oracle HAS setup after Hostname and IP change

On my laptop, I have my virtual machines for oracle ASM and oracle RAC. I cloned one of the ASM single instance virtual machine and changed its hostname and IP address to a new one. After I made the change the database and the asm instance did not start. I learned that I had to reconfigure the Oracle High Availability Services. It is true even if you have a stand alone installation. lets see how it works…

How to Reconfigure Oracle Restart [ID 986740.1]

BEFORE the change of hostname and IP


[oracle@rhel5 ~]$ srvctl config asm
ASM home: /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
ASM listener: LISTENER
Spfile: /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/dbs/spfile+ASM.ora
ASM diskgroup discovery string:
[oracle@rhel5 ~]$ srvctl config listener
Name: LISTENER
Home: /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
End points: TCP:1521
[oracle@rhel5 ~]$ srvctl config database
TEST11G
[oracle@rhel5 ~]$ srvctl config database -d TEST11G
Database unique name: TEST11G
Database name: TEST11G
Oracle home: /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile: +DATA/TEST11G/spfileTEST11G.ora
Domain:
Start options: open
Stop options: immediate
Database role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
Database instance: TEST11G
Disk Groups: DATA,FRA

MAKE  the change of hostname and IP

You can chenge the IP and the hostname for a server using the command gui system-config-network. Also change the /etc/hosts file for the new IP and hostname.


old IP : 192.168.254.128 ----------new IP : 192.168.254.129
old hostname : rhel5       ----------new hostname : stndby

After we reboot the server, we see that HAS features are not functioning properly. High availabilty services has to be reconfigured.


[oracle@stndby ~]$ crsctl check has
CRS-4639: Could not contact Oracle High Availability Services
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl start asm

Successfully configured Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server

Now lets check the configuration. As you can see, has has been enabled but the resources are not started, ASM and database are not registered as a resource.

[oracle@stndby ~]$ . .grid_env
[oracle@stndby ~]$ crsctl config has
CRS-4622: Oracle High Availability Services autostart is enabled.
[oracle@stndby ~]$ crs_stat
NAME=ora.cssd
TYPE=ora.cssd.type
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

NAME=ora.diskmon
TYPE=ora.diskmon.type
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

NAME=ora.evmd
TYPE=ora.evm.type
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on stndby

NAME=ora.ons
TYPE=ora.ons.type
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

Register and start the resources

[oracle@stndby ~]$ crsctl start resource "ora.cssd"
CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.cssd' on 'stndby'
CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.diskmon' on 'stndby'
CRS-2676: Start of 'ora.diskmon' on 'stndby' succeeded
CRS-2676: Start of 'ora.cssd' on 'stndby' succeeded
[oracle@stndby ~]$ crs_stat
NAME=ora.cssd
TYPE=ora.cssd.type
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on stndby

NAME=ora.diskmon
TYPE=ora.diskmon.type
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

NAME=ora.evmd
TYPE=ora.evm.type
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on stndby

NAME=ora.ons
TYPE=ora.ons.type
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

lets add the listener as a resource but before we do that we need to change the listening IP of the listener.

before :

[oracle@stndby ~]$ cat /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/network/admin/listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rhel5)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
after

[oracle@stndby ~]$ cat /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/network/admin/listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = stndby)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

now we can add the listener as a resource and after that we can start it

[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl add listener -l LISTENER
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl start listener
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is running on node(s): stndby
[oracle@stndby ~]$ crs_stat ora.LISTENER.lsnr
NAME=ora.LISTENER.lsnr
TYPE=ora.listener.type
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on stndby

now we can add the asm we do not need to create spfile for asm. we can use the one before.


[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl add asm -l LISTENER -p "/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/dbs/spfile+ASM.ora"
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl start asm
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl status asm
ASM is running on stndby
Finally we can add or database TEST11G

[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl add database -d TEST11G -o /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 -p +DATA/TEST11G/spfileTEST11G.ora -r PRIMARY -s open -t immediate -a "DATA,FRA"
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl start database -d TEST11G
[oracle@stndby ~]$ srvctl status database -d TEST11G
Database is running.

After the addition of all resources

[oracle@stndby ~]$ crs_stat

STATE=ONLINE on stndby
