Storage Foundation for Oracle® RAC 7.4.1 Configuration and Upgrade Guide - Solaris

Product(s): InfoScale & Storage Foundation (7.4.1)

Platform: Solaris

After adding the new node

If you added the new node to the cluster manually, before you starting VCS you must create the file cssd-pretend-offline on the new node and make the cssd resource non-critical. Failing this, the cssd resource lapses into an UNKNOWN state until Oracle Clusterware is installed on the new node, thus preventing the cvm group from coming online.

If you used the product installer to add the new node to the cluster, you will not need to perform this step.

Note:

The cssd resource will remain in FAULTED/OFFLINE state till Oracle Clusterware is installed on the new node.

Start VCS on the new node.

To start VCS on the new node

If you installed the new node manually:
- On one of the nodes in the existing cluster, configure the cssd resource as a non-critical resource:
```
# haconf -makerw
# hares -modify cssd Critical 0
# haconf -dump -makero
```
- Create the file cssd-pretend-offline on the new node:
```
# touch /var/VRTSvcs/lock/cssd-pretend-offline
```
Start VCS on the new node:
```
# hastart
```
VCS brings the CVM group online.
Verify that the CVM group is online:
Note:
The CVM group reports Partial state till Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure is installed on the new node.
```
# hagrp -state
```
