Examples

Delete an Oracle RAC Instance

qoperation execute -af DeleteRACInstance.xml –cs <CommServeName> -entity/appName 'Oracle RAC' –entity/clientName 'RacPseudoclient' –entity/instanceName 'racdb'

Delete All Oracle RAC Instances for a Pseudo-Client

When you want to delete all instances for an Oracle RAC pseudo-client, set the deleteAllInstances element to true and do not use the instanceName parameter.

qoperation execute -af DeleteRACInstance.xml –cs <CommServeName> -entity/appName 'Oracle RAC' –entity/clientName 'RacPseudoclient' –deleteAllInstances true

You can add multiple instances to an Oracle RAC multi instance pseudo client, or add an additional instance by using the command line interface.

Create a Oracle RAC instance and include all instances that are part of the configuration.
To add an additional instance, use the UpdateRACInstance.xml template and specify the instance to add in the instanceOracleSID parameter.

Examples

Oracle RAC pseudo client RAC_multiInstance contains two instanced databaseX and databaseY.

qoperation execute -af CreateRACInstance.xml -instance/appName 'Oracle RAC' -instance/clientName 'Rac_MultiInstance' -instance/instanceName 'sales' -ctrlFileAutoBackupType CONFIGURED -disableRMAN true -networkAgents 2 -softwareCompression OFF -dataBackupStoragePolicy/storagePolicyName 'DEDUP_SP' -logBackupStoragePolicy/storagePolicyName 'NONDEDUP_SP' -enableDeduplication true -generateSignature ON_CLIENT -racDBOperationType ADD -instancePhysicalClient/clientName 'node1' -instanceOracleSID databaseY1 -userAccount/userName 'oracle' -oracleHome '/u01/app/oracle/oracleHome/db_1' -racDBInstance/connectString/userName 'sys' -racDBInstance/connectString/password 'syspassword' -racDBInstance/connectString/serviceName 'databaseY1' -useCatalogConnect false

Add another instance, databaseZ, to the pseudo client.
