Delete a Node from Oracle RAC 19c
In this Blog, we will see how to delete a node from multi node grid infrastructure setup.
Current GRID NODES : Node 1, Node 2, Node 3
Node tobe deleted : node3.
Grid Version : 19c.
STEPS OVERVIEW:
1. Precheck.
2.Delete Oracle Instance from node3 using DBCA.
3.Deinstall the Oracle Database home from node3.
4.Deinstall Grid Infrastructure home from node3.
5.Delete clusterware config.
6.Post Check.
- Precheck :
[oracle@node1 ~] $ olsnodes -s -tCheck the Cluster resources.
[oracle@node1 ~] $ crsctl stat res -t
2. Delete oracle instance from node 3 using dbca.
If any database instance is running on the node, then this need to be removed before deinstalling grid.
[oracle@node1 ~] $ crsctl status resource -w "TYPE = ora.database.type" -tRun dbca from node1:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin ./dbca
Instance successfully deleted. Now proceed with deinstalling the oracle db home.
3. Deinstall the Oracle database home from node3.Specify the “-local” flag as not to remove more than just the local node’s software.
[node3]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/deinstall -localFew error like failed to delete directory got reported. We can delete those directories manually.
[oracle@node3]$ rm -rf /oracle/app/oracle
4. Deinstall grid infrastructure home from node3.
[oracle@node2 ~]$cd $GRID_HOME [oracle@node2 ~]$./gridSetup.sh
RUN ON NODE3:
[root@node3 ~]# /crsapp/app/oracle/product/19c/crs/install/rootdeinstall.sh
5.  Delete clusterware config.(Run on node 2)
— as root user run below command from node 1
[root@node2 ~]# /crsapp/app/oracle/product/19c/bin/crsctl delete node -n DBHOST4 CRS-4661: Node DBHOST4 successfully deleted.Delete remaining directories: Deinstall script might fail to delete few file/directories. So we can delete them manually.
rm -rf /crsapp/app/oracle/product/19c rm -rf /crsapp/app/oracle_base
6. Postcheck
Run cluvfy postcheck script
[oracle@node2 ~]$ cluvfy stage -post nodedel -n DBHOST4 -verboseCheck updated cluster resource:
[oracle@node2s ~]$ crsctl stat res -t
