RAC Commands : 2 -- Updating Configuration for Services

In 11gR2

NOTE : This is in a Policy Managed configuration

Adding a database service

[root@node1 ~]# su - oracle
-sh-3.2$ srvctl add service -d RACDB -s NEW_SVC -g RACSP -c SINGLETON
-sh-3.2$ srvctl config service -d RACDB -s NEW_SVC
Service name: NEW_SVC
Service is enabled
Server pool: RACSP
Cardinality: SINGLETON
Disconnect: false
Service role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
DTP transaction: false
AQ HA notifications: false
Failover type: NONE
Failover method: NONE
TAF failover retries: 0
TAF failover delay: 0
Connection Load Balancing Goal: LONG
Runtime Load Balancing Goal: NONE
TAF policy specification: NONE
Edition: 
Service is enabled on nodes: 
Service is disabled on nodes: 
-sh-3.2$ 
-sh-3.2$ srvctl start service -d RACDB -s NEW_SVC
-sh-3.2$ 

Since this is Policy Managed database in the RACSP Server Pool, I added a service with the appropriate parameters. The SINGLETON cardinality means that it will run on only one instance.  (See the previous post for the service MY_RAC_SVC with the cardinliaty UNIFORM).

Let's verify the alert.log entry.

-sh-3.2$ cd /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/racdb/RACDB_1
-sh-3.2$ cd trace
-sh-3.2$ tail alert_RACDB_1.log
Begin automatic SQL Tuning Advisor run for special tuning task  "SYS_AUTO_SQL_TUNING_TASK"

db_recovery_file_dest_size of 4000 MB is 22.25% used. This is a
user-specified limit on the amount of space that will be used by this
database for recovery-related files, and does not reflect the amount of
space available in the underlying filesystem or ASM diskgroup.
Tue Jul 15 22:11:10 2014
ALTER SYSTEM SET service_names='MY_RAC_SVC','NEW_SVC' SCOPE=MEMORY SID='RACDB_1';
-sh-3.2$ 

The SCOPE specification of the ALTER SYSTEM limits the service to only this instance. (Note : MY_RAC_SVC had already been added to RACDB_2 earlier).


Removing a database service

Now, let's remove a database service

-sh-3.2$ srvctl config service -d RACDB -s MY_RAC_SVC
Service name: MY_RAC_SVC
Service is enabled
Server pool: RACSP
Cardinality: UNIFORM
Disconnect: false
Service role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
DTP transaction: false
AQ HA notifications: false
Failover type: NONE
Failover method: NONE
TAF failover retries: 0
TAF failover delay: 0
Connection Load Balancing Goal: LONG
Runtime Load Balancing Goal: NONE
TAF policy specification: NONE
Edition: 
Service is enabled on nodes: 
Service is disabled on nodes: 
-sh-3.2$ srvctl remove service -d RACDB -s MY_RAC_SVC
PRCR-1025 : Resource ora.racdb.my_rac_svc.svc is still running

I need to first stop the service.

-sh-3.2$ srvctl stop service -d RACDB -s MY_RAC_SVC
-sh-3.2$ 
-sh-3.2$ srvctl config service -d RACDB -s MY_RAC_SVC
Service name: MY_RAC_SVC
Service is enabled
Server pool: RACSP
Cardinality: UNIFORM
Disconnect: false
Service role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
DTP transaction: false
AQ HA notifications: false
Failover type: NONE
Failover method: NONE
TAF failover retries: 0
TAF failover delay: 0
Connection Load Balancing Goal: LONG
Runtime Load Balancing Goal: NONE
TAF policy specification: NONE
Edition: 
Service is enabled on nodes: 
Service is disabled on nodes: 
-sh-3.2$ tail alert_RACDB_1.log
End automatic SQL Tuning Advisor run for special tuning task  "SYS_AUTO_SQL_TUNING_TASK"
Tue Jul 15 22:06:45 2014
db_recovery_file_dest_size of 4000 MB is 22.25% used. This is a
user-specified limit on the amount of space that will be used by this
database for recovery-related files, and does not reflect the amount of
space available in the underlying filesystem or ASM diskgroup.
Tue Jul 15 22:11:10 2014
ALTER SYSTEM SET service_names='MY_RAC_SVC','NEW_SVC' SCOPE=MEMORY SID='RACDB_1';
Tue Jul 15 22:17:48 2014
ALTER SYSTEM SET service_names='NEW_SVC' SCOPE=MEMORY SID='RACDB_1';
-sh-3.2$ 

I can now remove the service.

-sh-3.2$ srvctl remove service -d RACDB -s MY_RAC_SVC
-sh-3.2$ srvctl config service -d RACDB
Service name: NEW_SVC
Service is enabled
Server pool: RACSP
Cardinality: SINGLETON
Disconnect: false
Service role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
DTP transaction: false
AQ HA notifications: false
Failover type: NONE
Failover method: NONE
TAF failover retries: 0
TAF failover delay: 0
Connection Load Balancing Goal: LONG
Runtime Load Balancing Goal: NONE
TAF policy specification: NONE
Edition: 
Service is enabled on nodes: 
Service is disabled on nodes: 
-sh-3.2$ 

Now, only the new service is listed.

Modifying the cardinality of a service

-sh-3.2$ srvctl modify service -d RACDB -s NEW_SVC -c UNIFORM
-sh-3.2$ srvctl config service -d RACDB -s NEW_SVC
Service name: NEW_SVC
Service is enabled
Server pool: RACSP
Cardinality: UNIFORM
Disconnect: false
Service role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
DTP transaction: false
AQ HA notifications: false
Failover type: NONE
Failover method: NONE
TAF failover retries: 0
TAF failover delay: 0
Connection Load Balancing Goal: LONG
Runtime Load Balancing Goal: NONE
TAF policy specification: NONE
Edition: 
Service is enabled on nodes: 
Service is disabled on nodes: 
-sh-3.2$ 
-sh-3.2$ srvctl start service -d RACDB -s NEW_SVC

The service has been modified from SINGLETON (single instance) to UNIFORM (all instances).
Verifying this on node 2.

-sh-3.2$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/racdb/RACDB_2/trace
-sh-3.2$ tail -2 alert_RACDB_2.log
Tue Jul 15 22:27:36 2014
ALTER SYSTEM SET service_names='NEW_SVC' SCOPE=MEMORY SID='RACDB_2';
-sh-3.2$ 

The service has been enabled on RACDB_2 as well now.
