12cR1 RAC Posts -- 3 : Convert PolicyManaged DB back to AdminManaged

In the previous post on 12cR1 RAC, I had converted my AdminManaged Database to PolicyManaged.

Here, I convert it back to AdminManaged.

First, I verify that the database is shutdown (note that I have only 1 node of the cluster currently up and running, I don't need both nodes and instances up).

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d RAC
Instance RAC_1 is running on node collabn1
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl stop database -d RAC
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ ps -fuoracle |grep smon
oracle    3422     1  0 09:49 ?        00:00:00 asm_smon_+ASM1
oracle    4882     1  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 mdb_smon_-MGMTDB
oracle   16889  9821  0 10:08 pts/0    00:00:00 grep smon
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$

Next, I remove the database from the Cluster Registry.

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl config database -d RAC
Database unique name: RAC
Database name:
Oracle home: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile:

OSDBA group: dba

Database instances:
Configured nodes:

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl remove database -d RAC
Remove the database RAC? (y/[n]) y
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl config database -d RAC
PRCD-1120 : The resource for database RAC could not be found.
PRCR-1001 : Resource ora.rac.db does not exist
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$

I then remove the defined Server Pool that I used for this database.

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl config srvpool
Server pool name: Free
Importance: 0, Min: 0, Max: -1
Category:
Candidate server names:
Server pool name: Generic
Importance: 0, Min: 0, Max: -1

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl remove srvpool -serverpool MyPool
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl config srvpool

Category:
Candidate server names:
Server pool name: Generic
Importance: 0, Min: 0, Max: -1

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$

I then add the database back into the Cluster Registry.

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl add database -d RAC \
> -oraclehome /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1 \
> -pwfile +DATA/RAC/PASSWORD/pwdrac.277.931824933
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl config database -d RAC
Database unique name: RAC
Database name:
Oracle home: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile:

OSOPER group:

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$

I start the second node of the cluster before I configure the instances (Note : I have the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs pfiles created in advance).

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl add instance -d RAC -i RAC1 -n collabn1
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl add instance -d RAC -i RAC2 -n collabn2
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl config database -d RAC
Database unique name: RAC

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$

I am now ready to start the database (instances).

[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl start database -d RAC
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d RAC
Instance RAC1 is running on node collabn1
Instance RAC2 is running on node collabn2
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ ps -fuoracle |grep smon

Thus, I converted my PolicyManaged database to AdministratorManaged.
