Oracle clustwerware 10GR2 - SLES 9

Absolutely. The only case, when you can do the better
things, is if you have
an instance in ASM already. Else you wil need to migrate it
into the
clustered file system, ASM or raw device anyway, so proposed
method works
better and is easy to implement.

Another (possible) choice is to set up RAC as a standby
database and then
switchover so it became primary, then reinstall old primary
as a second
node.

Hi,

  You don't need to do so. Let say you have two nodes A (the
current
database host) and B (a new node).
  If you plan to go RAC, you can keep your database in the
current node A.
  You make the installations and configuration on the
remaining node B. You
can have a RAC database running with just one instance on
one node.
  When Cluster ware, Oracle RAC is installed and ready to
use, you move your
database to B as a RAC database. Your system is then
available to your users
and you can now add the node A to your cluster, install
Oracle RAC, and
start an instance of your database on it.

  I know it is probably not recommended -
But is it possible to install Oracle clusterware ( + patch
10.2.0.2 )
while an instance is running on 1 node ?

Everything will be setup in advance :
Interconnect + Shared storage + host/accounts equivalencies
... + Full
backup ..

The goal is to try to decrease a system downtime when going
to RAC ..
( And not having to rebuild a live instance/OS too .. )

Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas,

D>
