RAC: CHANGE IP OF CLUSTER INTERCONNECT


17.04.2015
by Kamil Stawiarski

In this article I will show how to change IP address of cluster interconnect.

First we have to define new address of the cluster interconnect before we change network settings.

[root@lodzio ~]# oifcfg setif -global eth1/10.1.0.0:cluster_interconnect

And now stop all cluster resources on both nodes

[root@lodzio ~]# crsctl stop res -all

(...)

[root@lodzio ~]# crsctl stop res -all -init

(...)

[root@lodzio ~]# ssh miodzio 
root@miodzio's password: 
Last login: Fri Apr 17 10:58:04 2015 from 192.168.56.1
[root@miodzio ~]# . oraenv 
ORACLE_SID = [root] ? +ASM2
The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/oracle
[root@miodzio ~]# crsctl stop res -all -init

Now we can change cluster interconnect ips

[root@lodzio ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
[root@lodzio ~]# ifdown eth1
[root@lodzio ~]# ifup eth1
[root@lodzio ~]# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:7A:3D:9B  
          inet addr:10.1.0.1  Bcast:10.1.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe7a:3d9b/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:210124 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:152730046 (145.6 MiB)  TX bytes:129642749 (123.6 MiB)
[root@lodzio ~]# ssh miodzio
root@miodzio's password:

[root@miodzio ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
[root@miodzio ~]# ifup eth1
[root@miodzio ~]# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:42:F0:03  
          inet addr:10.1.0.2  Bcast:10.1.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe42:f003/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:210059 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:225581 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:129641886 (123.6 MiB)  TX bytes:152723224 (145.6 MiB)

Now we can start init cluster resources on both nodes

[root@lodzio ~]# crsctl start res -all -init

(...)

[root@lodzio ~]# crsctl stat res -t -init

And now I can remove old interconnect definition from cluster metadata:

[root@miodzio ~]# oifcfg getif
eth1  10.0.0.0  global  cluster_interconnect
eth0  192.168.56.0  global  public
eth1  10.1.0.0  global  cluster_interconnect
[root@miodzio ~]# oifcfg delif -global eth1/10.0.0.0
[root@miodzio ~]# oifcfg getif
eth0  192.168.56.0  global  public
eth1  10.1.0.0  global  cluster_interconnect

OK. Nothing left to do, but starting all cluster resources 🙂
