Step 2: Create pfile from spfile

SQL> select name, open_mode from v$database;

NAME      OPEN_MODE
--------- --------------------
W5005PR   READ WRITE

SQL> create pfile='/home/oracle/initbr8dba.ora' from spfile;

File created.

SQL>


Step 3: Push backup files/pfile to target server

Use scp or FTP 

On Target Server
=================

Step 4: Edit pfile initbr8dba.ora

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ cat initbr8dba.ora
*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/br8dba/adump'
*.audit_trail='db'
*.cluster_database=false
*.compatible='11.2.0.0.0'
*.control_files='+TEST','+DATA'
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_create_file_dest='+TEST'
*.db_domain=''
*.db_name='w5005pr' <---- 
*.DB_UNIQUE_NAME='br8dba' <-----
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=+TEST'
*.log_archive_format='%t_%s_%r.dbf'
*.memory_target=1262485504
*.open_cursors=300
*.processes=150
*.remote_login_passwordfile='exclusive'
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 5: Create Required Folders

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/br8dba/adump
[oracle@rac2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/br8dba/adump


Step 6: Add the entry in oratab

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ cat /etc/oratab | grep -i br8dba
br8dba:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1:N
[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 7: Startup nomount

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [br8dba] ?
The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl add database -d br8dba -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1

[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 20: ADD RAC INSTANCES

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ which srvctl

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl add instance -d br8dba -i br8dba1 -n rac1

[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 21: Start Database using SRVCTL

Please note database already started with SQL*Plus

SQL> select name, open_mode from gv$database;

--------- --------------------
BR8DBA    READ WRITE

[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 22: Stop/Start database using SRVCTL

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl stop database -d br8dba
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d br8dba
Instance br8dba1 is not running on node rac1
Instance br8dba2 is not running on node rac2
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl start database -d br8dba
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d br8dba
Instance br8dba1 is running on node rac1
Instance br8dba2 is running on node rac2
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl config database -d br8dba -a
Database unique name: br8dba

Database instances: br8dba1,br8dba2
Disk Groups: TEST,DATA <--- 
Mount point paths:

Type: RAC
Database is enabled
Database is administrator managed
[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 23: Add Service

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl add service -d br8dba -s BR8DBA_SRV -r br8dba1 -a br8dba2
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl start service -d br8dba -s BR8DBA_SRV
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl status service -d br8dba -s BR8DBA_SRV
Service BR8DBA_SRV is running on instance(s) br8dba1
[oracle@rac1 ~]$


Step 24: Add TNS entry for above service

[oracle@rac1 admin]$ tnsping BR8DBA

TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production on 06-OCT-2016 00:21:04

[oracle@rac1 admin]$


Step 25: Verify

Service register on all scan listeners and local listener of node1

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ lsnrctl status LISTENER | grep -i BR8DBA_SRV
Service "BR8DBA_SRV" has 1 instance(s).
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ lsnrctl status LISTENER_SCAN2 | grep -i BR8DBA_SRV
Service "BR8DBA_SRV" has 1 instance(s).
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ lsnrctl status LISTENER_SCAN3 | grep -i BR8DBA_SRV
Service "BR8DBA_SRV" has 1 instance(s).
[oracle@rac1 ~]$

on node 2
[oracle@rac2 ~]$ lsnrctl status LISTENER_SCAN1 | grep -i BR8DBA_SRV
Service "BR8DBA_SRV" has 1 instance(s).
