Converting a Non-GNS Cluster to a Client Cluster

To convert a cluster that is not running GNS to a GNS client cluster:

  1. Log in as root and run the following command in the server cluster to export the GNS instance client data configuration to a file: 
    # srvctl export gns -clientdata path_to_file

    You must specify the fully-qualified path to the file.

    Note:

    You can use the GNS configuration Client Data file you generate with Oracle Universal Installer as an input file for creating shared GNS clients.

  2. Import the file you created in the preceding step on a node in the cluster to make that cluster a client cluster by running the following command as root: 
    # srvctl add gns -clientdata path_to_file

    Note:

    You must copy the file containing the GNS data from the server cluster to a node in the cluster where you run this command.

  3. Change the SCAN name, as follows: 
    $ srvctl modify scan -scanname scan.client_clustername.server_GNS_subdomain
