The following are two examples of an XML ConvertToRAC input file for the rconfig utility. Example 14-1 is an XML input file to convert a single-instance database with Oracle ASM to a policy-managed Oracle RAC database (using server pools) on Oracle ASM storage. Example 14-2 is an XML input file to convert a single-instance database with Oracle ASM to an administrator-managed Oracle RAC database.
