srvctl add instance

Adds a configuration for an instance to your cluster database configuration.

You can only use this command for administrator-managed databases. If you have a policy-managed database, then use the srvctl modify srvpool command to add an instance to increase either the maximum size, minimum size, or both, of the server pool used by the database.

Note:

  • This command increments the CARDINALITY resource attribute.

  • This command is only available with Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC.

  • If you attempt to use this command on an Oracle RAC One Node database, then the command returns an error stating you must convert the database to Oracle RAC.
