This chapter describes the procedures for converting from Oracle Database single-instance databases to Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) and Oracle RAC One Node databases.
The procedures in this chapter assume that your original single-instance database and the target Oracle RAC database are using the same release and running on the same platform. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Oracle RAC to Oracle RAC 12c, then use Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA).
This chapter includes the following topics:
Administrative Issues for Converting Databases to Oracle RAC
Preparing to Convert with rconfig and Oracle Enterprise Manager
Note:
You must use clustered Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) instances for Oracle RAC databases.
