Note:
The procedures in this section only apply to administrator-managed databases. Policy-managed databases use nodes when the nodes are available in the databases' server pool.
You can use either Oracle Enterprise Manager or DBCA to add Oracle RAC database instances to the target nodes. To add a database instance to a target node with Oracle Enterprise Manager, see the Oracle Database 2 Day + Real Application Clusters Guide for complete information.
This section describes using DBCA to add Oracle RAC database instances.
These tools guide you through the following tasks:
Creating a new database instance on each target node
Creating and configuring high availability components
Creating the Oracle Net configuration for a non-default listener from the Oracle home
Starting the new instance
Creating and starting services if you entered services information on the Services Configuration page
After adding the instances to the target nodes, you should perform any necessary service configuration procedures, as described in Workload Management with Dynamic Database Services.
