Summary

How to start CRS when the private interconnect's netmask has changed.  When the subnet has changed, GPnPD will not start.  The configuration is stored in the OLR.  This HowTo will describe how to update the OLR with the new netmask.

It seems like an unusual scenario, but it has happened to me twice: once was on a production 11.2 database cluster.  The infrastructure people dictated a new private interconnect subnet and new IP addresses.  The DBA was expected to just fix RAC as this was just a simple infrastructure change, after all!

There are no tools to update the registry settings in the OLR, so we will have to recreate the OLR completely.

Preparation

The netmask has changed from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.99.0/24.  CRS will not have started as GPnPD has not started.

[root@h2-o12-cl1 ~]# /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/bin/crsctl status resource ora.gpnpd -init
NAME=ora.gpnpd
TYPE=ora.gpnp.type
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

The gpnpd.log log file shows the following.

Move aside any old copies of the GPnP profile.  Perform these steps on all cluster nodes.

Reconfigure

Create a backup of the CRS configuration parameters used during the installation, and make our network subnet change.

[root@h1-o12-cl1 gpnp]# cd /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/crs/install
[root@h1-o12-cl1 install]# cp -pi crsconfig_params crsconfig_params.0

Run the root script on each cluster node in turn.  If the script fails, then run it again until it succeeds.
