Modifying SCAN Configuration in Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC

Rename SCAN

The original name was "ol6-112-scan" and I want to rename it to "ol6-112-scan2". Check the new name is configured in the DNS.

$ nslookup ol6-112-scan2
Server:		192.168.0.4
Address:	192.168.0.4#53

Name:	ol6-112-scan2.localdomain
Address: 192.168.0.117
Name:	ol6-112-scan2.localdomain
Address: 192.168.0.116
Name:	ol6-112-scan2.localdomain
Address: 192.168.0.115

$

Display the current configuration using the following command as the oracle/grid user.

$ export GRID_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid
$ $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl config scan 
SCAN name: ol6-112-scan, Network: 1/192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0/eth0
SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: /ol6-112-scan/192.168.0.115
SCAN VIP name: scan2, IP: /ol6-112-scan/192.168.0.116
SCAN VIP name: scan3, IP: /ol6-112-scan/192.168.0.117
$

Turn off the SCAN and SCAN listeners using the following commands as the oracle/grid user.

$ export GRID_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid
$ $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl stop scan_listener 
$ $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl stop scan

Modify the SCAN name using the following commands as the root user.

# export GRID_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid
# $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl modify scan -n ol6-112-scan2   
# $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl modify type ora.scan_vip.type -attr "ATTRIBUTE=SCAN_NAME,DEFAULT_VALUE=ol6-112-scan2"

Turn on the SCAN and SCAN listeners again using the following commands as the oracle/grid user.

$ $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl modify scan_listener -u 
$ $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl start scan_listener

Display the changed configuration.

$ $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl config scan 
SCAN name: ol6-112-scan2, Network: 1/192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0/eth0
SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: /ol6-112-scan2/192.168.0.115
SCAN VIP name: scan2, IP: /ol6-112-scan2/192.168.0.116
SCAN VIP name: scan3, IP: /ol6-112-scan2/192.168.0.117
