Testing the configuration

To ensure reliable operations in the cluster:

• Start database instances at the same time on all desired nodes.

  This verification confirms multiple node access to the database.

• Start listeners on all nodes using the host names specified in the listener.ora configuration files.

  This action may require configuring IP aliases on servers.

• Verify all instances are registered with all the listeners.

  This critical step ensures clients can connect to any listener to access any instance.

• Verify the client systems can access the new database.
