Unlinking the Oracle binary from the Veritas libraries

If Oracle is on cluster file system, or if you have uninstalled Oracle, skip to Running the uninstallsfrac utility.

Remove the links to the Veritas libraries and convert to Oracle single-instance binary. Use the following procedure on each system you are removing from the RAC cluster.

 To unlink Oracle software

  1. Log in as the oracle user.
  2. Using vi or another text editor, edit the init$ORACLE_SID.ora file.

    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init$ORACLE_SID.ora

    $ vi init$ORACLE_SID.ora

    Set the cluster_database parameter to FALSE.

    cluster_database=FALSE

  3. Change to the ORACLE_HOME directory.

    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib

  4. Restore the original Oracle libraries.

    $ rm libodm9.so

    $ cp libodm9.so_XX_XX_XX-XX_XX_XX libodm9.so

    $ rm libskgxp9.so

    $ cp libskgxp9.so_XX_XX_XX-XX_XX_XX libskgxp9.so

    $ rm libskgxn9.so

    $ cp libskgxp9.so_XX_XX_XX-XX_XX_XX libskgxn9.so


      Note   Replace the XX_XX_XX-XX_XX_XX in the above example with the most recent timestamp.
