Activity:
====================
1.
[oracle@oraracn2 dbs]$ cd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs
[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$

2. Backup orig xml file or create new file for our activity.

[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$ cp ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml

ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml_orig

3. Do required changes in .xml file

<n:Convert verify="YES"> ==> only

<n:SourceDBHome>/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1</n:SourceDBHome> ==>
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
<n:TargetDBHome>/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1</n:TargetDBHome> ==>
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
<n:SourceDBInfo SID="sales"> ==> rone_2
change credentials if required.

Change node list:

<n:NodeList>
 <n:Node name="node1"/> ==>oraracn1
<n:Node name="node2"/> ==>oraracn2
</n:NodeList>
<!--Instance Prefix tag is optional starting with 11.2. If left empty, it is
derived from db_unique_name.-->
<n:InstancePrefix>sales</n:InstancePrefix> ==> empty ==>
<n:InstancePrefix></n:InstancePrefix>

<n:TargetDatabaseArea>+ASMDG</n:TargetDatabaseArea> ==> DATA

<n:TargetFlashRecoveryArea>+ASMDG</n:TargetFlashRecoveryArea> ==> FRA

Note:
�Convert verify�: Value of �ONLY� denotes to run rconfig in Test mode, �YES�
denotes Live mode conversion.

Now execute rconfig in Test mode only (<n:Convert verify=�ONLY�>). Post success, we
can execute with <n:Convert verify=�YES�>.

4. Crosscheck once "convert verify" Tag.

[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$ cat ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml |grep "Convert

verify"
<n:Convert verify="ONLY">

5. Goto $ORACLE_HOME/bin and execute.

[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/bin/

[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$ ls -ltr |grep rconf
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 oracle oinstall 7097 Apr 28 02:30 rconfig
[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$

./rconfig
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs/ConvertToRAC_Admi
nManaged.xml

6. Here �Operation Succeded� mentions its success in test mode.

Now execute rconfig in Live mode only (change <n:Convert verify=�YES�>). And
execute below.

[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$ vi
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs/ConvertToRAC_Admi
nManaged.xml
[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$ cat

<n:Convert verify="YES">

[oracle@oraracn2 ~]$ srvctl start database -d rone

PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.rone.db
CRS-2501: Resource 'ora.rone.db' is disabled
[oracle@oraracn2 ~]$

Solution for above startup problem.

[oracle@oraracn2 ~]$ srvctl enable database -d rone

Issue not resolved.

After rconfig in above case db got removed from crsctl resource list:

srvctl add instance -d rone -i rone1 -n oraracn1
srvctl add instance -d rone -i rone2 -n oraracn2
