RAC Attack - Oracle Cluster Database at Home/Runtime Failover

Power on collabn1 from the VMware Console. After it has started, login as the oracle user and failback the svctest service which we created earlier in this lab. none|border|550px [root@collabn1 ~]# srvctl status database -d RAC Instance RAC1 is running on node collabn1 Instance RAC2 is running on node collabn2 collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl status service -d RAC -s svctest Service svctest is running on instance(s) RAC2 collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl relocate service -d RAC -s svctest -i RAC2 -t RAC1 collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl status service -d RAC -s svctest Service svctest is running on instance(s) RAC1On your local computer edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file used by the Instance Client. Add a new entry called SVCTEST which connects to the svctest service and make sure that the connection works. Also check your TAF settings after connecting. (Side note: we did not configure this service with a domain name, but you can't connect to it unless you specify one in the TNSNAMES entry. Try it. Where did this domain name come from?)
