Oracle RAC (Real Application

Clusters) multiple listeners and load

balance

• Oracle RAC supports clusters, multiple

listeners, load balance.
• AOD only supports clusters, multiple
listeners.

Scenario 1
After bring Node 1 back online
Scenario 2
After bring node 1 online again
 Expecting Result
• Infrastructure listener and FI1 listener will always connect to Node 1
first as primary node
• FI2 listener will always connect to Node 2 first as primary node.
• When Node 1 is down, Infrastructure listener and FI1 listener will
switch to Node 2. FI2 listener will remain on Node 2
• When Node 1 back online again, Infrastructure listener and FI1
listener will switch back to Node 1, FI2 listener will remain on Node
2
• When Node 2 is down, Infrastructure listener and FI1 listener will
remain on Node 1, FI2 listener will switch to Node 1
• When Node 2 back online again, Infrastructure listener and FI1
listener will remain on Node 1, FI2 listener will switch back to Node
2
 Recovery from failed over
• All the previous connection will be restore
to the original oracle rac node (based from
the AOD’s feedback, but they are not
100% sure)

• http://man3aekb01vm/wiki/index.php/AppE
ng:Development_RAC_Testing_Env
• Running the same test case on both FI1
and FI2 at the same time, then failover a
node
• Verify the failover is working as expected
• Verify test cases are working as expected.
• Record the test results
