How to Chang VIP Address in Oracle RAC 11g

Today, I have a request from network administrator for changing vip address in oracle RAC database because of he needs that ip that it set on node1. You can follow below scripts for changing VIP IP address.

On node1:

[root@test-1 bin]# ./srvctl stop vip -n test-1 –f

[root@test-1 bin]# ./srvctl config vip -n test-1

VIP exists: /test-1-vip/10.8.72.27/10.8.72.0/255.255.255.0/eth0, hosting node test-1

·         Be careful, you should add new IP address to your host to each node.

·         We want to change 10.8.72.27 to 10.8.72.32.

[root@test-1 bin]# cd /grid/product/11.2.0/grid_1/bin/

[root@test-1 bin]# ./srvctl  modify nodeapps -n test-1 -A 10.8.72.32/255.255.255.0/eth0

·         Check your new IP:

[root@test-1 bin]# /sbin/ifconfig -a | egrep '(eth0|Mask)'
