Now RAC conversion is going on for this database
[oracle@srv1 dbs]$ mv initracnew.ora initracnew1.ora
[oracle@srv1 dbs]$vi initracnew1.ora -->Add the below cluster parameters
*.cluster_database=true
racnew2.thread=2
racnew1.thread=1
racnew2.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS2'
racnew1.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
racnew2.instance_number=2
racnew1.instance_number=1
Add the instance number in the oratab file
racnew1:/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1:N
create the audit trail directory on node-2, wherever you want to start the second instance
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/racnew/adump
[oracle@srv1 dbs]$
[oracle@srv1 dbs]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [racnew] ? racnew1
The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle

srvctl add instance -db racnew -i racnew1 -n srv1.localdomain
srvctl add instance -db racnew -i racnew2 -n srv2.localdomain
Now stop the database running with pfile=initracnew1.ora from sql prompt and then start with SRVCTL
srvctl start database -d racnew
[oracle@srv1 dbs]$ srvctl status database -d racnew -v -f
Instance racnew1 is running on node srv1. Instance status: Open.
Instance racnew2 is running on node srv2. Instance status: Open.
