I read something about this functionality introduced in Oracle 11g R2, I haven't very clear as you can get when you add a new node to the cluster is configured automatically.
I understand that using GNS, you can help reduce the cost of management of IPs and is used with a DHCP Server GNS sevice. But not if there is more functionality that allows a more powerful management software in the installation, management of ASM or RDBMS instances on the new server cluster.
Would I could clarify whether what is called Grid Plug and Play is the GNS (Grid Naming Service) functionality?
Or is there more dynamic management capabilities?
Which role play the gpnp profile file, aka profile.xml?
Thank You.
Best regards.
