Hello RAC experts,
I understand the OCR backups are automatically generated on the master node in the $GRID_HOME/cdata/clustername sub-directory. I wanted to generated an ocr backup manually using the -manualbackup option. But it got generated on a leaf node (Not the master node).
We have a 2-node Oracle 12c R1 RAC cluster. Node1 and Node2 respectively.
1) Login as root
2) cd $ORACLE_HOME/log/oraracn1/cssd
3) grep -i "master node" ocssd.log | tail -1
This verifies that the master node is Node1. I ran the same command on Node2 also. There also the master node is shown as Node1 only.
4) mkdir /home/oracle/ocr_manual_backups (Created this custom directory on both nodes)
5) ocrconfig -backuploc /home/oracle/ocr_manual_backups
6) ocrconfig -manualbackup (It took the manual backup. But the manual backup is visible in Node 2, not in Node 1's /home/oracle/ocr_manual_backups directory).
Any ideas why the manual backup is generated on a leaf node (Node 2 here) and not the master node Node 1.
