DB version :11.2
OS : AIX/Solaris
When something goes wrong with a RAC DB, the end user needs to provide us the connection details of the DB. ie the hostname or IP of the physical server (public IP) , so that we could connect and start fixing the issue.
But the end user looks at the tnsnames.ora file and provides us the VIP address found in tnsnames ! Can't blame them
I can't find the physical address of the server from VIP. I need to know on which physical server the VIP is configured.
ping, nslookup, host
commands will only show the IP of the VIP name.
When you have a VIP name , is there anyway i could determine on which server(public IP) that VIP is configured ?
