1. Create a service on the RAC cluster to setup for TAF. Example creates a service called server_taf to the database called rac, with instance names rac1 & rac2.
Please note for the service name, select a name that is unique and not the same as the default service name created. A special Oracle database service is created by default for your Oracle RAC database. This default service is always available on all instances in an Oracle RAC environment, unless an instance is in restricted mode. You cannot alter this service or its properties.http://qiye.yicubao.com/about.asp?id=77
srvctl add service -d rac -s server_taf -r "rac1,rac2" -P BASIC
2. Start the service server_taf
srvctl start service -d rac -s server_taf
3. Check service is running
srvctl config service -d rac
ractest PREF: rac1 rac2 AVAIL:
server_taf PREF: rac1 rac2 AVAIL:
4. Find the service_id value for the service just created
