Please tell me what is the function of Grid Naming service used in Oracle RAC?
Answer:
- Oracle RAC provides this Naming service that provides easiness in scaling up the automation of the VIP management system of the Oracle RAC architecture.
- GNS (Grid Naming Service) has to be maintained and monitored by the Network Administrator to maintain the DNS of the system.
- Virtual IP addresses can be maintained by using the cluster and automation can be made in regards of assigning of the IPs.
- Adding of the servers can take place from the pool when the network administrator returns additional IP addresses and GNS requires DHCP server through which it can be accessed publicly.
- The DHCP service of the Oracle allows the dynamic allocation of the Virtual IP addresses that allows the cluster to be joined together in a server.
- GNS provides automation to the system and removes the entire manual configuration with the dynamic nature of the system.
