You Asked

Greetings,

Hope you are doing well.
I wanted to ask a short question/advice for one of our issues.
We are replacing some nodes in a production rac cluster with newer ones.
Is adding/deleting nodes the best way to go about? Or are there any other options available (cloning ? )

Appreciate your help
Thanks
Saad

You can clone ORACLE_HOME via the installer. Plenty of good doc here

Cloning gives the advantage of picking up things like patches and the like.
