Last updated on JULY 26, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.1 and later
Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service - Version N/A and later
Gen 1 Exadata Cloud at Customer (Oracle Exadata Database Cloud Machine) - Version N/A and later
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Database Service - Version N/A and later

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

The purpose of this document is to explain how to change the IP addresses associated with the SCAN VIPs in 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure / CRS and higher environments.

The IP addresses associated with the SCAN VIP resources are initially set when the SCAN resources are created.
Any changes to the DNS entry for the SCAN are not automatically propagated to the clusterware and need to be done manually.

This applies only to installations that are not using GNS.

The information in this note can also be helpful in cases where SCAN was originally configured with just one address and is now being expanded to accommodate three IP addresses.
