    1. The document discusses configuring a domain name server (DNS) to delegate name resolution requests for cluster member nodes to the Grid Naming Service (GNS). 2. This involves creating DNS entries for the GNS virtual IP address and subdomain, and configuring the DNS to forward requests for the GNS subdomain to the GNS IP address. 3. Nodes in the cluster also need name server entries configured to resolve to corporate DNS servers, with options to limit attempts and timeouts to less than 30 seconds.

    DNS Configuration for Domain Delegation to Grid Naming Service


    If you plan to use GNS, then before Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, you
    must
    configure your domain name server (DNS) to send to GNS name resolution requests
    for the subdomain GNS serves, which are the cluster member nodes. The following is
    an overview of what needs to be done for domain delegation. Your actual procedure
    may be different from this example.
    Configure the DNS to send GNS name resolution requests using delegation:
    1. In the DNS, create an entry for the GNS virtual IP address, where the address
    uses
    the form gns-server.CLUSTERNAME.DOMAINNAME. For example, where the

    cluster name is mycluster, and the domain name is example.com, and the IP
    address is 192.0.2.1, create an entry similar to the following:
    mycluster-gns.example.com A 192.0.2.1
    The address you provide must be routable.
    2. Set up forwarding of the GNS subdomain to the GNS virtual IP address, so that
    GNS resolves addresses to the GNS subdomain. To do this, create a BIND
    configuration entry similar to the following for the delegated domain, where
    cluster01.example.com is the subdomain you want to delegate:
    cluster01.example.com NS mycluster-gns.example.com
    3. When using GNS, you must configure resolve.conf on the nodes in the cluster
    (or the file on your system that provides resolution information) to contain name
    server entries that are resolvable to corporate DNS servers. The total timeout
    period configured—a combination of options attempts (retries) and options
    timeout (exponential backoff)—should be less than 30 seconds. For example,
    where xxx.xxx.xxx.42 and xxx.xxx.xxx.15 are valid name server addresses in your
    network, provide an entry similar to the following in /etc/resolv.conf:
    options attempts: 2
    options timeout: 1
    search cluster01.example.com example.com
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.42
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.15
    /etc/nsswitch.conf controls

    name service lookup order. In some system


    configurations, the Network Information System (NIS) can cause problems with
    Oracle SCAN address resolution. Oracle recommends that you place the nis entry
    at the end of the search list. For example:
    /etc/nsswitch.conf
    hosts: files dns nis
    2.7.6 Grid Naming Service Configuration Example
    If you use GNS, then you need to specify a static IP address for the GNS VIP
    address,
    and delegate a subdomain to be delegated to that static GNS IP address.
    As nodes are added to the cluster, your organization's DHCP server can provide
    addresses for these nodes dynamically. These addresses are then registered
    automatically in GNS, and GNS provides resolution within the subdomain to cluster
    node addresses registered with GNS.
    Because allocation and configuration of addresses is performed automatically with
    GNS, no further configuration is required. Oracle Clusterware provides dynamic
    network configuration as nodes are added to or removed from the cluster. The
    following example is provided only for information.
    With a two node cluster where you have defined the GNS VIP, after installation you
    might have a configuration similar to the following for a two-node cluster, where
    the
    cluster name is mycluster, the GNS parent domain is example.com, the subdomain
