How to Manually syncnodes in TFA when "tfactl syncnodes" fails (Doc ID 2257890.1)

How to get all nodes to show when running tfactl print status? Currently only two of the fours nodes are displayed.

| Host     | Status of TFA | PID    | Port | Version    | Build ID             | Inventory Status |
+---------------+---------------+--------+------+------------+----------------------+------------------+
| racnode1 | RUNNING       | 181861 | 5000 | 12.1.2.8.4 | 12128420161122101422 | COMPLETE |
| racnode2 | RUNNING       | 184825 | 5000 | 12.1.2.8.4 | 12128420161122101422 | COMPLETE |
'---------------+---------------+--------+------+------------+----------------------+------------------'

racnode1:~ # tfactl print hosts
Host Name : racnode1
Host Name : racnode2
Host Name : racnode3
Host Name : racnode4 

In the TFA logs you will see an SSL Handshake error such as:

2017-03-30 14:12:27.585 [ERROR] [Thread-4771] SSLHandshake Failed. Cannot process request from host : racnode<n>

SOLUTION

(on racnode1)
# tfactl host remove racnode<n>

(on racnode<n>)
# tfactl shutdown      <----IMPORTANT!
 
(on racnode1)
$ copy client.jks and server.jks from racnode1 TFA_HOME to racnode<n> TFA_HOME

How to find TFA_HOME?:  $ ps -ef | grep tfa
root 29091 1 0 Apr11 ? 00:37:38 /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/jdk/jre/bin/java -Xms128m -Xmx512m oracle.rat.tfa.TFAMain /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/tfa/racnode1/tfa_home <---------TFA_HOME Directory

  
$ cd /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/tfa/racnode1/tfa_home
copy TFA_HOME/internal ssl.properties from racnode1 to racnode<n>

(on racnode<n>)
# tfactl start

Verify node is now showing in status:

# ./tfactl print status

注意检查/etc/hosts中的主机名配置，防止127.0.0.1对应配错主机名，导致两边无法联通。

例如：

[root@rac1 tfa_home]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 #之前发现有这个地方配置了rac1导致status无法获取到其它节点状态
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
#public
192.168.19.59            rac1
192.168.19.60            rac2
#vip
192.168.19.61             rac1-vip
192.168.19.62             rac2-vip
#priv
10.168.0.59    rac1-priv
10.168.0.60    rac2-priv
#scan
192.168.19.63     rac-scan

错误的状态:

正确的状态如下:
修改完/etc/hosts后，tfactl shutdown并检查ps -ef|grep tfa，确保两节点都已经没有tfa进程，再tfactl start即可

如果需要添加则用tfactl host add rac2命令

[root@rac1 tfa_home]# /oracle/app/12.2.0/grid/bin/tfactl status
