Manually switching over Oracle Clusterware-based configuration to the other node
In this recipe we will look at the steps/methods of relocating the GoldenGate resources to the other nodes of the cluster.

For this recipe we will refer to the setup performed in the Creating a highly available GoldenGate configuration using Oracle Clusterware and OCFS2 recipe.
