Hi,
I tried this myself for Redhat 7 . It includes both UEFI or legacy boot
mode cases. I had to add the arguments at the of the grub for it to work
and not in the middle.

Hi,
I have a three-node RAC running on RHEL6. The grid version is 12.1.0.2.
To upgrade the OS from RHEL6 to RHEL7, we took the following path as
suggested by Oracle:
1) Delete the node before the OS upgrade.
2) Perform the OS upgrade on the deleted node.
3) Add the node back and perform the relink.
To upgrade the OS, our data center folks installed the new OS on a new
disk, detached the old disk and attached the one with the new OS. After the
upgrade, some of the RAC interfaces were renamed by the OS as shown below:
Old name --> New name
eth7 --> eth9
eth8 --> eth4
eth9 --> eth10
I have been told by our data center folks that in RHEL7 these interfaces
were reordered and that RHEL 7 does not give us the same easy ability to
reorder the cards as in the previous version. It is my understanding that
an interface name in RAC has to be consistent across the cluster (eth8 on
node1 as a private interconnect has to have the same name on node2 and
nod3), and therefore, with the reordering of interfaces, it will not be
possible to add the node back into the cluster. Has anyone gone through a
similar scenario as ours? How were you able to resolve it?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Amri
