Startup and Shutdown of RAC database | oracle rac administration | srvctl commands

[@jeffbutchko1351]

Good job and thanks ! Been awhile since I have done RAC stuff since I have been bogged down the last several years trying to interpret Oracle WebLogic "stuff". Its all coming back to me now ...

Glad to hear that Jeff

Great explanation... Please provide more videos on data guard as well as RAC could be very helpful.

When you shutdown the database using 'srvtl stop database', srvctl used the shutdown mode specified while configuring/adding the database to OCR. You can check the current value by 'srvctl config database -d '

I have the question , I use the Cluster volume manager (CVM) to form two active nodes, I have the maintenance so I shutdown the DB by shutdown immediate instead of the hagrp -offline service group. Once I shutdown immeidate, the service group offline auto, so I cannot do the maintenance. May I know if the situation, how can I shutdown DB service and keep the service group online with the mount point? Thank you

[@wysheid2009]

Hi , in this case , you must use CVM command to stop the database . If you try with shutdown immediate command , the CVM will consider its as an outage . You may have to look/work with CVM commands tto stop database

@@wysheid2009 Thank you for your reply . May I know the CVM command ? srvctl stop database -d db_name

[@wysheid2009]

@@SHARK224 . srvctl is the oracle cluster command. In your case you have to use the cluster volume manager command. You may have to check with your operating system administrator

Hi. Wysheild. When we use srvctl to stop db , then what shut command is done actually?? How to specify shut abort, shut immediate etc in srvctl Without this explanation at less I think this information is not complete. Please reply

[@monday6740]

The shutdown/startup options are options of the cluster service. I think it is a major issue that the srvctl command is not stating anything at all, when being run. It could for example show what startup or shutdown options are used. But, they don't. It illustrates the fact that these services were not meant to be used for database manipulation, hence you can start questioning their functionality in general. Obviously, clustering features are only available when using these services, but on database level, there is no added value.

WHERE are the commands to stop the cluster resources, u just showed the database part..
