25 Perform the following steps on each node :
a Ty p e srvctl status database -d <database name> to determine which database
instance exists on that node.
b Type the following commands to add the ORACLE_SID environment variable entry in the oracle
user profile:
echo "export ORACLE_SID=racdbx" >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile
source /home/oracle/.bash_profile
where racdbx is the database instance identifier assigned to the node.
This example assumes that
racdb is the global database name that you defined in DBCA.
26 On one node , type:
srvctl status database -d dbname
where dbname is the global identifier name that you defined for the database in DBCA.
If the database instances are running, confirmation appears on the screen.
If the database instances are
not running, type:
srvctl start database -d dbname
where dbname is the global identifier name that you defined for the database in DBCA.
