You can use the srv.keepAliveTimer option on pool server start-up to specify the time
between checks for non-running autoRestart servers. See Pool Server Configuration
Options for more details.
If the pool server is shutdown using the controller or the Oracle SQL/Services manager,
then during server shutdown all pooled servers within the pool that have autoStart enabled
will also be shut down.
3.3.2.1 Pool Server redirection and failSAFE IP
During connection redirection by the pool server, the IP of the chosen pooled server will be
returned to the thin driver so that it may redirect the client's connection request to that
chosen server. As the DNS node name conversions may differ on the client and server
node, the pool server will implicitly convert any named nodes to IP addresses before
returning the resultant IP to the thin driver.
The conversion to IP addresses may limit the failover to a standby address carried out by
failSAFE IP.
failSAFE IP is an optional service provided by TCP/IP Services on OpenVMS to allow IP
addresses to fail over when nodes fail.
You may specify that the pool server does not translate named nodes to IP addresses during
the connection redirection, maintaining the "logical" nature of the named IP and thus
allowing failSAFE IP to correctly redirect to a standby node.
See –srv.useLogicalIps in Pool Server Configuration Options
for more details.
