HP Serviceguard Enterprise Cluster Master Toolkit User Guide (5900-2145, April 2013)

Table 6 Variables or Parameters in haoracle.conf file (continued)
DescriptionParameter Name
The home directory where ASM is installed. This parameter must be set for both
the ASM and the ASM database instance packages.
ASM_HOME
The user name of the Oracle ASM administrator. This parameter must be set
for both ASM instance and ASM database instance packages.
ASM_USER
The ASM session name. This uniquely identifies an ASM instance. If the database
instance package depends on the ASM MNP package, this parameter needs
ASM_SID
to be set for both the ASM and the database instance packages. This parameter
need not be set in case the database instance package depends on the SGeRAC
clusterware package (OC MNP). This parameter is set to "+ASM" by default.
Oracle database /ASM parameter file. If not specified, Oracle picks this up
from the Oracle configuration directory $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or
$ASM_HOME/dbs depending on the INSTANCE_TYPE.
PFILE
This parameter, when configured, overrides the default file or location. If both
PFILE and SPFILE are present and this parameter is not specified, the Oracle
SPFILE
scripts uses PFILE as the parameter file. To make use of SPFILE in the scripts, do
not configure this parameter and remove the default PFILE from its default
location. This parameter must be set for both the ASM and the database instance
packages.
NOTE: For Oracle 11gR2, by default, the spfile of the ASM instance is stored
on the ASM diskgroup. This is true only for the ASM instance and not for the
database instance that uses the ASM diskgroup. For an ASM instance, the ECM
Toolkit cannot verify the existence of the spfile on the ASM diskgroup. So, it is
mandatory that a pfile is created from the spfile on the local disk, at a location
that ECMT can access. For 11gR2 ASM instance, the value of the PFILE attribute
must point to the pfile that is created on the local disk.
Set to "yes" if you want the scripts to start and stop the Oracle Listener. This
parameter must be set only in the database instance package.
LISTENER
The name of the listener process. This parameter must be set only in the database
instance package.
LISTENER_NAME
The password of the listener process. This parameter must be set only in the
database instance package.
LISTENER_PASS
The names of all processes that should be executing. This parameter must be
set for the ASM and the database instance packages. The description of this
MONITOR_PROCESSES
attribute in the package configuration file has a sample of processes that must
be monitored for ASM and database instances.
This variable will enables or disables toolkit maintenance mode for the Oracle
database package and ASM MNP. By default, this is set to yes. To disable
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
this feature, MAINTENANCE_FLAG must be set to no. When Oracle Database
or ASM must be maintained, a file <package directory >/oracle.debug
must be created. During this maintenance period, the process monitoring for
the Database or ASM instance is paused. Even if the instance is brought down,
its package is not failed over to the standby node.
To continue monitoring and to exit from the maintenance mode, you must
remove the oracle.debug file. You must ensure that the instance is properly
running after the maintenance phase is complete. This parameter can be set in
the ASM and database instance package.
