Table 6 Variables or Parameters in haoracle.conf file (continued)
DescriptionParameter Name
NOTE: If the Oracle database package is dependent on the SGeRAC
clusterware multi-node package (OC MNP), the Oracle database package
automatically goes into toolkit maintenance mode when the SGeRAC OC MNP
is put into toolkit maintenance mode. To put the SGeRAC OC MNP into toolkit
maintenance mode, its MAINTENANCE_FLAG attribute must be set to 'yes' and
a file oc.debug must be created manually in the OC MNP working directory
on that node. For more information on how to put the SGeRAC OC MNP
package in toolkit maintenance mode, see SGeRAC toolkit README file. If the
MAINTENANCE_FLAG attribute of the SGeRAC OC MNP is set to 'yes', this
parameter must also be set to 'yes' in the Oracle database package.
The time interval (in seconds) the script waits between checks to ensure that the
Oracle instance is running. Default is 30 seconds. This parameter must be set
in the ASM and database instance packages.
MONITOR_INTERVAL
The amount of time, in seconds, the script waits during package halt for the
Oracle database shutdown to complete before removing the Oracle processes
TIME_OUT
defined in MONITOR_PROCESSES. The TIME_OUT variable is used to protect
against a worst-case scenario where a hung instance prevents the package
halt script from completing, therefore preventing the standby node from starting
the instance. This parameter must be set for the ASM and database instance
packages.
This is used to mention if the Oracle or ASM administrator's shell should be
invoked as a new shell or as a sub-shell that inherits the variables set in the
PARENT_ENVIRONMENT
parent shell. This can be set to either 'yes' or 'no' only. Set to 'yes' if the Oracle
or ASM administrator's shell should be invoked as a sub-shell. Set to 'no' if the
Oracle or ASM administrator's shell should be invoked as a new shell. If set to
'no', the Oracle or ASM administrator's .profile file is executed and the variables
set in this .profile file are available to the new shell. This parameter can be set
in the ASM and database instance package.
This parameter indicates whether 'shutdown abort' must be executed before
the startup of the Oracle or ASM instance. 'shutdown abort' ensures the cleanup
CLEANUP_BEFORE_STARTUP
of uncleared shared memory or semaphores. This parameter can be set to only
yes or no. Default value is no. This parameter can be set in the ASM and
database instance package.
This parameter is used to specify the instance shutdown mode only when a
shutdown is initiated by the user and not due to a failure of a service. this
USER_SHUTDOWN_MODE
parameter can take values "abort" or "immediate" only. If "abort" is specified,
the instance is shutdown using the abort option. If "immediate" is specified,
the instance is shutdown using the immediate option. The default value is
"abort". This parameter can be set in the ASM and database instance package.
When ASM is being used, this parameter is used to specify whether the ASM
foreground processes of the form Oracle <ASM_SID> having file descriptors
KILL_ASM_FOREGROUNDS
open on the dismounted disk group volumes must be killed during database
package halt. The Oracle scripts wait for a timeout of 12 seconds before
terminating the foreground processes that continue to have file descriptors open
on the dismounted disk group volumes. This parameter can be set to either
"yes" or "no". The default value is 'yes'. This parameter must be set only in the
case of an ASM database instance package.
This parameter should be populated only in case the Oracle database package
is dependent on the SGeRAC OC MNP package. This parameter should point
OC_TKIT_DIR
to the working directory of the SGeRAC OC MNP. For modular packages, the
value for this parameter is automatically populated when the package is created
using the cmapplyconf command. For legacy packages, this attribute must be
populated manually in the haoracle.conf file. This parameter can be set only
using the CLI and not using the Serviceguard Manager.
