Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC, 10th Edition, April 2013

DescriptionAttributes
This parameter specifies the requirement to kill if any ASM foreground processes that have
file descriptors open on the dismounted disk group volumes. This parameter can be set to
either Yes (default) or No.
KILL_ASM_FOREGROUNDS
ASM Disk groups used by the database instanceASM_DISK GROUP
Volume groups used in the ASM disk groups for this database instance.ASM_VOLUME_GROUP:
Time interval in seconds (default 60) between consecutive checks of ASM disk group status
by the MNP.
CHECK_INTERVAL
ASMDG MNP maintenance mode: yes or no (default). This variable will enable or disable
maintenance mode for the ASMDG MNP. If the ASMDG MNP needs to be maintained on
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
one node, this parameter must be set to yes and a file <ASMDG MNP working
directory>/asm_dg .debug must be created manually on that node. During this
maintenance period Oracle ASM disk group checking is paused. Even if the Oracle ASM
disk group is brought down on the local node, the ASMDG MNP on that node is not
halted.To continue monitoring and come back from the maintenance mode on one node,
you must remove the asm_dg.debug file on that node. You must ensure that the Oracle
ASM disk group is mounted properly after the maintenance phase.
Set to Oracle Clusterware package (OC MNP) toolkit working directory.This parameter
contains a directory path where the Oracle Clusterware toolkit configuration file (oc.conf)
OC_TKIT_DIR
is generated. The toolkit maintenance mode flag file (oc.debug) must be created in
this directory to put the package in toolkit maintenance mode.
During a modular package configuration, this parameter is automatically set by
cmapplyconf command. You can also specify a desired path, if you do not want the
default directory path settings.
If MAINTENANCE_FLAG is set to no, OC_TKIT_DIR is not required, and ASMDG MNP
does not check the OC MNP maintenance status.
For the RAC MNP (rac_dbi.conf):
DescriptionAttributes
Oracle database home directory.ORACLE_HOME
Oracle Clusterware home directory.ORA_CRS_HOME
HP-UX user name corresponding to the owner of Oracle software.ORACLE_USER
The database name.ORACLE_DBNAME
Mode of instance start: mount, nomount, or open (default).START_MODE
Mode of instance stop: normal, transactional, immediate, or abort (default).If the RAC MNP
fails, this Toolkit will use the "abort" option to halt the RAC instance for a quick package
shutdown regardless of the STOP_MODE value.
STOP_MODE
Time interval in seconds (default 60) between consecutive checks of RAC instance status
by the MNP.
CHECK_INTERVAL
Time interval in seconds (default 180) for the Toolkit script to wait for Oracle to restart an
instance which is terminated prematurely before exiting the package.
ORA_RESTART_TIMEOUT
Time interval in seconds (default 120) for the Toolkit script to wait for the Oracle abort to
complete before killing the Oracle background processes. The ORA_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
ORA_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
variable is used to protect against a worst-case scenario where a hung database prevents
the package halt script from completing. The value of ORA_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT must
be less than the HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT value set in the RAC package configuration file.
RAC MNP maintenance mode: yes or no (default). This variable will enable or disable
maintenance mode for the RAC MNP. When the RAC MNP needs to be maintained on
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
one node, this parameter must be set to yes and a file "<RAC MNP working directory>/
rac.debug" must be created manually on that node. During this maintenance period process
checking for the Oracle RAC instance is paused. Even if the Oracle RAC instance is brought
