Serviceguard Configuration for Oracle 10g RAC
RAC Instances
Chapter 242
RAC Instances
Automated Startup and Shutdown
CRS can be configured to automatically start, monitor, restart, and halt
RAC instances.
If CRS is not configured to automatically start the RAC instance at
Oracle Cluster Software startup, the RAC instance startup can be
automated through scripts using supported commands, such as srvctl
or sqlplus, in a SGeRAC package to start and halt RAC instances.
NOTE svrctl and sqlplus are Oracle commands.
Manual Startup and Shutdown
Manual RAC instance startup and shutdown is supported through the
following commands: srvctl or sqlplus
Shared Storage
It is expected the shared storage is available when the RAC instance is
started. Since the RAC instance expects the shared storage to be
available, ensure the shared storage is activated. For SLVM, the shared
volume groups must be activated and for CVM, the disk group must be
activated. For CFS, the cluster file system must be mounted.
