HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Oracle Version A.05.01.01 on Linux User Guide (December, 2012)

ExampleDescriptionAttribute
LISTENER_RESTART number of
times to restart the listener.
This parameter is commented by
default.
${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/
init${SID_NAME}.ora
The Oracle database parameter
file. If this attribute is not specified,
Oracle picks this up from the
PFILE
Oracle configuration directory
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
When this parameter is
configured, it overrides the default
file location.
If both PFILE and SPFILE are
present and this parameter is not
specified, then HP Serviceguard
toolkit for Oracle makes use of
PFILE as the parameter file.
To make use of SPFILE in the
toolkit, do not configure this
parameter, and remove the default
PFILE from its default location.
This is the list of all the critical
Oracle processes for an instance
MONITOR_PROCESSES
• ora_pmon_${SID_NAME}
• ora_dbw0_${SID_NAME}
that must be executing to assume
that the instance is up and
• ora_ckpt_${SID_NAME}
running. You can add more
instance processes.
• ora_smon_${SID_NAME}
• ora_lgwr_${SID_NAME}
• ora_reco_${SID_NAME}
yesThe Maintenance flag is used to
bring this toolkit into maintenance
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
mode. If set to yes then this
enables maintenance feature in
the toolkit. HP Serviceguard toolkit
for Oracle looks out for the
oracle.debug file in the Oracle
package directory.
If the file exists and if maintenance
feature is enabled, then monitoring
is paused, the ASM or the
database instance might be
brought down for maintenance,
and package does not fail over to
the adoptive node even though the
instance is not running.
After the maintenance work,
ensure that the instance is running.
Then delete the oracle.debug
file in the package directory. This
enables toolkit to continue
monitoring the database server
application or the ASM instance.
NOTE: If the Maintenance flag
is set to no, then the maintenance
feature is not available which
means the toolkit cannot be
brought into maintenance mode.
