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

ExampleDescriptionAttribute Name
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_${SID_NAME}
running. You can add more
• ora_smon_${SID_NAME}
instance processes. The processes
mentioned will be monitored by
default.
• 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 it enables
maintenance feature in the toolkit.
HP Serviceguard toolkit for Oracle
looks out for the oracle.debug
file in the Oracle package
directory where all the HP
Serviceguard toolkit for Oracle
files are located.
If the file exists and if the
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.
30The time interval, in seconds, this
script waits between checks to
MONITOR_INTERVAL
ensure that Oracle instance is
running. The default value is 30
seconds.
30The time period, in seconds, this
toolkit waits for a completion of a
TIME_OUT
normal shutdown before initiating
forceful halt of the application.
The TIME_OUT variable is used to
protect against a worst case
scenario where a hung database
or ASM instance prevents the halt
script from completing, therefore
preventing the standby node from
starting the instance.
The TIME_OUT variable has no
effect on package failover times.
The default value is 30 seconds.
