HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Oracle on Linux User Guide (May 2013)

Table 2 Lists the attributes that you can edit (continued)
ExampleDescriptionAttribute Name
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 Oracle
PFILE
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 Oracle toolkit 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. The
default value is
${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/
init${SID_NAME}.ora.
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 running.
• ora_ckpt_${SID_NAME}
You can add more instance
• ora_smon_${SID_NAME}
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 package into maintenance
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
mode. If set to yes then it enables
maintenance feature in the package.
HP Serviceguard package for
Oracle looks out for the
oracle.debug file in the Oracle
package directory where all the HP
Serviceguard package for Oracle
files reside.
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
the package to continue monitoring
the database server application or
the ASM instance. The default value
is yes.
