HP Serviceguard Linux Oracle-Toolkit-A.05.01.00 User Guide (696983-001, June 2012)

ExampleDescriptionAttribute
vgora_asmDefines volume groups used in the
ASM disk groups for this database
ASM_VOLUME_GROUP
instance. You can add more than
one volume group by adding to
this array variable.
/asm_homeThe home directory where ASM is
installed.
ASM_HOME
oracleThe user name of the Oracle ASM
administrator. It is used to start or
ASM_USER
stop the ASM instance and
mounting or dismounting the ASM
disk groups.
+ASMThe ASM session name that
uniquely identifies an ASM
instance.
ASM_SID
${ASM_HOME}/dbs/
init${ASM_SID}.ora
It is the Oracle database
parameter file. If this attribute is
not specified, Oracle picks this up
PFILE
from the Oracle configuration
directory $ASM_HOME/dbs.
When this parameter is
configured, it overrides the default
file location. If both PFILE and
SPFILE are present and this
parameter left unspecified, then
HP Serviceguard toolkit for Oracle
makes use of PFILE as the
parameter file.
To make use of SPFILE in the
toolkit do not configure this
parameter and remove the default
PFILE from its default location.
This is the list of all the critical
Oracle ASM processes for an
MONITOR_PROCESSES
• asm_pmon_${ASM_SID}
• asm_dbw0_${ASM_SID}
instance that must be executing to
assume that the instance is up and
• asm_ckpt_${ASM_SID}
running. You can add more
instance processes.
• asm_smon_${ASM_SID}
• asm_lgwr_${ASM_SID}
• asm_reco_${ASM_SID}
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 where all the
HP Serviceguard toolkit for Oracle
files are located.
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.
