listener.

The GUI supports a rich set of functionality for managing Virtual Oracle

Services. Operations include:

MxDB-Oracle-HiAv Command Line Interface

The High Availability component of Matrix Server is a superuser

infrastructure. The mxdb command provides Database Administrators

with a secure, fixed set of administration functionality. The command can

be executed only by users in group DBA. This ensures that database

operations such as startup and shutdown can be performed only by

either Oracle DBAs using the mxdb command, the MxDB-Oracle-HiAv

GUI, or the System Administrator through the PolyServe Management

Console.
