3.1.1 MxDB-Oracle-HiAv Installation and Administration Guide

Chapter 3: Operations 12

The following parameters can be set in the configuration file.

Solution Pack Logging

The probes and monitors provided with the Solution Pack send logging

output to two locations. On each node, the Solution Pack sends

start/stop/recovery and probe logging information to a non-CFS

directory. However, to aid in administration, it also sends log messages to

a central log in the PolyServe cluster filesystem.

The system-level logs are placed in /var/log/polyserve and are named

SPACK_ORACLE.<DBNAME>-<type>.log, where DBNAME is the name

given at Virtual Oracle Service creation time and type is either start, stop,

recovery, or probe. Generally, these logs are used only by PolyServe

Technical Support.

The central log is placed in $ORACLE_BASE/admin under the

<DBNAME>/bdump subdirectory. The DBA can override this logging

location by setting the log parameter in the MxDB-Oracle-HiAv

configuration file. For example:

$ cat $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/mxdbha_PROD.conf

log /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/log

SQL*Net Security with Virtual Oracle Services

The Solution Pack implements listener security. By default, the listener

password is taken from the following file in the product installation

directory: /opt/polyserve/mxdb_oracle_ha/lib/lsnr_passwd_def.txt. The DBA

can override this default by assigning a legal value to the lsnr_password

parameter in the MxDB-Oracle-HiAv configuration file.
