Maintenance Mode

Maintenance Mode is an important state of the Virtual Oracle Service.

Once a database has been placed under Solution Pack control, all Net

Services access is through the VHOST as established in the listener.ora and

tnsnames.ora files. When a Virtual Oracle Service is in the Stopped state,

access through the VHOST is disabled. After all, it is a Virtual Oracle

Service with no service. Following is an example of the PROD database

service in the Stopped state, as well as a failed ping(2) command.
