Maintenance Mode

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

When a database is under MxDB-Oracle-HiAv control, all Net Services

access is through the virtual host as established in the listener.ora and

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

access through the virtual host 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.
