Chapter 2: Operations 42

The mxdb Command Line Interface

In addition to the -c option, which invokes the GUI, the mxdb command

can be used for operations. The command is invoked as follows:

$ /opt/polyserve/mxdb_oracle_ha/bin/mxdb

The mxdb command includes options that enable Database

Administrators to perform the same operations that are available in the

MxDB-Oracle-HiAv GUI. The following table describes the command

arguments.

Option Procedure

-d <DBNAME> This argument is required. It specifies the Virtual

Oracle Service on which the command should be

performed.

-h <$ORACLE_HOME> Override the ORACLE_HOME environment

variable.

-Q Query Service Status.

-O Online service. Start a service monitor on the

primary server.

-S Stop service. Shut down an Oracle database.

-R Remove the Virtual Oracle Service from the system.

-M [start|stop] Maintenance Mode.

-a ʺIP:IP:IPʺ Add servers to a Virtual Oracle Service. The option

is a list of quoted, colon-delimited IP addresses.

-m ʺIP:IP:IP:IPʺ Modify Virtual Oracle Service. The option is a

quoted list of IP addresses that represent the

Primary, 1st Backup, 2nd Backup, and so on.

-C Clear events raised on a Virtual Oracle Service.

Should a node crash, Matrix Server will raise

events so that the DBA can take action before

returning the Virtual Oracle Service to the failed

node.
