specified, then Oracle toolkit makes
use of PFILE as the parameter file.
To make use of SPFILE, in the
toolkit do not configure this
parameter, and remove the default
PFILE from its default location.
This is the list of all the critical
Oracle processes for an instance
MONITOR_PROCESSES
• ora_pmon_${SID_NAME}
• ora_dbw0_${SID_NAME}
that must be executing to assume
that the instance is up and running.
• ora_ckpt_${SID_NAME}
You can add more instance
processes.
• ora_smon_${SID_NAME}
• ora_lgwr_${SID_NAME}
• ora_reco_${SID_NAME}
yesThe Maintenance flag is used to
bring this toolkit into maintenance
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
mode. If set to yes then it enables
maintenance feature in the toolkit.
HP Serviceguard toolkit for Oracle
looks out for the oracle.debug
file in the Oracle package directory
where all the HP Serviceguard toolkit
for Oracle files reside.
If the file exists and if maintenance
feature is enabled, then monitoring
is paused, the ASM or the database
instance might be brought down for
maintenance, and package does not
fail over to the adoptive node even
though the instance is not running.
After the maintenance work, ensure
that the instance is running. Then
delete the oracle.debug file in
the package directory. This enables
the toolkit to continue monitoring the
database server application or the
ASM instance.
NOTE: If the Maintenance flag is
set to no, then the maintenance
feature is not available which means
the toolkit cannot be brought into
maintenance mode.
30The time interval, in seconds, this
script waits between checks to
MONITOR_INTERVAL
ensure that Oracle instance is
running. The default value is 30
seconds.
30The time period, in seconds, this
toolkit waits for a completion of a
TIME_OUT
normal shutdown before initiating
forceful halt of the application.
The TIME_OUT variable is used to
protect against a worst case
scenario where a hung database or
ASM instance prevents the halt script
from completing, therefore
preventing the standby node from
starting the instance.
