PURPOSE Overview Database
Server/Client Installation
The 11gR2 Clusterware has undergone numerous changes since the previous release. For information on the previous release(s), and Upgrade/Migration
see Note: 259301.1 "CRS and 10g Real Application Clusters". This document is intended to go over the 11.2 Clusterware which [1351022.2]
has some similarities and some differences from the previous version(s).

11gR2 Clusterware Key Facts Clusterware Node
Evictions (Reboots)
11gR2 Clusterware is required to be up and running prior to installing a 11gR2 Real Application Clusters database. [1050693.1]
The GRID home consists of the Oracle Clusterware and ASM. ASM should not be in a separate home.
Troubleshooting 11.2 Grid
The 11gR2 Clusterware can be installed in "Standalone" mode for ASM and/or "Oracle Restart" single node support. This

Issues [1053970.1]
The 11gR2 Clusterware can be run by itself or on top of vendor clusterware. See the certification matrix for certified
combinations. Ref: Note: 184875.1 "How To Check The Certification Matrix for Real Application Clusters" CTSSD Runs in Observer

The voting file is backed up into the OCR at every configuration change and can be restored via crsctl. How To Check The
The 11gR2 Clusterware requires at least one private network for inter-node communication and at least one public Certification Matrix for
network for external communication. Several virtual IPs need to be registered with DNS. This includes the node VIPs Real Application Clusters
(one per node), SCAN VIPs (three). This can be done manually via your network administrator or optionally you could [184875.1]
configure the "GNS" (Grid Naming Service) in the Oracle clusterware to handle this for you (note that GNS requires its Show More
own VIP).
A SCAN (Single Client Access Name) is provided to clients to connect to. For more information on SCAN see Note:

Name (SCAN) Explained
On Unix, the clusterware stack is started via the init.ohasd script referenced in /etc/inittab with "respawn".
[887522.1]
A node can be evicted (rebooted) if a node is deemed to be unhealthy. This is done so that the health of the entire
cluster can be maintained. For more information on this see: Note: 1050693.1 "Troubleshooting 11.2 Clusterware Node CVE-2014-3566 -

The clusterware stack can be started by either booting the machine, running "crsctl start crs" to start the clusterware How to Reload the JVM
stack, or by running "crsctl start cluster" to start the clusterware on all nodes. Note that crsctl is in the in 11.2.0.x [1112983.1]
<GRID_HOME>/bin directory. Note that "crsctl start cluster" will only work if ohasd is running. How to Reload the JVM
The clusterware stack can be stopped by either shutting down the machine, running "crsctl stop crs" to stop the in 11.1.0.x [457279.1]

Clusterware Startup Sequence
The following is the Clusterware startup sequence (image from the "Oracle Clusterware Administration and Deployment Guide):
Don't let this picture scare you too much. You aren't responsible for managing all of these processes, that is the Clusterware's
job!
Short summary of the startup sequence: INIT spawns init.ohasd (with respawn) which in turn starts the OHASD process (Oracle
High Availability Services Daemon). This daemon spawns 4 processes.
Level 1: OHASD Spawns:
cssdagent - Agent responsible for spawning CSSD.

orarootagent - Agent responsible for managing all root owned ohasd resources.
oraagent - Agent responsible for managing all oracle owned ohasd resources.
cssdmonitor - Monitors CSSD and node health (along wth the cssdagent).
Level 2: OHASD rootagent spawns:
CRSD - Primary daemon responsible for managing cluster resources.

CTSSD - Cluster Time Synchronization Services Daemon
Diskmon
ACFS (ASM Cluster File System) Drivers
Level 2: OHASD oraagent spawns:
MDNSD - Used for DNS lookup

GIPCD - Used for inter-process and inter-node communication
GPNPD - Grid Plug & Play Profile Daemon
EVMD - Event Monitor Daemon
ASM - Resource for monitoring ASM instances
Level 3: CRSD spawns:
orarootagent - Agent responsible for managing all root owned crsd resources.
oraagent - Agent responsible for managing all oracle owned crsd resources.
2 of 9 05/01/15 5:39 PM
Level 4: CRSD rootagent spawns:
Network resource - To monitor the public network

SCAN VIP(s) - Single Client Access Name Virtual IPs
Node VIPs - One per node
ACFS Registery - For mounting ASM Cluster File System
GNS VIP (optional) - VIP for GNS
Level 4: CRSD oraagent spawns:
ASM Resouce - ASM Instance(s) resource

Diskgroup - Used for managing/monitoring ASM diskgroups.
DB Resource - Used for monitoring and managing the DB and instances
SCAN Listener - Listener for single client access name, listening on SCAN VIP
Listener - Node listener listening on the Node VIP
Services - Used for monitoring and managing services
ONS - Oracle Notification Service
eONS - Enhanced Oracle Notification Service
GSD - For 9i backward compatibility
GNS (optional) - Grid Naming Service - Performs name resolution

configuration assistants like ASMCA, etc...
ASM logs live under $ORACLE_BASE/diag/asm/+asm/<ASM Instance Name>/trace
The diagcollection.pl script under <GRID_HOME>/bin can be used to automatically collect important files for support. Run this
as the root user.

Clusterware Resource Administration
Srvctl and crsctl are used to manage clusterware resources. The general rule is to use srvctl for whatever resource management
you can. Crsctl should only be used for things that you cannot do with srvctl (like start the cluster). Both have a help feature to
see the available syntax.

Note that the following only shows the available srvctl syntax. For additional explanation on what these commands do, see
the Oracle Documentation.
