CHAPTER 4

Using Oracle Restart

Oracle Restart Overview:

• Definition: Oracle Restart is the non-clustered version of Grid Infrastructure (GI) that
manages various Oracle resources.
• Functionality: Allows starting, stopping, and automatic restarting of resources in case of
failure.
• Configuration: Can be set to start automatically or manually.

Components of Oracle Restart:

• Service: A set of processes managed by the operating system, including those with
root/Administrator privileges and others running under the GI installation user.
• Resource Management: Resources are registered in the Oracle Local Registry (OLR)
and are under Oracle Restart's control.
o Registration: Implicitly done by some tools or explicitly required in other cases.
o Control: Resources can be managed through GI utilities or their native utilities.

High-Availability Feature:

• Event Monitoring: Detects state changes, propagates messages, and attempts automatic
restarts of failed resources.

Administering Oracle Restart:

• Automatic Start: Initiated on server boot.


o Linux: Managed by the init.ohasd daemon (via /etc/inittab file and rc
script).
o Windows: Managed by the OracleOHService Windows service, handling
ohasd.exe.

Manual Control Commands:

• Linux and Windows:


o crsctl config has: Checks if Oracle Restart is configured to start on boot-up.
o crsctl check has: Verifies if Oracle Restart is currently running.
o crsctl stop has: Stops the Oracle Restart process.
o crsctl start has: Starts the Oracle Restart process.
• Additional Commands for Linux:
o crsctl query softwareversion: Displays installed software version.
o crsctl config has: Checks if Oracle Restart is not configured to start on boot-
up.
o crsctl enable crs: Configures Oracle Restart to start on boot-up.
o crsctl disable crs: Disables Oracle Restart from starting on boot-up.

Administering Registered Resources:

• Registration Requirement: For Oracle Restart to provide high availability, resources


must be registered.
o Automatic Registration: Tools like DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant)
and Net Configuration Assistant register resources automatically.
o Manual Registration: Resources created with SQL*Plus or Net Manager require
manual registration.
o Post-GI Installation: Previously created resources need explicit registration if GI
was installed after them.
• Registration Tools:
o crsctl Utility: General-purpose tool with complex syntax for resource
registration.
§ Requirements: Need to specify how to start, stop, monitor, and handle
failures of the resource, and dependencies.
o srvctl Utility: Preferred tool for managing Oracle resources, offers simpler
commands.
§ Scope: Limited to Oracle resources (e.g., databases, listeners), not for
non-Oracle resources like Apache web listeners.
• srvctl Commands Syntax:
o srvctl <command> <object> <options>
• Common Commands:
o add | remove: Register or deregister a resource.
o enable | disable: Allow or disallow Oracle Restart to manage the resource.
o start | stop: Start or stop a registered and enabled resource.
o config: Show the configuration of the resource.
o modify: Adjust the configuration.
o status: Show whether the resource is started or stopped.
• Common Objects:
o database: Includes the instance that opens it.
o service: A database service.
o listener: A database listener.
o asm: Automatic Storage Management instance.
o diskgroup: An ASM disk group.
• Command Options:
o Vary based on command and object.
• Example Commands:
o Register Database:

srvctl add database -db orclz -oraclehome /u01/db_home1

o Show Configuration:

srvctl config database -db orclz -all


o Start Database:

srvctl start database -db orclz -startoption open

o Stop Database:

srvctl stop database -db orclz -stopoption immediate

o Check Status:

srvctl status database -db orclz

o Options for STARTOPTION: NOMOUNT, MOUNT, READONLY.


o Options for STOPOPTION: NORMAL, TRANSACTIONAL, ABORT.
• srvctl Utility Tips:
o Help Facility: Run srvctl -help for full syntax.
o Location: Installed in both database Oracle Home and GI Oracle Home.
• crsctl Utility:
o Available only in the GI Oracle Home.

Restart Capability:

• Monitoring and Restart: Oracle Restart monitors and restarts resources in case of
failure.
• Controlled Shutdown: Does not trigger an automatic restart if the shutdown is
controlled.
• Restart Policy: Configured with POLICY argument in SRVCTL ADD or SRVCTL MODIFY.
o Values: AUTOMATIC (default), MANUAL, NORESTART.

Exam Tips:

• srvctl Registration: Ensure database existence, not just registration in OLR.
