• Startup method of Oracle Clusterware

  There are two methods of starting up Oracle Clusterware as follows. For details, refer to “2.3.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration”. (Recommended operation is 1.)

  1. Registering Oracle Clusterware in a PRIMECLUSTER RMS resource and starting along with userApplication startup.

  2. Automatic starting along with OS startup without registering Oracle Clusterware in a PRIMECLUSTER RMS resource.
