Startup method of Oracle Clusterware
In operation of Oracle RAC 10g R2/11g R1, 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.)
Registering Oracle Clusterware in a PRIMECLUSTER RMS resource and starting along with userApplication startup.
Automatic starting along with OS startup without registering Oracle Clusterware in a PRIMECLUSTER RMS resource.
Note
If you choose 2., be aware that Oracle Clusterware accesses a shared disk device as soon as it is activated. A volume on the shared disk must be active when the Oracle Clusterware is activated.
