Startup method of Oracle Clusterware
In operation of Oracle RAC 11g R2, there are two methods of starting up Oracle Clusterware as follows. For details, refer to “2.4.3 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.
