Oracle instance startup or stop failed.
[Case 1] (Standby Operation, Scalable Operation with Oracle9i RAC)
Oracle instance startup or stop fails when the PRIMECLUSTER RMS resource settings are invalid.
Check the resource setup information by executing the “clorainfo -c” command. See “4.6 clorainfo - Display Resource Configuration and Monitoring Status”.
Oracle user
OracleSID
Scripts (e.g. PreOnlineScript)
A correct path must be set.
The script must have execution permission.
The script must behave correctly.
If your setup information is incorrect, set proper values again. See “Chapter 2 Environment setup”.
[Case 2] (Standby Operation, Scalable Operation with Oracle9i RAC)
Oracle instance startup or stop fails when user script settings in /opt/FJSVclora/usr are incorrect (standby operation or scalable operation with Oracle9i RAC only).
Check if the user scripts behave correctly.
[Case 3] (Standby Operation, Scalable Operation with Oracle9i RAC)
Oracle instance startup or stop fails when Oracle settings are invalid.
Check the Oracle alert log, so you might be able to detect the cause of the failure.
Also, check if Oracle can be started or stopped properly. If you discontinue Oracle instance resource monitoring, you can operate Oracle manually. See “3.2.4.1 Oracle must be stopped”.
[Case 4] (Scalable Operation with Oracle RAC 10g or later)
When starting userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances resource in the state where Oracle Clusterware is not running, the resource state enters Wait until exceeds the time set as ScriptTimeout (refer to step “9” of “2.3.5 userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances and Listeners” or step “10” of “2.4.5 userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances and Listeners”). If it exceeds the time set as ScriptTimeout with the resource state maintain Wait, the resource state will enter Faulted.
Execute the following methods according to each pattern.
In the case of configuration that the Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC instance are registered in different userApplication. (It matches “Configuration A” in “2.3.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration” or “Configuration A” in “2.4.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration”.)
At first, check whether Oracle Clusterware is running.
The following command execution, you can check whether Oracle Clusterware is running.
# su - <Oracle user> $ crs_stat
In the environment of Oracle RAC 11g R2, execute crsctl status resource command with Grid user.
When the following message is outputted, Oracle Clusterware may be not running.
CRS-0184: Cannot communicate with the CRS daemon.
When Oracle Clusterware is not running, there is a possibility that the setting that Oracle Clusterware starts earlier than Oracle RAC Instance is incorrect.
Check whether the script which starts Oracle Clusterware resource is set as the PreOnlineScript of Oracle RAC Instance (refer to “note” of step “9” of “2.3.5 userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances and Listeners” or “10” of “2.4.5 userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances and Listeners”).
In the case of configuration that the Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC instance are registered in the same userApplication. (It matches “Configuration B” in “2.3.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration” or “Configuration B” in “2.4.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration”.)
There is a possibility that starting of Oracle RAC Instance resource is failed.
Check whether you have no mistakes in setting of Oracle RAC Instance resource (“2.3.5 userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances and Listeners” or “2.4.5 userApplication with Oracle RAC Instances and Listeners”).
In addition, check whether you have no mistakes in setting of PRIMECLUSTER RMS and Oracle (refer to “Case 1” and “Case 3”).
In the case of configuration that the Oracle Clusterware is not registered. (It matches “Configuration C” in “2.3.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration” or “Configuration C” in “2.4.3 userApplication and Resource Configuration”.)
Check whether Oracle Clusterware is running.
The following command execution, you can check whether Oracle Clusterware is running.
# su - <Oracle user> $ crs_stat
In the environment of Oracle RAC 11g R2, execute crsctl status resource command with Grid user.
When the following messages are outputted, Oracle Clusterware may be not running.
CRS-0184: Cannot communicate with the CRS daemon.
Clear Faulted state of the resource, after that, execute the following commands and start Oracle Clusterware.
# /etc/init.d/init.crs start
In the environment of Oracle RAC 11g R2, execute crsctl start crs command with Grid user.
After that, start userApplication.
