NAME

6       ocf_heartbeat_oracle - Manages an Oracle Database instance
7

SYNOPSIS

9       oracle [start | stop | status | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Resource script for oracle. Manages an Oracle Database instance as an
13       HA resource.
14

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

16       sid
17           The Oracle SID (aka ORACLE_SID).
18
19           (unique, required, string, no default)
20
21       home
22           The Oracle home directory (aka ORACLE_HOME). If not specified, then
23           the SID along with its home should be listed in /etc/oratab.
24
25           (optional, string, no default)
26
27       user
28           The Oracle owner (aka ORACLE_OWNER). If not specified, then it is
29           set to the owner of file $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/*${ORACLE_SID}.ora. If
30           this does not work for you, just set it explicitely.
31
32           (optional, string, no default)
33
34       monuser
35           Monitoring user name. Every connection as sysdba is logged in an
36           audit log. This can result in a large number of new files created.
37           A new user is created (if it doesn't exist) in the start action and
38           subsequently used in monitor. It should have very limited rights.
39           Make sure that the password for this user does not expire.
40
41           (optional, string, default "OCFMON")
42
43       monpassword
44           Password for the monitoring user. Make sure that the password for
45           this user does not expire. Need to explicitly set a password to a
46           new monitor user for the security reason.
47
48           (optional, string, default "OCFMON")
49
50       monprofile
51           Profile used by the monitoring user. If the profile does not exist,
52           it will be created with a non-expiring password.
53
54           (optional, string, default "OCFMONPROFILE")
55
56       ipcrm
57           Sometimes IPC objects (shared memory segments and semaphores)
58           belonging to an Oracle instance might be left behind which prevents
59           the instance from starting. It is not easy to figure out which
60           shared segments belong to which instance, in particular when more
61           instances are running as same user.
62
63           What we use here is the "oradebug" feature and its "ipc" trace
64           utility. It is not optimal to parse the debugging information, but
65           I am not aware of any other way to find out about the IPC
66           information. In case the format or wording of the trace report
67           changes, parsing might fail. There are some precautions, however,
68           to prevent stepping on other peoples toes. There is also a
69           dumpinstipc option which will make us print the IPC objects which
70           belong to the instance. Use it to see if we parse the trace file
71           correctly.
72
73           Three settings are possible:
74
75           - none: don't mess with IPC and hope for the best (beware: you'll
76           probably be out of luck, sooner or later)
77
78           - instance: try to figure out the IPC stuff which belongs to the
79           instance and remove only those (default; should be safe)
80
81           - orauser: remove all IPC belonging to the user which runs the
82           instance (don't use this if you run more than one instance as same
83           user or if other apps running as this user use IPC)
84
85           The default setting "instance" should be safe to use, but in that
86           case we cannot guarantee that the instance will start. In case IPC
87           objects were already left around, because, for instance, someone
88           mercilessly killing Oracle processes, there is no way any more to
89           find out which IPC objects should be removed. In that case, human
90           intervention is necessary, and probably _all_ instances running as
91           same user will have to be stopped. The third setting, "orauser",
92           guarantees IPC objects removal, but it does that based only on IPC
93           objects ownership, so you should use that only if every instance
94           runs as separate user.
95
96           Please report any problems. Suggestions/fixes welcome.
97
98           (optional, string, default "instance")
99
100       clear_backupmode
101           The clear of the backup mode of ORACLE.
102
103           (optional, boolean, default false)
104
105       shutdown_method
106           How to stop Oracle is a matter of taste it seems. The default
107           method ("checkpoint/abort") is:
108
109           alter system checkpoint; shutdown abort;
110
111           This should be the fastest safe way bring the instance down. If you
112           find "shutdown abort" distasteful, set this attribute to
113           "immediate" in which case we will
114
115           shutdown immediate;
116
117           If you still think that there's even better way to shutdown an
118           Oracle instance we are willing to listen.
119
120           (optional, string, default "checkpoint/abort")
