How to stop and start RAC DB?

Post date: 22-May-2009 08:18:18

There can be many ways to start and stop RAC DB or Instances.

1.    SRVCTL

        srvctl start database -d rdb

        Here rdb is the name of the RAC database running on 2 cluster nodes as rdb1 on RC1 and rdb2 on RC2. The above command would start both cluster instances (rdb1 and rdb2) on their respective cluster             nodes (rc1 and rc2)

OR

        srvctl start instance -d rdb -i rdb1

        srvctl start instance -d rdb -i rdb2

        Here both the cluster instnaces running on rc1 and rc2 are started one by one or parallely from two sessions using srvctl.

2.    Manually using sqlplus

        You all know how to start instances manually.
