Startup and Shutdown of Oracle Database On Linux

This document aims to demonstrate automatic startup and shutdown of oracle databases on Linux. The information in this document is useful for system administrators and database administrators trying to automate oracle database startup and shutdown. The configuration is done to allow oracle database be up and running in runlevels 3 (character mode) and 5 (X-Window system).

This document aims to demonstrate automatic startup and shutdown of Oracle databases on Linux.

SCOPE & APPLICATION ------------------The information in this document is useful for system administrators and database administrators trying to automate Oracle database startup and shutdown. The document describes the detailed steps for configuration on Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1, SuSE SLES7 and United Linux 1.0 (SuSE SLES8 Edition). The information may not apply to other Linux distributions. The following configuration is done to allow Oracle database be up and running in runlevels 3 (character mode) and 5 (X-Window system). Since the configuration is based on dbstart and dbshut scripts provided by the Oracle Server installation, please see [NOTE:207508.1]. The configuration also facilitates automated startup shutdown of Intelligent Agent, Management Server and HTTP Server, which are available with Oracle Server. The information in this document does not apply to Oracle Internet Application Server. Still the script can be configured to handle starting up and shutting down iAS processes.

Configuring Linux for Automated Startup/Shutdown of Oracle Database -------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Update 'oratab' (under /etc or /var/opt/oracle) as: <SID>:<ORACLE_HOME>:Y where Y states that the database can be started up and shutdown using dbstart/dbshut. 2. Create the service script: /etc/init.d/dbora Note: In Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1, the /etc/init.d is is a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/init.d Content of the script is as follows: #!/bin/bash # # chkconfig: 35 99 10 # description: Starts and stops Oracle processes # # Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME # from which you wish to execute dbstart and dbshut; # # Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the # Oracle database in ORA_HOME. # ORA_HOME=<Type your ORACLE_HOME in full path here> ORA_OWNER=<Type your Oracle account name here> case "$1" in 'start') # Start the Oracle databases: # The following command assumes that the oracle login # will not prompt the user for any values su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart # Start the TNS Listener su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start" # Start the Intelligent Agent if [ -f $ORA_HOME/bin/agentctl ]; then su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/agentctl start" else su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl dbsnmp_start" fi # Start Management Server if [ -f $ORA_HOME/bin/oemctl ]; then su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/oemctl start oms" fi # Start HTTP Server if [ -f $ORA_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl ]; then su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start" fi touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora ;; 'stop')

# Stop HTTP Server if [ -f $ORA_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl ]; then su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop" fi # Stop the Intelligent Agent if [ -f $ORA_HOME/bin/agentctl ]; then su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/agentctl stop" else su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl dbsnmp_stop" fi # Stop the TNS Listener su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop" # Stop the Oracle databases: # The following command assumes that the oracle login # will not prompt the user for any values su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dbora ;; esac # End of script dbora NOTE 1: The lines: # chkconfig: 35 99 10 # description: Starts and stops Oracle database are mandatory since they describe the characteristics of the service where: 35 means that will be stopped in 99 means that level processing 10 means that level processing the service will be started in init levels 3 and 5 and other levels. the service will be started at the near end of the init

the service will be stopped at the near end of the init

NOTE 2: The Management Server is not shut down during service stop since it requires interaction and there is no harm in system killing the processes since the database is shut down already.

3. Set script permissions: chmod 755 /etc/init.d/dbora

3. Register the Service /sbin/chkconfig --add dbora

This action registers the service to the Linux service mechanism. On SuSE SLES7 and Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 it will arrange symbolic links under rc<runlevel>.d directories to /etc/init.d/dbora script. On SuSE SLES7 the following symbolic links are created: /etc/init.d/rc0.d/K10dbora /etc/init.d/rc1.d/K10dbora /etc/init.d/rc2.d/K10dbora /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S99dbora /etc/init.d/rc4.d/K10dbora /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S99dbora /etc/init.d/rc6.d/K10dbora

On Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 the following symbolic links are created: /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K10dbora /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K10dbora /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K10dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/K10dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K10dbora

The symbolic links are not created in United Linux 1.0 (SuSE SLES8 Edition) with the 'chkconfig -add' command. To have the symbolic links created run the following in addition: /sbin/chkconfig --set dbora 35 After this action, the following symbolic links will be created pointing to /etc/init.d/dbora script: /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S01dbora /etc/init.d/rc3.d/K22dbora /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S01dbora /etc/init.d/rc5.d/K22dbora

In all cases, the 'dbora' service will be running in runlevels 3,5 and it will be stopped in other runlevels (i.e. 0,1,2,4,6).
