The ORCL.oracle_external_proxy resource type interrogates the Oracle Database or the Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) services and interprets the availability of those services as an Oracle Solaris Cluster resource state or status in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration.
If the Oracle Database or the Oracle RAC services are unavailable, the Oracle Solaris Cluster resource state will be offline. Similarly, if the Oracle Database or the Oracle RAC services are available, the Oracle Solaris Cluster resource state will be online. Additionally, appropriate Oracle Solaris Cluster status messages will also be displayed.
For example:
# clrs status oep-rs
=== Cluster Resources ===
Resource Name Node Name State Status Message
------------- --------- ----- --------------
oep-rs oephost1 Online Online - Service orcl is UP
oephost2 Online Online - Service orcl is UPFurthermore, if the Oracle Database and the Oracle RAC services are unavailable, the Oracle Solaris Cluster resource status message will also display the ORA error number and some part of the error message, if known.
For example:
# clrs status oep-rs
=== Cluster Resources ===
Resource Name Node Name State Status Message
------------- --------- ----- --------------
oep-rs oephost1 Offline Offline - Service orcl is DOWN /
[ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently ...]
oephost2 Offline Offline - Service orcl is DOWN /
[ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently ?]
