BugId 4644289

Problem Summary: On Solaris 9, the Sun Cluster HA for Oracle data service's stop method can time out, in case of public network failure, if external name services are not available. The Sun Cluster HA for Oracle data service uses the su(1M) user command to start and stop the database.

Workaround: On each node that can be a primary for the oracle_server or oracle_listener resource, modify the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to include the following entries for passwd, group, publickey and project databases.

passwd:       files
group:        files
publickey:    files
project:      files

These modifications ensure that the su(1M) command does not refer to the NIS/NIS+ name services, and ensures that the data service starts and stops correctly in case of network failure.
