SUNW.oracle_rac_server Extension Properties

Auto_End_Bkp (Boolean)

Specifies whether the Oracle RAC server resource automatically recovers the database if an Oracle relational database management system (RDBMS) hot backup is interrupted. When a hot backup is interrupted, the database fails to open because of files that remain in hot backup mode. During the startup of the Oracle RAC server resource, the resource tests for the interruption of a hot backup by testing for an occurrence of the following RDBMS error:

ORA-01113 file file needs media recovery

To recover the database automatically, the Oracle RAC server resource performs the following actions:

• Releasing all files that remain in hot backup mode. The sys.v$backup view indicates which files remain in hot backup mode.

• Opening the database for use.

The permitted values for this property are as follows:

• False – Specifies that the Oracle RAC server resource does not automatically recover the database. If a hot backup is interrupted, you must recover the database manually. In this situation, the status of the Oracle RAC server resource is set to FAULTED. The default value of this property is False.

• True – Specifies that the Oracle RAC server resource automatically recovers the database.

Default: False

Range: Not applicable

Tunable: Any time

Debug_level (integer)

The level to which debug messages from the Oracle RAC server component are logged. When the debug level is increased, more debug messages are written to the log files.

Default: 1, which logs syslog messages

Range: 0 – 100

Tunable: Any time

Oracle_Home (string)

The path to the Oracle home directory. The Oracle home directory contains the binary files, log files, and parameter files for the Oracle software.

Default: No default defined

Tunable: When disabled

Oracle_Sid (string)

The Oracle system identifier. This identifier is the name of the Oracle database instance.

Default: No default defined

Range: Not applicable

Tunable: When disabled

Parameter_file (string)

The Oracle parameter file, which starts the database. If this property is not set, it defaults to NULL. When this property is NULL, the default Oracle mechanism is used to locate the parameter file.

Default: NULL

Range: Not applicable

Tunable: Any time

User_env (string)

The name of the file that contains the environment variables to be set before database startup or shutdown. All environment variables that have values that differ from Oracle defaults must be defined in this file.

For example, a user's listener.ora file might not reside under the /var/opt/oracle directory or the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. In this situation, the TNS_ADMIN environment variable should be defined.

The definition of each environment variable that is defined must follow the format variable-name=value. Each definition must start on a new line in the environment file.

Default: NULL

Range: Not applicable

Tunable: Any time

Wait_for_online (Boolean)

Specifies whether the START method of the Oracle RAC server resource waits for the database to be online before the START method exits. The permitted values for this property are as follows:

• True – Specifies that the START method of the Oracle RAC server resource waits for the database to be online before the START method exits. The default value of this property is True.

• False – Specifies that the START method runs the commands to start the database but does not wait for the database to come online before the START method exits.

Default: True

Range: Not applicable

Tunable: Any time
