haltpoint delete

Removes one or more halt points. Before removing halt points, contact Oracle Customer Support for instructions. In order to allow the Oracle FS System to boot properly, all halt points must be removed after system diagnosis or recovery is completed.

SYNOPSIS

haltpoint ‑delete 
   { ‑all
   | ‑haltpoint componentName:haltPointStep [, componentName:haltPointStep]...
   }

   [{‑sessionKey | ‑u admin‑user ‑oracleFS oracle‑fs‑system}]
   [{‑outputformat | ‑o} { text | xml }]
   [{‑timeout timeout‑in‑seconds | ‑verify | ‑usage | ‑example | ‑help}] 

DESCRIPTION

Your Oracle Customer Support representative might require that you remove specific halt points. Removing one or more halt points takes effect the next time that you restart Oracle FS System. If you remove the halt point at which the system is currently paused, run the haltpoint ‑resume command to continue the system restarting operations that are currently in progress. The system will resume the start up process until it reaches the next active halt point or completes the start up.

When specifying the component name and halt point step, be sure to specify the exact combination that your Oracle Customer Support representative had requested. If your representative requests that you remove a sequence of halt points in a specific order, either specify the component name and halt point step for each halt point in a comma separated list or issue separate delete commands. Run the haltpoint ‑list ‑active command to list of active haltpoints.

Note: Only administrators with primary administrator or the Oracle support role are authorized to run the haltpoint delete command.

OPTIONS

all

Removes all of the active halt points that are in effect on the Oracle FS System. To return the system to normal operation, after all diagnostic and or recovery has been completed, run the haltpoint ‑delete ‑all command. This option may be used even when there are no active halt points. Run the haltpoint ‑list ‑active command to verify that all halt points have been removed.

haltpoint
Specifies one or more system components to which the halt point is deleted. Use the component names that your Oracle Customer Support representative specifies. Halt points are defined using a comma-separated list of the following sets of elements:
  • The name of the software component that is associated with the system halt point

  • A colon ( : ) as a separator

  • A start up phase or step

GLOBAL OPTIONS FOR SUBCOMMANDS

The following global options can be used for fscli command-subcommand pairs that do not include other command-line options:
help

Returns the context-sensitive help for the specified subcommand.

usage

Returns the subcommand syntax for the given command, including all of the options that are available for the command-subcommand pair.

GLOBAL OPTIONS FOR COMMANDS

The following global options can be used for fully formed fscli commands:

example
Returns sample output from the specified command.
Note: To see the output in XML format, include the ‑o xml option.
timeout timeout-in-seconds
Specifies the length of time (timeout-in-seconds) that the command line interface waits before another command is allowed to run. If the command takes longer to run than the specified time limit, the system continues processing the command, but the command prompt is made available so that you can issue another command. If the -timeout option is omitted, the command line interface blocks until the one of the following conditions is met:
  • The command completes successfully.

  • The command returns with an error.

  • The session times out.

Note: Be sure to check the state of the system after initiating a long running command with the ‑timeout option. Many fscli commands run a series of underlying commands in sequence. When the timeout value is reached before all of the underlying commands have completed, the fscli command does not complete with the outstanding tasks reporting a failure status.
outputformat | ‑o { text | xml }
Controls the type of the output the system returns from a command. If the ‑outputformat option is not included, the format of the output defaults to simple text. If xml is provided, the output is a collection of XML elements.
Note: For XML output, if internal errors occur during command execution, each error is included in a separate <ErrorList> tag.
verify

Inspects the validity of the command syntax, not the semantics. Used to test the structure of a command without running the command. Does not determine whether errors would be produced if you issue a structurally correct command with the input provided.

sessionkey

Directs the CLI to prompt you to supply a session key when you issue the command. The CLI displays Sessionkey: as the prompt. To obtain a session key, log in with the ‑returnKey option specified. After the session is established, the session key is displayed in STDOUT. If you request a session key, the ‑sessionkey option is required syntax for all commands that are issued in a given session. In environments with more than one Oracle FS System, the session key is used to determine to which Oracle FS System to direct the command for validation. Session keys are also used to establish two or more CLI sessions when using a shared administrator account.

u admin-useroracleFS oracle‑fs-system
Routes the command to a particular Oracle FS System for execution. This option passes the name of the administrator account to use when opening the session on the specified system. Identify a specific Oracle FS System by its IP address or by the name that is recorded in the domain name system (DNS). When logging in to the Oracle FS System using the ‑u option and the ‑oracleFS option, the fscli application prompts you for a password on the command line interface for access. The Oracle FS System and the account login information are used to authenticate the current session. Establishing a login session by specifying an Oracle FS System and an account does not change the credentials that are associated with the active sessions that are running on other clients.
Caution
Oracle recommends that you not use the Cygwin command line interface to run the fscli application on Windows platforms. If you are running the Cygwin interface and include the ‑u option as a part of the ‑list subcommand, the password for the specified account is included in the results. Exposing the password can cause a breach in security.

EXAMPLE

Task
After completing all diagnostic and/or recovery procedures as instructed by Oracle Customer Support, delete all active halt points to return the system to normal operation, so it can be shut down and restarted normally.
Note: First, check to see if the system has active halt points, and whether the system is paused at any of those active halt points. If the system is paused at any halt point, you must run the haltpoint ‑resume command after deleting all halt points.
Parameters
  • None

$ fscli haltpoint ‑list ‑active
$ fscli haltpoint ‑delete ‑all
$ fscli haltpoint ‑resume
Run the haltpoint ‑resume only if the system was paused on any halt point in the list of active halt points.
