Additional SRVCTL Topics

You can use SRVCTL to manage Oracle-supplied resources, but Oracle strongly advises you to follow the guidelines provided here.

• Use SRVCTL to manage Oracle-supplied resources such as listener, instances, disk groups, and networks, and CRSCTL for managing Oracle Clusterware and its resources.

  Caution:

  Oracle strongly discourages you from using CRSCTL to directly
  manipulate Oracle-supplied resources (resources whose names begin with ora). Making manual changes to Oracle resources using
  CRSCTL can adversely affect the cluster configuration.

• Although you may be able to cancel running SRVCTL commands by pressing the Control-C keys, Oracle strongly advises that you do not attempt to do this, because you can corrupt your configuration data by doing this.

  Do not to attempt to terminate SRVCTL in this manner.
