5.3 About Oracle Restart

Oracle Restart enhances the availability of Oracle databases in a single-instance environment. Using the Server Control (SRVCTL) utility, you can add components such as the listener to an Oracle Restart configuration. The configuration enables the listener to start automatically when the listener fails or is not running.

When using Oracle Restart, note the following:

  • Use the SRVCTL utility to start and stop the listener. Do not use the listener control utility LSNRCTL.

  • Each listener must have a unique name.
