Starting the Recovery Appliance Software

1. Log in as root to a Recovery Appliance compute server.

2. Confirm that Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS) is running:

   	# $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl status server
   	  NAME=radb07
   	  STATE=ONLINE
   	
   	  NAME=radb08
   	  STATE=ONLINE

3. If CRS is not running, then start it:

   # $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start cluster -all
   CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.evmd' on 'radb07'
   CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.cssdmonitor' on 'radb07'
   CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.cssdmonitor' on 'radb08'
        .
        .
        .
   #

4. Switch to the oracle user.

5. Verify that Oracle Database is running:

   $ srvctl status database -d zdlra5
   Instance zdlra51 is not running on node radb07
   Instance zdlra52 is not running on node radb08

6. If Oracle Database is not running:

   1. Start Oracle Database:

      $ srvctl start database -d zdlra5

   2. Confirm that Oracle Database is running:

      $ srvctl status database -d zdlra5
      Instance zdlra51 is running on node radb07
      Instance zdlra52 is running on node radb08

7. If Oracle Secure Backup is enabled, then start it:

   # $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start res osbadmin

8. Connect to Oracle Database as the RASYS user:

   $ sqlplus rasys

9. Check the status of Recovery Appliance services:

   SQL> SELECT state FROM ra_server;
    
   STATE
   ------------
   OFF

10. If the services are off, then start them:

    SQL> exec dbms_ra.startup;

11. Confirm that the services are started:

    SQL> /
     
    STATE
    ------------
    ON

12. Enable the keystore as part of appliance startup. This is required step to open the HSM wallet for copy to cloud encryption. After appliance restart, run:

    [root@myhost ~]# racli enable keystore
    [root@myhost ~]# racli status keystore
           Node: zdlra42
    Wallet Type: HSM
         Status: Open
           Node: zdlra41
    Wallet Type: HSM
         Status: Open
