Hi
Shouldn't grid and oracle database start automatically after server boot..?
At least some of my servers it actually does start up on its own (grid and database).
At the moment, when I boot one or all of my rac server(s) (2 node rac), then crs won't start automatically.
[root@etmasterdb1 ~]# /oracle/11.2/gridInfra/bin/crsctl check crs
CRS-4639: Could not contact Oracle High Availability Services
But when I start crs, with command:
[root@etmasterdb1 ~]# /oracle/11.2/gridInfra/bin/crsctl start crs
CRS-4123: Oracle High Availability Services has been started.
Then it starts +ASM and listener etc, but it won't start database. Have to manually login with sqlplus and start it up on both nodes.
So far, I have registered database and asm with srvctl, added /etc/oratab +ASM and database entries.
[root@etmasterdb1 ~]# cat /etc/oratab
+ASM1:/oracle/11.2/gridInfra:N
etmaster:/oracle/11.2/db:N
Now I know you may say that change N -> Y, but have already tried this, no luck. In my opinion this feature should not work anymore at all, correct me if I am wrong..
Besides my other servers that start grid and db up beautifully after boot, there is always :N
Looking for a correct way to achieve this, I mean there has to be a way that oracle itself automatically starts it all up (at least some of my servers it does this, but I don't know why or how, because these servers were set up before I started working as dba).
This https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/automating-database-startup-and-shutdown-on-linux cannot be the only way as in creating startup and shutdown scripts to achive this, am I right..?
Oracle grid and db 11.2
Kind regards
