Oracle Restart does not shutdown database
Dude!Jul 17 2012 — edited Jul 18 2012Hello,
I have 2 Oracle Linux 5.7 x86_64 systems with Oracle 11.2.0.1 installed under Virtualbox for testing.
System 1:
Installed Grid Infrastructure for a stand-alone system including ASM.
System 2:
Installed Grid Infrastructure Software only, followed by configuring it for a stand-alone system according to root.sh. I then added the listener and database manually as following:
su - oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
srvctl add database -d orcl -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
srvctl add listener -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
srvctl start listener
srvctl start database -d orcl
Problem:
Both systems automatically start the database instance at system restart. but System 2, unlike System 1, does not shutdown the Oracle database at system shutdown or restart. During the shutdown of System 1 I can see "Attempting to stop org.orc.db....", but there is nothing like that on System 2, although it has the same scripts inside /etc/rc0.d. It might be something with the Oracle Restart configuration, but what could be the issue?
Thanks.
