Proper way to shutdown RAC
638051Nov 5 2009 — edited Nov 9 2009We are running Oracle RAC database 10.2g in Windows 2003 (two nodes). We try to perform a shutdown of one computer using the following
srvctl stop instance -d instdb -i instdb1
crs_ctl stop crs
shutdown the window
After the window has been shutdown, we found that node 2 become hang. Seems that it perform the eviction. Until we start the server again, when it nearly to the window screen, node 2 alive again.
What is the proper way to shutdown (not restart) a node ?
Besides, after we issue crs_ctl stop crs, how could we failover the vip to node 2 ?
