Hello!
I am having trouble shutting down a database cleanly when using Oracle restart (11.2.0.4) and RHEL 7.
The issue seems to be that the ASM (which is the storage mechanism for my database) shuts down before the database.
This causes a hard crash of the database.
I'm used to the databases going down easier using multi-node Grid, however, with just a single node, it doesn't seem to be handling the order of the shutdown as well.
I've tried implementing an explicit shutdown script by placing a link from my script in the /etc/init.d directory to the /etc/rc0.d directory. However, this didn't work.
I would like to simply shutdown my server and have the databases go down cleanly, like they do on my multi-node clusters,without having to explicitly shutting them down first.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
