Hi,
I have few queries w.r.t srvctl drain_timeout / force parameters
1 As per the documentation "Drain timeout is the maximum time the service waits before exiting (in case of srvctl stop service or srvctl stop instance) or proceeding to stop database (srvctl stop database), until the draining of sessions is completed. If session draining completes in 10 seconds and the drain timeout value (on CLI or resource attribute) is 100 seconds, then SRVCTL moves on after 10 seconds. It does not wait for the remaining 90 seconds."
2) what exactly is meant by "resource draining "
3 ) AS per the docuemntation for -force option " you can use this parameter to stop the database, its instances, its services, and any resources that depend on those services."
4 ) As per my understanding the, the drain_timeout parameter allows to complete the resource draining action before stopping an instance. However anyone please explain what happens if within the given timeframe the service doesn’t get relocated?
5) What is the exact difference in -force and drain_timeout command.
6) Can both -force and draint_timeout option be used together.
7) Is there any alternate to drain_timeout parameter in the version 11.2,12.1,12.2.
