Automatic Oracle Startup and Shutdown for Linux

Automatic Oracle Startup and Shutdown for Linux
 
 
 
Step 1.  Login as root
Step 2.  vi /etc/oratab/
       #*:/home/oracle/ora01:N
ORCL:/home/oracle/ora01:Y      (NàY)
Step 3.  ls $ORACLE_HOME/dbs  #check initORACLE_SID.ora file
 (If there is not the file, you must copy it from $ORACLE_HOME/admin/oracle/pfile/
The file name maybe like initORACLE_SID.ora%, so when you copy it, you must rename it.)
Step 4.   cp $ORACLE_HOME/admin/oracle/pfile/ initORACLE_SID.ora%
         $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
Step 5.   mv initORACLE_SID.ora%  initORACLE_SID.ora
Step 6.  Vi $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart|dbshut
      conn / as sysdba à conn sys/PWD as sysdba
(There is an error that I can not resolve it, so I change the dbstart and dbshut script
conn / as sysdba
ERROR: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges)
Step 7.  Create the following file as  /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle :
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle
# Description: Starts and stops the Oracle database and listeners
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting Oracle Databases: "
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        date +"! %T %a %D : Starting Oracle Databases as part of system up." >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        su - oracle -c dbstart >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "Done."
        echo -n "Starting Oracle Listeners: "
        su - oracle -c "lsnrctl start" >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "Done."
        echo ""
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        date +"! %T %a %D : Finished." >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Shutting Down Oracle Listeners: "
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        date +"! %T %a %D : Shutting Down Oracle Databases as part of system down." >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        su - oracle -c "lsnrctl stop" >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "Done."
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        echo -n "Shutting Down Oracle Databases: "
        su - oracle -c dbshut >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "Done."
        echo ""
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        date +"! %T %a %D : Finished." >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        ;;
  restart)
        echo -n "Restarting Oracle Databases: "
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        date +"! %T %a %D : Restarting Oracle Databases as part of system up." >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        su - oracle -c dbstop >> /var/log/oracle
        su - oracle -c dbstart >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "Done."
        echo -n "Restarting Oracle Listeners: "
        su - oracle -c "lsnrctl stop" >> /var/log/oracle
        su - oracle -c "lsnrctl start" >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "Done."
        echo ""
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        date +"! %T %a %D : Finished." >> /var/log/oracle
        echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
        touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: oracle {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac
Step 8.  The following commands will ensure that the databases will come up in runlevels 2,3 and 4:
 
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99oracle
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99oracle
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S99oracle
 
To stop the databases on reboot or restart we need the following links:
 
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01oracle          # Halting
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K01oracle          # Rebooting
 
  Step 8.  su – oracle
 
 
        dbstart
 
  (check whether it works)
 
Step 9.  reboot
