Re: RAC

Jeremy
 
Thanks for the quich update. I was reading one of the Oracle Cookbook for RAC 
written by IBM/Oracle team for AIX and they mentioned to not to change the 
dbname with Instance Name. We are not using other scripts like dbstart etc in 
RAC to stop or start the db. Ofcourse oraenv is one script that can be used 
especially if it has more Database instances and Oracle Home. This is the 
reason I am confused on the setting as why the bok recommend to use dbname 
instead of instance name. Dbca has added dbname instead of instance name.

TIA
Sanjay

instance name ~ I can't think of any reason you'd use dbname.  oratab is used 
by oraenv, dbstart and dbshut.  it's also often used by shell scripts or to 
quickly check what ORACLE_HOME's are installed.  (although the inventory can do 
this too, slightly better.)

Hi 
 
I had a query concerning oratab. Do we need to have dbname or instance name in 
it and what is the benefit of using one over the other. I know that if I want 
to use oraenv, i need to make it insance name. What are the drawback of 
changing the default dbname to instance name.
 
TIA
Sanjay
