Good points.We have had very few unexpected outages thus far but, with hurricane season fast approaching, I have been rethinking my practices.
Thanks all --dwayne Sais, Gene wrote:
I wrote my own startup scripts that start the databases in background so as not to affect the server from coming up. Also, I do a few sanity checks like verifying the filesystems exist before starting. It is nice to sleep when the Unix Admin needs to reboot the box :). -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dwayne Cox Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 8:38 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: To autostart database or not?We are running a few Oracle9i and 10g databases on RHEL and I have always opted NOT to have the databases automatically restart when the server goes down due to something unexpected. My thinking was that if the server crashed, then I want to be there to bring up the databases toassess and repair any damage (yes, I am the only production DBA).Am I being overly controlling? Looking for other opinions and thoughts on the matter.Thanks
