Hello RAC people,

 

RAC 10.1.0.3

Tru64 5.1

TruCluster and CRS

 

We have a 4 node 10.1.03 RAC cluster on Tru64 5.1b with CRS and
TruCluster. During the last (and the only one after the CRS
installation) CRS shutdown (not reboot), listener on 2 nodes came back
up automatically and not on the other 2. The order of shutting down CRS
was:

NODE NAME:   Time                 Order
Node1               3:48pm             1
Node2               3:54pm             2
Node3               4:00:01pm         3
Node4               4:00:17pm         4

Listener on node3 and node4 came back up at 4:00:36pm and 4:00:41pm
respectively. 
I always thought that the expected behavior is when you shutdown CRS, it
will bring down all the services/instances/listeners registered and will
not restart automatically "before you start CRS". If I am correct, why
the listeners on node3 and node4 did come back up and if I am wrong, why
the listeners on node1 and node2 didn't come up fine.

 

I looked at the following files, but couldn't find anything too
relevant:
CRS_HOME/crs/log/*
CRS_HOME/crs/crs/log/*
CRS_HOME/crs/crs/init/*
CRS_HOME/crs/crs/public/*
CRS_HOME/crs/css/log/*
CRS_HOME/crs/css/init/*
CRS_HOME/crs/evm/log/*
CRS_HOME/crs/evm/init/*
CRS_HOME/crs/srvm/log/*
CRS_HOME/crs/srvm/init/*
CRS_HOME/crs/racg/dump/*
$OH/racg/dump/*
$OH/network/log/<listener_name>.log

The only thing that I found unusual in crs logs was:

 

Node1.log (similar in Node2.log):

 

`ora.node1.ons` ran out of restarts on `node1`

`ora.node1.ons` failed on `node1`, relocating.

Cannot relocate `ora.node1.ons`.  Stopping dependents

 

Node3.log (similar in Node4.log): No entry like above!!

 

Any ideas? Is "ONS" (and running ONSCA) "mandatory" and not "optional"?
BTW, ONSCA did finish successfully at the time of installation.

 

TIA,

-Amit.
