Attributes of the CSSD agent

Table: Attributes for CSSD resource lists the attributes of the CSSD agent:

Table: Attributes for CSSD resource

Attribute Name

Dimension

Description

Critical

Boolean

Optional

A Boolean value 0 or 1.

1: Indicates that the resource is critical.

0: Indicates that the resource is non-critical.

RestartDaemons

Boolean

Note:

This attribute is supported on Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 and later versions.

Optional

A Boolean value 0 or 1.

The default value is set to 1.

1: Indicates that the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure processes cssd, crsd, and evmd are restarted if the status of these processes is unhealthy.

0: Indicates that the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure processes cssd, crsd, and evmd are not restarted if the status of these processes is unhealthy.

IntentionalOffline

Boolean

Defines how VCS responds when Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure is intentionally stopped outside of VCS control.

If you stop Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure outside of VCS control, the agent behavior is as follows:

  • 0 - The CSSD agent registers a fault and initiates the failover of the service group.

  • 1 - The CSSD agent takes the CSSD resource offline.

CRSHOME

string-scalar

Optional

The agent uses this information to locate clusterware process binaries.

If the value is not provided, the agent reads the information from the Oracle configuration file.

IMF

integer-association

Optional

Resource-type level attribute that determines whether the CSSD agent must perform intelligent resource monitoring. You can also override the value of this attribute at resource-level.

By default, IMF monitoring is enabled with a monitoring value of 3. To disable monitoring, set the value to 0.
