Oracle agent functions
The Oracle agent monitors the database processes.
Table: Oracle agent functions lists the Oracle agent functions.
Table: Oracle agent functions
Agent operation | Description |
---|---|
Online | Starts the Oracle database. The agent uses the default startup option STARTUP_FORCE. For RAC clusters, you must manually change the value of the StartUpOpt attribute to SRVCTLSTART. If you set the option to SRVCTLSTART, the agent uses the following srvctl command to start the Oracle database: srvctl start database -d database_name |
Offline | Stops the Oracle database. The agent uses the default shutdown option IMMEDIATE. For RAC clusters, you must manually change the value of the ShutDownOpt attribute to SRVCTLSTOP. If you set the option to SRVCTLSTOP, the agent uses the following srvctl command to stop the Oracle database: srvctl stop database -d database_name |
Monitor | Verifies the status of the Oracle processes. The Oracle agent provides two levels of monitoring: basic and detail. |
oracle_imf_init | Initializes the agent to interface with the AMF kernel driver, which is the IMF notification module for Oracle agent. This function runs when the agent starts up. |
oracle_imf_getnotification | Gets notification about resource state changes. This function runs after the agent initializes with the AMF kernel module. This function continuously waits for notification and takes action on the resource upon notification. |
oracle_imf_register | Registers or unregisters resource entities with the AMF kernel module. This function runs for each resource after the resource goes into steady state (online or offline). |
Clean | Forcibly stops the Oracle database. If you set the shutdown option to SRVCTLSTOP, the agent uses the following srvctl command: srvctl stop database -d database_name If the process does not respond to the srvctl command, then the agent does the following:
|
Info | Provides the static and dynamic information about the state of the database. Note: This attribute is not applicable PDB resources. |
Action | Performs the predefined actions on a resource. |
