RAC 11g Useful Commands

STOP SEQUENCE

COMMAND                                   DESCRIPTION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

srvctl stop database -d ORCL              STOP DATABASE 

srvctl stop instance -d ORCL -i ORCL1     STOP first INSTANCE (skip it if running 'stop database' as that will stop both instances)

srvctl stop instance -d ORCL -i ORCL2     STOP second INSTANCE (skip it if running 'stop database' as that will stop both instances)

srvctl stop asm -n NODE1                  STOP ASM INSTANCES on NODE 1 (In 11G , we have OCR on ASM so we cannot stop ASM, but if you have OCR in NON-ASM you should stop it)

srvctl stop asm -n NODE2                  STOP ASM INSTANCES on NODE 2 (In 11G , we have OCR on ASM so we cannot stop ASM, but if you have OCR in NON-ASM you should stop it)

srvctl stop nodeapps -n NODE1             STOP NODEAPPS  on NODE 1

srvctl stop nodeapps -n NODE2             STOP NODEAPPS  on NODE 2

/etc/init.d/init.crs stop                 STOP CRS PROCESSES (AS ROOT USER)

srvctl start database -d ORCL                START DATABASE
srvctl start instance -d ORCL -i ORCL1       START first INSTANCE (skip it if running 'start database' as that will start both instances)
