RAC 11g useful commands

Some useful RAC 11G commands are documented below.

 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)

START SEQUENCE

COMMAND                                      DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/init.d/init.crs start                   START CRS PROCESS (AS ROOT USER)
srvctl start asm -n NODE1                    START ASM INSTANCE on node 1
srvctl start asm -n NODE2                    START ASM INSTANCE on node 2
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)
srvctl start instance -d ORCL -i ORCL2       START second INSTANCE (skip it if running 'start database', as taht will start both instances)
srvctl start nodeapps -n NODE1               START NODEAPPS on NODE1
srvctl start nodeapps -n NODE2               START NODEAPPS ON NODE2
