SRVCTL Command Reference

This section provides details about the syntax and options for all SRVCTL commands.

SRVCTL Command Syntax and Options Overview

SRVCTL expects the following command syntax:

srvctl command object options

where:

Note:

On the Windows platform, when specifying a comma-delimited list, you must enclose the list within double-quotes ("...,..."). You must also use double-quotes on the UNIX and Linux platforms if any list member contains shell metacharacters.

Case Sensitivity SRVCTL commands and components are case insensitive. Options are case sensitive. Database and database service names are case insensitive and case preserving.

add

The srvctl add command adds the specified component to the Oracle Restart configuration, and optionally sets Oracle Restart configuration parameters for the component. After a component is added, Oracle Restart begins to manage it, restarting it when required.

To perform srvctl add operations, you must be logged in to the database host computer with the proper user account. See "Preparing to Run SRVCTL" for more information.

Table 4-9 srvctl add Summary

Command Description

srvctl add asm

Adds an Oracle ASM instance.

srvctl add database

Adds a database.

srvctl add eons

Adds an eONS (used by Oracle Enterprise Manager).

srvctl add listener

Adds a listener.

srvctl add ons

Adds an ONS (used by Oracle Data Guard configurations with Oracle Data Guard Broker).

srvctl add service

Adds a database service managed by Oracle Restart.


Note:

There is no srvctl add command for Oracle ASM disk groups. Disk groups are automatically added to the Oracle Restart configuration when they are first mounted. If you remove a disk group from the Oracle Restart configuration and later want to add it back, connect to the Oracle ASM instance with SQL*Plus and use an ALTER DISKGROUP ... MOUNT command.

srvctl add asm

Adds an Oracle ASM instance to the Oracle Restart configuration.

Syntax and Options

Use the srvctl add asm command with the following syntax:

srvctl add asm [-l listener_name [-p spfile] [-d asm_diskstring]]

Table 4-10 srvctl add asm Options

Option Description
-l listener_name

Name of the listener with which Oracle ASM should register. A weak dependency is established with this listener. (Before starting the Oracle ASM instance, Oracle Restart attempts to start the listener. If the listener does not start, the Oracle ASM instance is still started. If the listener later fails, Oracle Restart does not restart Oracle ASM.)

If omitted, defaults to the listener named listener.

-p spfile

The full path of the server parameter file for the database. If omitted, the default SPFILE is used.

-d asm_diskstring

Oracle ASM disk group discovery string. An Oracle ASM discovery string is a comma-delimited list of strings that limits the set of disks that an Oracle ASM instance discovers. The discovery strings can include wildcard characters. Only disks that match one of the strings are discovered.



Example

An example of this command is:

srvctl add asm -l crmlistener

See Also:

Oracle Database Storage Administrator's Guide for more information about Oracle ASM disk group discovery strings

srvctl add database

Adds a database to the Oracle Restart configuration.

After adding a database to the Oracle Restart configuration, if the database then accesses data in an Oracle ASM disk group, a dependency between the database that disk group is created. Oracle Restart then ensures that the disk group is mounted before attempting to start the database.

However, if the database and Oracle ASM instance are not running when you add the database to the Oracle Restart configuration, you must manually establish the dependency between the database and its disk groups by specifying the -a option in the SRVCTL command. See the example later in this section.

Syntax and Options

Use the srvctl add database command with the following syntax:

srvctl add database -d db_unique_name -o oracle_home [-m domain_name] 
  [-n db_name] [-p spfile] [-s start_options] [-t stop_options]
  [-r {PRIMARY | PHYSICAL_STANDBY | LOGICAL_STANDBY | SNAPSHOT_STANDBY}]
  [-y {automatic | manual}] [-a disk_group_list]

Table 4-11 srvctl add database Options

Syntax Description
-d db_unique_name

Unique name for the database. Must match the DB_UNIQUE_NAME initialization parameter setting. If DB_UNIQUE_NAME is unspecified, then this option must match the DB_NAME initialization parameter setting. The default setting for DB_UNIQUE_NAME uses the setting for DB_NAME.

-o Oracle_home

The full path of Oracle home for the database.

-m domain_name

The domain for the database. Must match the DB_DOMAIN initialization parameter

-n db_name

If provided, must match the DB_NAME initialization parameter setting. You must include this option if DB_NAME is different from the unique name given by the -d option

-p spfile

The full path of the server parameter file for the database. If omitted, the default SPFILE is used.

-s start_options

Startup options for the database (OPEN, MOUNT, or NOMOUNT). If omitted, defaults to OPEN.

-t stop_options

Shutdown options for the database (NORMAL, IMMEDIATE, TRANSACTIONAL, or ABORT). If omitted, defaults to IMMEDIATE.

-r {PRIMARY | PHYSICAL_STANDBY | LOGICAL_STANDBY | SNAPSHOT_STANDBY}

The current role of the database (PRIMARY, PHYSICAL_STANDBY, SNAPSHOT_STANDBY, or LOGICAL_STANDBY). Applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only.

-y {AUTOMATIC | MANUAL}

Management policy for the database. If AUTOMATIC (the default), the database is automatically restored to its previous running condition (started or stopped) upon restart of the database host computer. If MANUAL, the database is never automatically restarted upon restart of the database host computer. A MANUAL setting does not prevent Oracle Restart from monitoring the database while it is running and restarting it if a failure occurs.

-a disk_group_list

List of disk groups upon which the database is dependent. When starting the database, Oracle Restart first ensures that these disk groups are mounted. This option is required only if the database instance and the Oracle ASM instance are not started when adding the database. Otherwise, the dependency is recorded automatically between the database and its disk groups.



Examples

This example adds the database with the DB_UNIQUE_NAME dbcrm:

srvctl add database -d dbcrm -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

This example adds the same database and also establishes a dependency between the database and the disk groups DATA and RECOVERY.

srvctl add database -d dbcrm -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
  -a "DATA,RECOVERY"

srvctl add eons

Adds an eONS to an Oracle Restart configuration.

The eONS is used by Oracle Enterprise Manager to receive notification of change in status of components managed by Oracle Restart.

Syntax and Options

Use the srvctl add eons command with the following syntax:

srvctl add eons [-p portnum] [-m multicast_ip_address] [-e eons_listen_port] [-v]

Table 4-12 srvctl add eons Options

Option Description
-p portnum

The port number for eONS

-m multicast_ip_address

The multicast IP address for eONS

-e eons_listen_port

Local listen port for eONS. The default port number is 2016.

-v

Verbose output



srvctl add listener

Adds a listener to the Oracle Restart configuration.

Syntax and Options

Use the srvctl add listener command with the following syntax:

srvctl add listener [-l listener_name] [-p endpoints] [-s] [-o Oracle_home]

Table 4-13 srvctl add listener Options

Option Description
-l listener_name

Listener name. If omitted, defaults to LISTENER

-p endpoints

Comma separated TCP ports or listener endpoints. If omitted, defaults to TCP:1521. endpoints syntax is:

"[TCP:]port[, ...] [/IPC:key] [/NMP:pipe_name] [/TCPS:s_port] [/SDP:port]"
-s

Skip checking for port conflicts with the supplied endpoints

-o Oracle_home

Oracle home for the listener. If omitted, the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home is assumed.



Example

The following command adds a listener (named LISTENER) running out of the database Oracle home and listening on TCP port 1522:

srvctl add listener -p TCP:1522 -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

srvctl add ons

Adds an ONS to an Oracle Restart configuration.

ONS must be added to an Oracle Restart configuration to enable the sending of Fast Application Notification (FAN) events after an Oracle Data Guard failover.

Syntax and Options

Use the srvctl add ons command with the following syntax:

srvctl add ons [-l ons_local_port]  [-r ons_remote_port] [-t host[:port],[host[:port]...]] [-v]

Table 4-14 srvctl add ons Options

Option Description
-l ons_local_port

ONS listening port for local client connections. The default is 6100.

-r ons_remote_port

ONS listening port for connections from remote hosts. The default is 6200.

-t host[:port],[host[:port],...

A list of host:port pairs of remote hosts that are part of the ONS network

Note: If port is not specified for a remote host, then ons_remote_port is used.

-v

Verbose output



srvctl add service

Adds a database service to the Oracle Restart configuration. Creates the database service if it does not exist. This method of creating a service is preferred over using the DBMS_SERVICE PL/SQL package.

Syntax and Options

Use the srvctl add service command with the following syntax:

srvctl add service -d db_unique_name -s service_name
  [-l [PRIMARY][,PHYSICAL_STANDBY][,LOGICAL_STANDBY][,SNAPSHOT_STANDBY]]
  [-y {AUTOMATIC | MANUAL}] [-e {NONE | SESSION | SELECT}] [-m {NONE | BASIC}]
  [-w integer] [-z integer] [-j {SHORT | LONG}]
  [-B {SERVICE_TIME | THROUGHPUT | NONE}] [-q {TRUE | FALSE}]

Table 4-15 srvctl add service Options

Option Description
-d db_unique_name

Unique name for the database. Must match the DB_UNIQUE_NAME initialization parameter setting. If DB_UNIQUE_NAME is unspecified, then this option must match the DB_NAME initialization parameter setting. The default setting for DB_UNIQUE_NAME uses the setting for DB_NAME.

-s service_name

The database service name

-l [PRIMARY][,PHYSICAL_STANDBY][,LOGICAL_STANDBY][,SNAPSHOT_STANDBY]

A list of service roles. Applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only. When this option is present, upon database startup, the service is started only when one of its service roles matches the current database role.

-y {AUTOMATIC | MANUAL}

Management policy for the service. If AUTOMATIC (the default), the service is automatically started upon restart of the database, either by a planned restart (with SRVCTL) or after a failure. Automatic restart is also subject to the service role, however (the -l option). If MANUAL, the service is never automatically restarted upon planned restart of the database (with SRVCTL). A MANUAL setting does not prevent Oracle Restart from monitoring the service when it is running and restarting it if a failure occurs.

-e {NONE |SESSION | SELECT}

Failover type. For standalone servers, applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only.

-m {NONE | BASIC}

Failover method. For standalone servers, applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only.

-w integer

Failover delay. For standalone servers, applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only.

-z integer

Failover retries. For standalone servers, applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only.

-j {SHORT | LONG}

Connection load balancing goal

-B {SERVICE_TIME | THROUGHPUT | NONE}

Runtime load balancing goal

-q {TRUE | FALSE}

Send Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) HA notifications. For standalone servers, applicable in Oracle Data Guard environments only.



Example

This example adds the sales service for the database with DB_UNIQUE_NAME dbcrm. The service is started only when dbcrm is in PRIMARY mode.
