Do not use lsnrctl and sqlplus as SYSDBA in RAC

In later releases of Oracle RAC, the traditional DBA control tools for managing RAC databases have been deprecated, and all commands should use the svrctl utility.

lsnrctl:  Oracle 10g and beyond have deprecated the lsnrctl command utility, and all listener start and stop commands are done via svrctl.

sqlplus:  We no longer use SQL*Plus as SYSDBA to bounce a RAC node, in favor of the svrctl utility.
For complete details on managing RAC with the svrctl commands, see the book Oracle Grid & Real Application Clusters.

Here are the new syntax differences to start and stop a RAC node instance:

/*+ starting a RAC node instance & listener: 



root> export ORACLE_SID=orcl1

root> srvctl start nodeapps -n linux1

root> srvctl start asm -n linux1

root> srvctl start instance -d orcldb -i orclnode

root> srvctl start mylistwener

root> emctl start dbconsole 

Or do it all in one command:

root>  svrctl start database -d orcldb 



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



/*+ shutdown a RAC node instance & listener: 



root> export ORACLE_SID=orcl1

root> emctl stop dbconsole

root> srvctl stop instance -d orcldb -i orclnode immediate

root> srvctl stop asm -n linux1

root> srvctl stop nodeapps -n linux1

root> srvctl stop mylistener -I 2

Or do it all in one command:

 

root>  svrctl stop database -d orcldb
