Automatic Oracle Startup and Shutdown for Linux
Automatic Oracle Startup and Shutdown for Linux
Step 1. Login as root
Step 2. vi /etc/oratab/
#*:/home/oracle/ora01:N
ORCL:/home/oracle/ora01:Y (NàY)
Step 3. ls $ORACLE_HOME/dbs #check initORACLE_SID.ora file
(If there is not the file, you must copy it from $ORACLE_HOME/admin/oracle/pfile/
The file name maybe like initORACLE_SID.ora%, so when you copy it, you must rename it.)
Step 4. cp $ORACLE_HOME/admin/oracle/pfile/ initORACLE_SID.ora%
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs
Step 5. mv initORACLE_SID.ora% initORACLE_SID.ora
Step 6. Vi $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart|dbshut
conn / as sysdba à conn sys/PWD as sysdba
(There is an error that I can not resolve it, so I change the dbstart and dbshut script
conn / as sysdba
ERROR: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges)
Step 7. Create the following file as /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle:
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle
# Description: Starts and stops the Oracle database and listeners
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting Oracle Databases: "
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
date +"! %T %a %D : Starting Oracle Databases as part of system up." >> /var/log/oracle
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
su - oracle -c dbstart >> /var/log/oracle
echo "Done."
echo -n "Starting Oracle Listeners: "
su - oracle -c "lsnrctl start" >> /var/log/oracle
echo "Done."
echo ""
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
date +"! %T %a %D : Finished." >> /var/log/oracle
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting Down Oracle Listeners: "
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
date +"! %T %a %D : Shutting Down Oracle Databases as part of system down." >> /var/log/oracle
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
su - oracle -c "lsnrctl stop" >> /var/log/oracle
echo "Done."
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/oracle
echo -n "Shutting Down Oracle Databases: "
su - oracle -c dbshut >> /var/log/oracle
echo "Done."
echo ""
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
date +"! %T %a %D : Finished." >> /var/log/oracle
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
;;
restart)
echo -n "Restarting Oracle Databases: "
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
date +"! %T %a %D : Restarting Oracle Databases as part of system up." >> /var/log/oracle
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
su - oracle -c dbstop >> /var/log/oracle
su - oracle -c dbstart >> /var/log/oracle
echo "Done."
echo -n "Restarting Oracle Listeners: "
su - oracle -c "lsnrctl stop" >> /var/log/oracle
su - oracle -c "lsnrctl start" >> /var/log/oracle
echo "Done."
echo ""
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
date +"! %T %a %D : Finished." >> /var/log/oracle
echo "----------------------------------------------------" >> /var/log/oracle
touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle

*)
echo "Usage: oracle {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
Step 8. The following commands will ensure that the databases will come up in runlevels 2,3 and 4:
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99oracle
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99oracle
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S99oracle
To stop the databases on reboot or restart we need the following links:
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01oracle # Halting
$ ln -s ../init.d/oracle /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K01oracle # Rebooting
Step 8. su – oracle
dbstart
(check whether it works)
Step 9. reboot
