Goal

The goal of this document is to explain steps may necessary to remove/add user resource from/to OCR in 11gR2.

Solution

A resource should be in OFFLINE state before it can be removed:

1. To stop, try the following sequentially until the resource is stopped successfully:

$RESOURCE_HOME/bin/srvctl stop resource_type <options>
$RESOURCE_HOME/bin/srvctl stop resource_type <options> -f




$RESOURCE_HOME refers to location where the resource is running off, for example, vip in $GRID_HOME, 11.2 .db in 11.2 RDBMS home, and 11.1 .db in 11.1 RDBMS home etc.

Resource_name is the name in "crsctl stat res" output.

For srvctl syntax, please refer to Server Control Utility Reference

2. To remove: once the resource is stopped, try the following sequentially until resource is removed successfully:

$RESOURCE_HOME/bin/srvctl remove resource_type <options>
$RESOURCE_HOME/bin/srvctl remove resource_type <options> -f

3. To add:

$RESOURCE_HOME/bin/srvctl add resource_type <options>

4. To get help on srvctl syntax:

$RESOURCE_HOME/bin/srvctl <command> <object> -h
