RAC Startup and Shutdown Steps

The RAC database running on my laptop has two nodes RAC1 and RAC2.
The instance names are brij1 and brij2.

The binary files to start-stop (srvctl, crsctl) can be located under $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin directory

SHUTDOWN PROCESS
@@@@@@@@@@@

First take down your database

1) STOP DATABASE ON ALL NODES
==============================
$ ./srvctl stop database -d brij

OR

1) STOP ALL INSTNACES
=======================
./srvctl stop instance -d brij -i brij1
./srvctl stop instance -d brij -i brij2

Second turn is of ASM instance.

2) Shut down all ASM instances on all nodes.
=========================================
./srvctl stop asm -n rac1
./srvctl stop asm -n rac2

Then you will shutdown all node applications

3) Stop all node applications on all nodes.
========================================
$ ./srvctl stop nodeapps -n rac1
$ ./srvctl stop nodeapps -n rac2

Verification >>>> Run ./crs_stat -t  and it should show ‘target’ and ‘state’ for  all components as “OFFLINE”

And the last step is …

4) Shut down the Oracle Clusterware or CRS process by entering the following command on all nodes as the root user
=======================================================
/etc/init.d/init.crs stop

STARTUP PROCESS
@@@@@@@@@@

1) Start up the Oracle Clusterware or CRS process by entering the following command on all nodes as the root user
=======================================================
/etc/init.d/init.crs start

2) Start all node applications on all nodes
===========================================
./srvctl start nodeapps -n rac1
./srvctl start nodeapps -n rac2

3) Start up all ASM instances on all nodes.
=========================================
./srvctl start asm -n rac1
./srvctl start asm -n rac2

4)  START ALL INSTNACES
=======================
./srvctl start instance -d brij -i brij1
./srvctl start instance -d brij -i brij2

OR

4) START DATABASE ON ALL NODES
==============================

$ ./srvctl start database -d brij
