Auto start database

Hi,

I have wrote a auto startup database script which does work in Sun Solaris server before for Oracle 815. I am using the same script to auto start Oracle 815 on HP-UX and it doesn't work!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ORA_HOME=/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
ORA_OWNER=oracle

echo "Test if dbstart exist"
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
else
echo "dbstart exist"
fi

echo "$1"

case "$1" in
'start')
........login as oracle and exe dbstart......... same codes as oracle manual

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

When I execute the script manually, echo $1 has no parameter, may i know where is this parameter being pass in during the reboot of server? I have manually execute dbstart and it works too.... what could be the problem for this script?

I have soft link the file from /sbin/init.d to /sbin/rc2.d already.

Thanks!

Check system init paths are same for Solaris and HP. Iam not sure.

I wish to test, sorry ! I do have all boxes except HP box. Someone try and give you feed back atleast on their test box.

make sure that the oratab files are set correctly "Y" and then, if I could recall, I think there should be two softlinks, check the installation manual.

make sure that you have used the double quotes in the argument

su -$ORA_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart" &

Good luck,

You may have to call your script with "start" or "stop" option.

Usually the Startup/Shutdown of the machine calls the script with these options.

Hi,

I have done all that have been mentioned, but it still doesn't work for HP-UX. I think it might be a bug. Thanks!

Hi Mooks,

Can you tell me what is in /etc/oratab?
