There is an oracleas script I sent to linux-cluster awhile back which is probably a good starting point for build a resource agent to start/stop Oracle. It is untested on RHCS4, but was tested with an Oracle "Cold Failover Cluster" installation on RHEL 2.1 and RHCS3 in some way: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/hi_av/10g_904_HA_Certification.html See here for some older RHCS3 documentation, which mostly still applies to RHCS4: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/cluster-suite/ch-db-service.html#S1-SERVICE-ORACLE Oracle has extensive documentation (I had it in my hand at one point some time ago ;) ) on how to install Oracle software in a cold failover cluster environment. The main trick is to mount all the file systems and bring up the expected service IP address *before* running the Oracle installer. Also, make sure the Oracle user's home directory is not on a shared file system. You can install the Oracle software on shared storage if you want to, or you can install it on each node individually. However, the tables/data/undo/etc. must be on shared storage which is accessible by all nodes. After that, craft the service, which would look something like: <service name="oracle" ...> <fs name="oracle_data" mountpoint="/oradata" .../> <fs name="oracle_home" mountpoint="/orahome" .../> <fs name="oracle_undo" mountpoint="/oraundo" .../> <ip address="192.168.1.2" .../> <script name="oracle" path="/home/oracle/oracle" .../> </service> Good luck! -- Lon -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
