Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE Startup on boot
YES! Generally, if a production machine is recycled it's either a scheduled
event or a catastophe. In either case the DBA should be in the picture. Why
spend time automating something that shouldn't happen that often? Especially
if it could just create more problems? How hard is it to execute an
"automated" start up script to bring up the database, listeners, apps, etc?
With a little training and documentation of procedures, even sysadmins can
do it!

Subject: RE Startup on boot
Hi all,
We never start our production Oracle in the boot scripts.
What happens if the machine crashes and Oracle needs recovery? What happens if you were taking online backups, the machine crashes and Oracle needs recovery? If you are running parallel server and both (or more) nodes are brought up at the same time (inexperienced sysadmin) you will run into contention problems as the instances will fight over who is the master. We have automated start scripts and I feel it is part of the job to take calls at 3 AM to do starts. Also , the sysadmins I trust have been shown how to start oracle. (NOT how to STOP oracle). The answer to all of the What happens is you have created trouble for your sysadmin, yourself and your clients. And I only work 35 hours a week. I am paid for what I know, and to pass that knowledge onto others (So I don't have to take calls at 3 AM :)
