Hi,
I have 2 node 11gR2 RAC running on AIX 6.1, after I shutdown the database and restart crs using crsctl start crs, ASM instance comes back up but not the database and I had to start the database using srvctl, isn't that the database should come up when I start the crs? can someone clarify?
Thanks

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/311

>can someone clarify?
Computers/OS are dumb & only do what instructed to do.
If you did not include DB startup script, then DB does not automagically start

you report the DB does not start & I believe you.

post excerpt from script that show the DB is supposed to start (& fails to start)

Perhaps the database isn't registered in the CRS for automatic start? Check this with
srvctl config database -d whatever
and set this with
srvctl modify database -d whatever -y automatic
or possibly, if the nodes are busy, the automatic startup of the instances can fail because of timing issues.

(ps - anyone know why the switch is "-y"? Actually, a whole lot of the switches in srvctl are bizarre)
