Correcting our RAC Services UNKNOWN / OFFLINE problem


I was having some trouble while running my RAC on RHEL4 (I think the problem primarily arose because I supplied my virtual machines with inadequate memory. 

When I noticed that I was getting some alerts , I looked at the status of my RAC.

oracle@hpora01 ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/bin
[oracle@hpora01 bin]$ crs_stat -t
Name           Type           Target    State     Host
------------------------------------------------------------
ora.crmrac.db application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora02
ora....c1.inst application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora01
ora....c2.inst application    OFFLINE   UNKNOWN   hpora02
ora....serv.cs application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora02
ora....ac1.srv application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora01
ora....ac2.srv application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora....SM1.asm application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora01
ora....H4.lsnr application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora01
ora....rh4.gsd application    ONLINE    UNKNOWN  hpora01
ora....rh4.ons application    ONLINE    UNKNOWN  hpora01
ora....rh4.vip application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora01
ora....SM2.asm application    OFFLINE   UNKNOWN  hpora02
ora....H4.lsnr application    OFFLINE   UNKNOWN  hpora02
ora....rh4.gsd application    ONLINE    UNKNOWN  hpora02
ora....rh4.ons application    OFFLINE   UNKNOWN  hpora02
ora....rh4.vip application    ONLINE    ONLINE    hpora02


As you can see above, some of the applications are UNKNOWN or OFFLINE, either of which is not good for my RAC.
The crs_stat command gives you the names of the applications, which you might need to shut down some applications manually, in order to shut the whole cluster down and restart it.

[oracle@hpora01 bin]$ crs_stat
NAME=ora.crmrac.db
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on hpora02

I could have also attempted to stop them all using crs_stop –all, but it normally throws enough errors to force you do it manually one by one.

For the very same reason we will go ahead and do it our way. Therefore, we need to stop our instances first.

[oracle@hpora01 bin]$ srvctl stop instance -d crmrac -i crmrac1
[oracle@hpora01 bin]$ srvctl stop instance -d crmrac -i crmrac2
Check our status

Conclusion:-

This article has discussed how the CRS commands can be used to fix/troubleshoot the quirkiness of our RAC.
