Automatic shutdown of an database's instance

For some unknown reasons, an instance of our database was shutdown automatically almost every night. I have to run Oracle Enterprice Manager to re-open the instance.
I checked Windows Event Viewer but I could not find any info to determine which cause our database's instance shutting down. Our Oracle version: 9.2
Anyone know what would have caused an automatic shutdown of an database instance in Oracle?
Please help
Thanks

Thanks for all responses to my question.
I found the cause of automatic terminating database instance.
I looked into the Oracle trace log and I found the error 340: IO file lock by other process. Then I googled this error and found a related article. One of the oracle files was locked by Veritas File Backup Exec process to perform nightly backup.
Thanks

Automatically shutdown auxiliary after DUPLICATE complete

This is in regards to 10.2.0.4
I am refreshing a Test system with Production data using the DUPLICATE command. I've searched via Google but haven't hit the right search phrase to find the answer to my question. Once the RMAN DUPLICATE command finishes, I would like for RMAN to shutdown the auxiliary database (Test) as there are DBMS_SCHEDULER entries and table data that I want to remove/update before those scheduler items start running.
To kick off the DUPLICATE, I will be using the following command
rman target sys@Production nocatalog auxiliary / cmdfile ='rman_dup.rcv' log=rman_duplicate.log where rman_dup.rcv will look like run {
set until time "to_date('2011-05-11 14:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel a1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a2 device type disk;
duplicate target database to Test
NOFILENAMECHECK;
}I would do this as a script but the catch is I do not know the sys pasword for Production. The person who knows that will be typing it in at the appropriate time. (Long story, don't ask)
So is there a way for RMAN to shutdown the Test system and leave it down after the DUPLICATE is done but still also a user to type in the password for Production so that I don't have to sit there and stare and the screen and manually do the process as soon as I see that DUPLICATE is done?

You will be calling this RMAN from a shell.
So, you could put all of these in a shell script :
!/bin/sh
rman target sys@Production nocatalog auxiliary / cmdfile ='rman_dup.rcv' log=rman_duplicate.log
#the rman_dup.rcv completes and rman exits
# now set the "local" SID
ORACLE_SID=TEST;export ORACLE_SID
# connect to TEST without knowing the SYS password
# TEST can now be referenced as a "local" instance
sqlplus /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
EOF
#Hemant K Chitale
nb : Although I do agree that DUPLICATE doesn't make sense for duplicating production to test/development when you do not / should not have the production SYS password.
You should be creating TEST "as if" doing a D.R., using the Production backup copied over to the Test server.

How to automate "wallet open" operation in standby instance?

My database is 11.1.0.7 and 11.2.0.3 with TDE tablespace encryption, ASM db storage.
The wallet needs to be opened for MRP to work in physical standby database. I already have the solution for the primary instances to automate wallet open (e.g. using startup trigger for 11.1.0.7). However, I cannot find solution to automate wallet open operation in standby instances (to issue ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY ""').
Manual operation everytime standby instance is started is not feasible. Has anyone come across the solution for this?

You can create auto open wallet (open owm utility, go to File -> Open (to open your wallet in owm), then go to File -> Auto Login (check) then go to File -> Save). You can do this on primary and standby instance.
Now every time database is opened, wallet will be automatically opened too. You shouldn't use triggers.

Automatic shutdown/startup EBS DB script on R12.1??

Our EBS R12.1 system going to production soon. I wonder anyone have automatic shutdown/start database scripts (only DB, application on seperate server) which we can reference.
Thanks.

Hi ef;
We are using cold backup sh and sometimes we faced same thing as you mention. But i can tell you its not soo fruquently. How we notice this error? After cold backup we send email about cold backup logs. If we see error on log files (after apps side down(and wait 240 sec),then closind db)
we have this error in log:

Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Automatic Shutdown - IT DOES NOT WORK

:Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Automatic Shutdown - IT DOES NOT WORKVHello!
I do possess this MP3 Player (with integrated speakers) for more than 2 years now and have never been using the Automatic Shutdown function of the player (in the menu settings). Yesterday, I went to bed, wanted to listen to some music and tried out this function the first time, but it did not work. I tried it with 5, 0 and 30 minutes. What am I doing wrong or is this setting just a joke?
I am using the current software/firmware and am not a newbie to technical instruments so I do know how to - theoretically - start this function by going to setting - Automatic Shutdown - scrolling to the minutes I want to have - Enter/Confirm with the middle ball-knob at the front of the player.
Maybe some of you might help me, I would highly appreciate that.
Kind regards
Guyfromgermany

Hi JLM, am running .0.05e fine and in fact listening to it at the moment. Is there anyway you can regress back to .0.03 to test your theory? Testing a bunch of 28k CBR MP3s is an easy thing to try also.Message Edited by BlueRobin on 0-02-200802:49 PM

WebLogic Datasources : Automatically Shutdown and Start up

Hi there,
I have a problem with my datasources, I have WLST script which shutdown and start automatically some datasources in my environment, all of them in my crontab !
Follow exactly my script !
[weblogic@wls_server restartDS]$ cat shutdownDS1.py | more
connect('weblogic','password','t3://server:10000')
domainConfig()
servers = cmo.getServers()
domainRuntime()
for server in servers:
try:
print 'check ' + server.getName()
print '/ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA1'
cd('ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA1')
objectArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.Object)
stringArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.String)
invoke('shutdown', objectArray, stringArray)
except WLSTException,e:
print server.getName() + 'is not running.'
for server in servers:
try:
print 'check ' + server.getName()
print '/ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA2'
cd('ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA2')
objectArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.Object)
stringArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.String)
invoke('shutdown', objectArray, stringArray)
except WLSTException,e:
print server.getName() + 'is not running.'
exit()
Don´t worry, I have another script which kill XA3 and XA4 datasources as well, so, this way, I have load balancing here !
It works with CRONTAB !
The problem here is : Doesn´t matter if datasources are running or not, simply , datasources automatically shutdown and after that, start it! But I would like to improve this, I would like to implement datasource status condition, I mean, when datasource it become overloaded, it kill automatically , this way, I would not use crontab, but another kind of trigger |!
Did you see this before ?
I would like to improve this workaround !
Just keep in mind, me and my team, didn´t discover the root cause yet, so, this automatically datasource restart is a kind of workaround!
Thanks in advance !
Edson

Hmm. what was the problem app?
Force a shut down by holding the power button for an extended amount.
Reboot into SafeBoot mode to clear cache files, then reboot as normal.

We are trying automate shutdown VM listed in hyper -v using C# &WMI?

We are trying to automate shutdown VM listed in hyper-V using C# WMI? I think there is difference between VM shutdown and VM turnoff?I got the requeststate change value for turnoff(that is 3), what is the requeststate change value to shutdown VM?
Thanks in advance.
Venkatesh

"shut down" attempts to trigger a clean shutdown of the VM by using the Integration Components to signal the OS in the VM to cleanly shut down. If the ICs are not available or that times out, then the VM is Powered Off.
"turn off" simply hits the power switch of the VM. As if the power cord was pulled. This is a hard down state, and generally one we don't want to see.

ILOM on X4x00 - temperature monitoring snmp, automatic shutdown

Hello,
we run some X4100/X4200 servers. I want to monitor temperatures via ILOM's snmp interface. Unfortunately I get all kind of information with snmpwalk like sensor typ, hysteresis, unit, .... except the current sensor readings. Did anybody succeed in reporting temperatur sensor readings via snmp with ILOM ? We run ILOM firmware 1.0, build 6464.
Additionally I need to verify that some automatic shutdown happens once a system gets too hot. To test I would like to lower the temperature sensor threshold. How can I do this, how can I lower the temperature thresholds in ILOM?
Any help is greatly apreciated, with kind regards,
Heinrich

I'm trying to get thermal shutdowns to happen, too, for a cluster of X4100s managed with N1SM. I don't use SNMP, though. I've found that the ILOMs have good support for IPMI. e.g.
echo changeme > changeme
ipmitool -u root -f changeme -H 192.168.1.20 sensor list
I can set the sensor thresholds with ... sensor thresh fp.t_amb unr 33
Thresholds set this way don't stick across power-cycling the ILOM, so I'll probably set up a cron job to set them.
The machine does a hard shutdown a few seconds after a sensor exceeds it's non-recoverable threshold. It never seems to shut down or signal the OS with ACPI or anything when the critical or non-critical (warning) thresholds are exceeded. It does log it in the sensor log, and I think sends an IPMI alert, since N1SM configures the master machine as an alert target. (in the ILOM cli, show /SP/alerts, or something).
ipmitool(1m) says that the soft shutdown command is done by having ACPI signal the OS that there is a "fatal overtemperature". I had assumed that that was what N1SM used to soft-power-off machines, but it seems that ipmitool ... power soft doesn't actually do anything to Solaris 10u1 amd64. So that's what I need to fix, I guess. I could try booting GNU/Linux from a CD to maybe see the ACPI events and make sure they're really being sent...
Anyway, I'd love to hear how to get Solaris to soft shutdown on critical temps. If I don't figure it out soon, I'll just lower the "non-recoverable" thresholds, since I'm just running grid engine on nodes provisioned from a flash archive, so I don't need to worry too much about clean shutdowns.

Set a delay for automatic shutdown of virtual machines

Hallo,
is there a way to set a delay for the automatic shutdown of the guests when the host is shutting down? Just like the automatic startup delay but for the shutdown. The simplest possibility would be to shutdown the guest in the opposite of the startup delay.
I want to shutdown the Exchange Server first and then the rest - the virtual Domain Controller should be shutdown as the last server.

Hi,
Additional, please notice the guest 5 minutes delay shutdown issue, more detail please refer the following article:

Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?

Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?
How much the upgrade process depends of database size, in this case?
I have fast boxes IBM AIX 5.3 , 64 b.

Appreciate your comments ...
Yes, sound stupid, regarding test environment, but in reality, is not that much:
-I do have "preprod" environment, (2 instances RAC) same releases of OS, OCW,RAC ... but DB size is 40 GB!!! It has all the objects as production, but (again but) it does not have physical standby, as production has. This is not that unusual, knowing that production DB grows very fast, and very large, and business do not want to keep preprod, dev, test databases same HUGE size as production is. Savings ...
-My DB upgrade depends if application running on top of it is certified for higher RDBMS release ... looks like they have some problems.
-Very encouraging sounds comment that DB upgrade does not depend that much of the DB size ...
- i do not recall from where this info came, but I have heard that R 11.* treats PDF files in different way that R10 did it ... and because of that, process of upgrading big databases which have many items of that type (pdf) can take very long. Any idea about this?
-Brian, thx ... I'm trying hard to provide DB simmilar size in UPG environment and face all possible pitfalls before I go in production...thx for youe advice. I'm relly interested in how upgrade to 11.* from 10.* traets my pdf-s ... All my TBs comming from pdfs. Everi advice will be wellcome ...
