Crs_stat -t in 11.2
Hi,
I have a 2 node 11.2 RAC on Linux 5. crs_stat -t or "crsctl stat res -t", it does not list my instance resource which I used to observe in 10.2 or 11.1 RAC. Instead I only see database resource listed here. Can anyone tell me is there a way to list my instance resource here as well?
Thanks
Hi,
crs_stat command is deprecated in 11.2. If you want to check instance resource you can use below command
srvctl status instance -d prod -i "prd1,prd2" -vHope that helps
Cheers

Is there an enhanced equivalent of crs_stat -t command in 11.2 ?
DB version: 11.2.0.1
Os : Solaris
In 10gR2, we used
crs_stat -tto check the status of cluster. Is there an enhanced equivalent of this command in 11.2 ?Thank you Rajesh. Do you set anything in putty (like increasing the row width) to make it more readable.
The output look a bit messed up
$ crsctl stat res -t -init

TARGET Column in crs_stat output
This what oracle doc says about the TARGET column in crs_stat output
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/crsref.htm
The TARGET value shows the state to which Oracle Clusterware attempts to set the resource. If the TARGET value is ONLINE and a cluster node fails, then Oracle Clusterware attempts to restart the application on another node if possible. If there is a condition forcing a resource STATE to be OFFLINE, such as a required resource that is OFFLINE, then the TARGET value remains ONLINE and Oracle Clusterware attempts to start the application or application resource once the condition is corrected.
Didn't quite understand. So, if
TARGET = ONLINE , then that means this particular resourse should be up mandatorily ?
and if
TARGET = OFFLINE , then that means this particular resourse does not have to be up ?Question2.
Can anyone tell me a scenario for a standard RAC implementation , where you can find TARGET = OFFLINEGarryB wrote:

This is also the way I understand it.

Question2.
Can anyone tell me a scenario for a standard RAC implementation , where you can find TARGET = OFFLINEFor example in 11.2 RAC:
- ora.gsd is by default OFFLINE because only needed if you use an Oracle 9.2 database according to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24616/postinst.htm#BABDAFGD.
- ora.oc4j is OFFLINE because it has not been implemented by Oracle. Example in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/install_rac.htm#TDPRC175. -
Crs_stat shows listener TARGET=ONLINE and STATE=OFFLINE
When I issue crs_stat command I see, the listener on Node1 shows state=offline while target=online as given below,
NAME=ora.moldbcls1.LISTENER_MOLDBCLS1.lsnr
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=OFFLINE
I don't have any issues from user connections. What should I do to make the STATE=ONLINE.

Sami Malik.Hi,
From my experience, I see two typical errors that might be the reason for improper services execution, in your case:
Error 1: Listener service is not getting started properly.
Resolution: Stop all services and restart it using "crs_start -all".
Error 2: Time sync issues over NTP.
Resolution (in order of appearance):
(a) Type "system-config-time" command in terminal
(b) Click "Network Time Protocol"
(c) Check "Enable Network Time Protocol"
(d) Select NTP server and click "OK" OR (v) Select date -s XX:XX:XX to modify time
(e) Stop all services using "crs_stop -all"
(f) Check service status using "crs_stat -t"
(g) If "ora.moldbcls1.LISTENER_MOLDBCLS1.lsnr" stops then proceed to the next step, if not then stop it manually using "crs_stop ora.moldbcls1.LISTENER_MOLDBCLS1.lsnr"
(h) Check services status once again to verify all services are stopped.
(i) Restart all services using "crs_start -all"
(j) Check services status once again to verify all services are running.
Tip: To avoid such occurances in future, set your local hardware clock to NTP server.
Hope this helps.

I want to know how it is possible that Oracle instances are running (checked from ps & EM) but crs_stat thinks they are offline.
I checked alert logs of crs, ocssd.logs but could not find anything significant.

Execute crs_stat –t with different user
Hi Xperts
I am trying to do a monitoring script and I want to execute crs_stat –t with different user than Oracle (DB and Grid owner), I receive:
CRS-0245: User doesn't have enough privilege to perform the operation
CRS-0202: No resources are registered.
I already register User2 to Oinstall group and I am able to connect to sqlplus with User2.
This monitoring scripts is going to be part of one monitoring tool, I already integrate other DB monitoring scripts.
DB: Oracle RAC 11gR2(11.2.0.3) with OEL 5.9
Thank you for your time
Regardscan you try to execute crsctl stat res -t -init using user2 .
crs_stat command is deprecated in 11gR2.

How to remove an entry from crs_stat which is NOT in ocrdump
Hi experts,
Env; Sun Solairs 10
RAC -- 2 node cluster
verison 10.2.0.3.0
CRS isused
NO vendor clusterware
I've 4 instances running on 10.2.0.3.0.. Creating a new DB on the same ORACLE_HOME using dbca. Hit into a bug 5886151 and aborted the install..
NOW, there were some entries in ocrdump.. so used srvctl ro remove the database from CRS... OCTDUMPFILE is godd now..
However., then I do crs_stat. I do see the below entries..
NAME=ora.<<DBNAME>>.db
TYPE=application
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE
How to remove thsi entry???
Thanks
regards
NatrajanThere are "cap" files that contain the information on the resources in crs they are usually located in $CRS_HOME/crs/profile or $CRS_HOME/crs/public I have not tried this but I believe you can edit, remove, etc these files and then run the crs_register command pointing to the directory where the "cap" files are.
If I were you I would probably contact Oracle support before doing this though. Unless this cluster is not being used currently and you can risk this type of operation on your own. -

Inconsistent crs_stat between two nodes.
I'm trying to install a 2-node RAC cluster. After finally getting the clusterware and the database software, my install is stuck on the dbca. I've encountered a placement error for the listener on the second node. This was partially fixed when I renamed the listener to the proper name, but right now I'm confused as doing a crs_stat -t on either node doesn't show consistent results.

I'm installing 10gR2 (10.2.0.1.0) on RHEL4 - 2.6.9-78.ELsmp.Hi,
These are normal things which you can face in RAC environment and some times there is no reason for these and you can correct problems by restgarting CRS or other services(This is only my personal experience). You will see this kid of issues more on vmware which s not certified for RAC thats whay i streightaway asked, whether you are using vmware or not. So you can do nothing about it especially on vmware other than restarting the nodes

Crs_stat hang indefinitely
Dear all,
I'm having an issue with crs_stat or any other command, its just hang/freeze. The only way quick to reboot one server.
we have not have such problem for months and now its coming back. I've tried to check the crsd.log in both nodes, i found there is a gap for a few months that the log is not generated in crsd.log
This is 10.2.0.3, 2 nodes RAC running on veritas SFRAC.
Appreciate any advice. ThanksKok Aik wrote:

Well, would you update if it's only crs_stat causing the OS to hang or one single node.
Are you able to login on the same instance and operate normally on OS level by looking for top, ls (assuming the OS platfor as unix), with my experience it may be an issue with the OS or you may require few patches to be installed.
Are the end user's complaining when the instance is hanged/jammed ?
I would recommend contacting Oracle support if the hanging issues are related to CRS.

This is 11.2.0.1.0 on red hat linux.Hi,
This is 11.2.0.X (seen because you have an OC4J running). Please use "crsctl stat res -t" instead of "crs_stat -t". crs_stat is depricated in 11.2 and will not show everything correctly.
So please show an output of crsctl stat res -t
Furthermore how did you start the instance?
