Oracle automated startup

Question

Hi I have been able to automatically start the dbstart so that oracle is warm and started but I want to know a way of automating the STARTUP PFILE command that you have to use to start a oracle instance or session, if you could help I would be greatful. I am working on a linux platform and am using Red Hat 6.2. The situation is that if i have my system running and it crashs, when it comes to starting again I want it to start the database and the Pfile so that the database is automatically restarted with out any hassle

Answer 1

Peter,
Normally the problem here is that the environment is not set, or
is not being set correctly OR that things that Oracle needs to be
available have already been killed (lower run level) or have not
been started (higher run level).
Check that the environment is OK when the dbora script is run and
check that your scripts are called in the right order of things
when moving between run levels.
Regards,
Mark
