Table 6 Variables or Parameters in haoracle.conf file (continued)

Parameter Name

Description

ASM_DISKGROUP

This parameter gives the list of all ASM disk groups used by the database

 

instance. This parameter must be set only for the ASM database instance

 

package.

 

NOTE: For ASM instance package, no value must be set for this parameter.

 

 

ASM_VOLUME_GROUP

This parameter gives the list of volume groups used in the disk groups for the

 

ASM database instance. This parameter must be set only for the ASM database

 

instance package.

 

NOTE: For ASM instance package, no value must be set for this parameter.

 

 

ASM_HOME

The home directory where ASM is installed. This parameter must be set for both

 

the ASM and the ASM database instance packages.

 

 

ASM_USER

The user name of the Oracle ASM administrator. This parameter must be set

 

for both ASM instance and ASM database instance packages.

 

 

ASM_SID

The ASM session name. This uniquely identifies an ASM instance. If the database

 

instance package depends on the ASM MNP package, then this parameter

 

needs to be set for both the ASM and the database instance packages. This

 

parameter need not be set in case the database instance package depends on

 

the SGeRAC clusterware package (OC MNP). This parameter is set to "+ASM"

 

by default.

 

 

PFILE

Oracle database /ASM parameter file. If not specified, Oracle picks this up

 

from the Oracle configuration directory $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or

 

$ASM_HOME/dbs depending on the INSTANCE_TYPE.

 

 

SPFILE

This parameter, when configured, overrides the default file or location. If both

 

PFILE and SPFILE are present and this parameter is not specified, then the Oracle

 

scripts will make use of PFILE as the parameter file. To make use of SPFILE in

 

the scripts, do not configure this parameter and remove the default PFILE from

 

its default location. This parameter must be set for both the ASM and the

 

database instance packages.

 

NOTE: For Oracle 11gR2, by default, the spfile of the ASM instance is stored

 

on the ASM diskgroup. This is true only for the ASM instance and not for the

 

database instance that uses the ASM diskgroup.For an ASM instance, the ECM

 

Toolkit cannot verify the existence of the spfile on the ASM diskgroup. So, it is

 

mandatory that a pfile is created from the spfile on the local disk, at a location

 

that ECMT can access. For 11gR2 ASM instance, the value of the PFILE attribute

 

must point to the pfile that is created on the local disk.

 

 

LISTENER

Set to "yes" if you want the scripts to start and stop the Oracle Listener. This

 

parameter must be set only in the database instance package.

 

 

LISTENER_NAME

The name of the listener process. This parameter must be set only in the database

 

instance package.

 

 

LISTENER_PASS

The password of the listener process. This parameter must be set only in the

 

database instance package.

 

 

MONITOR_PROCESSES

The names of all processes that should be executing. This parameter must be

 

set for the ASM and the database instance packages. The description of this

 

attribute in the package configuration file has a sample of processes that must

 

be monitored for ASM and database instances.
