Cannot Start Oracle Listener on Solaris 10 Bootup

[Michael42]

Hello,

It seems the standard /ect/init.d/dbora on a Solaris 10 system running Oracle 10g may not be fully compliant. To qualify, in my startup script my database comes up but the listener does not.

Is there anything special that needs to be done to ensure that the listener is started properly when you boot a Sun Solaris 10 UNIX System?

Thanks,

Michael42

Michael,

What are the behaviours and messages that result from a standard "lsnrctl" start?

Santa,

The messages are displaying that the network is not available. This same script I use on a dozen other (Solaris 8) systems without issue.

[COLOR=green]# Listener Section of Script[/color]
su - oracle -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start" 2>&1  >> /tmp/dbora.out

I have tried adding pauses (sleep 600) and pinging the hostname of the listener to ensure it is being resolved (it is). Still no joy.

I believe the way Solaris 10 boots is fundamentally different than the Solaris 8/9 way (via rc scripts and run levels etc.) but our UNIX admins are using Solaris 10 in a legacy, possible not compliant way in this area. Just a guess.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Michael,

I'm sorry that I have no Solaris 10 platform from which either to speak from experience or to use for isolation/troubleshooting. With the combination of Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g, my next step (if I were in your position) would be to log a service request with Oracle Metalink. The Oracle TSR can, if necessary, remotely connect to your client machine via an Oracle Collaboration session to actually see and do what you are doing to isolate and resolve your problem.

If you take that approach, please post your resolution here so that we can add to the knowledge base for the future.

Will do - thanks sir.

The messages are displaying that the network is not available.

Just a thought about this:
Did you check in which order your boot scripts are executed?
Maybe you are trying to start the listener before your network is up and running?

Yes. Thanks for the post.


Is anyone using Solaris 10 and Oracle 9/10?


Thanks,
