ORACLE START UP

[Ayanda]

How do I start Orace 7 from
HPUX ?

[Stefan Farrelly]

su - oracle
dbstart

If it doesnt start you may need to check the following environment variables are set;
ORACLE_HOME=
ORACLE_SID=

[Pierce Byrne_1]

su - oracle
ORACLE_SID=YOURSID
export ORACLE_SID
svrmgrl
>connect internal;
>startup;
>exit;

This will start from the command line, you can script this to autostart if you wish.

Note - Oracle 7 is desupported.

[Ian Lochray]

If you use dbstart (which is not the method recommended by Oracle) you must have a "Y" entry for the appropriate SID in the oratab file.
Note also, that at later Oracle versions, svrmgrl is desupported. Oracle currently recommend using sqlplus as sysdba to start Oracle.

hello,

this is how i do it!

1. in /sbin/init.d
file oracle
(see attachment)

2. Create links to look as below:
yd: /sbin>ll rc*/*oracle*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 19 Dec 16 2001 rc1.d/K100oracle -> /sbin/init.d/oracle
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 19 Dec 16 2001 rc2.d/S900oracle -> /sbin/init.d/oracle


3. Config file
yd: /etc/rc.config.d>more oracle
#YD/CMT-16/12/2001
# ORACLE DATABASE configuration
#
# ORACLE_START_STOP : Set to 1 to start ORACLE DATABASE
#
ORACLE_START_STOP=1
yd: /etc/rc.config.d>


Hope this helps!

best regards

Hi,
most of it said already!

Depending on the x in Version 7.x:

"svrmgrl" might not be available.
Use "sqldba" instead.

Hope this helps

As others have said...

dbstart is the recommended way to go.

If it doesn't work for after you've checked /etc/oratab, take a look at the dbstart script in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

I found a bug in a version of 7.x where it didn't decode the server version correctly and attempted to start the instance like it was version 6 or something like that.

Sorry, it's been a long time since I've run 7.

Good Luck
