Could I mount oracle again?

[Lee Joon Moon]

Hello Everyone.

I crashed HPUX root disk.
But, I don't have any backup disk.
Most important data is oracle disk.
Orace is located in different another disk.
After I reinstall HPUX(11.1i), Could I mount oracle disk on system or not?

Pleas answer me.
Thank you have a nice day.
Happy new year.

Hi

is oracle home located in the same 'oracle disk' besides the oracle datafiles?

Hi...
Oracle's Homepage was on Oracle Disk

You sure can mount the Oracle desk again afte the reinstall of the root disk.

A recovery of the Oracle database might be required as the shutdown of the database wasn't clean. But as long as you've got the archived logs, that shouldn't be an issue either.

When you get the machine reinstalled, you will simply need
to do a vgimport of the disk(s) containing the oracle filesystem(s).

You can do this via command line (my choice) or by using SAM.
Once you've done that, merely recreate your mountpoint(s) and
remount the filesystem(s). You may need to fsck each fs first.

sorry for this late reply.

you may like to refer to the attachment, Doc ID: 230829.1 from Oracle Metalink which describes how you should handle disk loss depending on the scenario you are currently in.

since you have mention Oracle Home (which is the software) is in the same "oracle disk", it seems you should be able to recover the database. do take note of the kernel parameters, oratab, OS user and group, etc which needs to be configure at the root disk.
