Attribute definition for the ASMInst agent
Review the description of the ASMInst agent attributes. The agent attributes are classified as required, optional, and internal.
Table: Required attributes for ASMInst agent lists the required attributes. You must assign values to the required attributes.
Table: Required attributes for ASMInst agent
Required attributes | Type and dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
Sid | string-scalar | The variable $ORACLE_SID that represents the ASM instance. The Sid is considered case-sensitive by the ASMInst agent. |
Owner | string-scalar | The Oracle user who has privileges to start or stop ASM instance. The agent also supports LDAP users as Oracle user. |
Home | string-scalar | The $ORACLE_HOME path to Oracle ASM binaries and configuration files. For example, you could specify the path as /opt/ora_home. Note: Do not append a slash (/) at the end of the path. |
Table: Optional attributes for ASMInst agent lists the optional attributes for ASMInst agent. You can configure the optional attributes if necessary.
Table: Optional attributes for ASMInst agent
Optional Attributes | Type and Dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
ContainerOpts | static-assoc-int | This resource-type level attribute specifies the container options for the Oracle ASM instances that run in the context of Solaris containers (zones). These values are only effective when you set the ContainerInfo service group attribute. recommends that you do not change the following values.
See the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide and the Veritas InfoScale 7.3.1 Virtualization Guide. |
EnvFile | string-scalar | The full path name of the file that is sourced by the entry point scripts. This file contains the environment variables set by the user for the Oracle database server environment such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, NLS_DATE_FORMAT, and so on. The syntax for the contents of the file depends on the login shell of Owner. File must be readable by Owner. The file must not contain any prompts for user input. |
Pfile | string-scalar | The name of the initialization parameter file of ASM instance with the complete path of the startup profile. You can also use the server parameter file. Create a one-line text initialization parameter file that contains only the SPFILE parameter. See the Oracle documentation for more information. |
MonitorOption | integer-scalar | Monitor options for the ASM instance. This attribute can take values 0 or 1.
You must set the value of this attribute as 1 to use the intentional offline functionality of the agent. Default = 0 |
DBAUser | string-scalar | The ASM user who has sysasm privileges to start or stop the ASM instance. You can create ASM users for Oracle 11g R1 and later. |
DBAPword | string-scalar | Encrypted password for DBAUser. Encrypt passwords only when entering them using the command-line. Passwords must be encrypted using the VCS Encrypt utility. |
Encoding | string-scalar | Specifies operating system encoding that corresponds to Oracle encoding for the displayed Oracle output. Default is "". |
StartUpOpt | string-scalar | Startup option for the Oracle ASM instance. The agent uses the sqlplus command to start the Oracle ASM instance. This attribute can take the following values:
Default is "STARTUP". Note: recommends to use STARTUP or SRVCTLSTART option for ASMInst resource. |
ShutDownOpt | string-scalar | Shut down option for the Oracle ASM instance. By default the agent uses the sqlplus command to stop the Oracle ASM instance. To stop the ASM instance using srvctl utility set the option to SRVCTLSTOP. Default is "". |
Table: Internal attributes for ASMInst agent lists the internal attribute for ASMInst agent. This attribute is for internal use only. Veritas recommends not to modify the value of this attribute.
Table: Internal attributes for ASMInst agent
Optional Attributes | Type and Dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
AgentDirectory | static-string | Specifies the location of binaries, scripts, and other files related to the ASMInst agent. Default is /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/ASMInst. |
