Scheduling clustered services down time? |
|
|
I need to stop some clustered services at 10pm and start them again at 11pm.
This allows our application to disconnect from Oracle during cold backups,
thereby terminating all sessions to the database.
I used to do this with net start / stop, prior to being in a cluster
administrator configuration. How can I do this through cluster administrator
so that it doesn't generate errors or fail over to the other server? Are
there some command line options? I just want the services to go offline for
a period of time.
Thanks! |

Cluster.exe is the command line version of the GUI Cluster Administrator,
you can indeed do this all from the CUI (Command User Interface :)).
The key is to take the group offline during the 1 hour outage. Just remember
you doing this 1 hour a day will kill more then a few 9's.
So: cluster /cluster:cluster-name cluster-group name /offline - If you name
your MYCLUST and your group is Oracle:
cluster /cluster:MYCLUST group ORACLE /offline
Cheers,
Rod

We have a couple of generic applications that run as cluster resources that
have a memory leak. I use a batch file that's scheduled as a AT job to run
once a week to stop the 3 resources then start them again and send me an
email with their status afterwoods. The whole process takes about 12
seconds.
CLUSTER /cluster:cluster-name RESOURCE resource-name /offline
Cheers
