An internally managed, read-only attribute that contains details about the state of a resource.
The four resource states—ONLINE
, OFFLINE
, UNKNOWN
, and INTERMEDIATE
—may map to different resource-specific values, such as mounted, unmounted, and open. Resource agent developers can use the STATE_DETAILS
attribute to provide a more detailed description of this mapping, resource to the resource state.
Providing details is optional. If details are not provided, then Oracle Clusterware uses only the four possible resource states. Additionally, if the agent cannot provide these details (as may also happen to the value of the resource state), then Oracle Clusterware sets the value of this attribute to provide minimal details about why the resource is in its current state.
