STATE

An internally-managed attribute that reflects the current state of the resource as reported by Oracle Clusterware. The state of a resource can be one of the following:

  • ONLINE: The resource is online and resource monitoring is enabled (see CHECK_INTERVAL).

  • OFFLINE: The resource is offline and only offline resource monitoring is enabled, if configured (see OFFLINE_CHECK_INTERVAL).

  • INTERMEDIATE: The resource is either partially online or was known to be online before and subsequent attempts to determine its state have failed; resource monitoring is enabled (see CHECK_INTERVAL).

  • UNKNOWN: The resource is unmanageable and its current state is unknown; manual intervention is required to resume its operation. A resource in this state is not monitored.
