Using the OCRDUMP Utility to View Oracle Cluster Registry Content

This section explains how to use the OCRDUMP utility to view OCR and Oracle Local Registry (OLR) content for troubleshooting. The OCRDUMP utility enables you to view OCR and OLR contents by writing the content to a file or stdout in a readable format.

You can use several options for OCRDUMP. For example, you can limit the output to a key and its descendents. You can also write the contents to an XML file that you can view using a browser. OCRDUMP writes the OCR keys as ASCII strings and values in a data type format. OCRDUMP retrieves header information based on a best effort basis.

OCRDUMP also creates a log file in Grid_home/log/host_name/client. To change the log level, edit the Grid_home/srvm/admin/ocrlog.ini file.

To change the logging component, edit the entry containing the comploglvl= entry. For example, to change the log level of the OCRAPI component to 3 and to change the log level of the OCRRAW component to 5, make the following entry in the ocrlog.ini file:

comploglvl="OCRAPI:3;OCRRAW:5"

Note:

Make sure that you have file creation privileges in the Grid_home directory before using the OCRDUMP utility.
