crsctl start resource

Use the crsctl start resource command to start many idle resources on a particular server in the cluster.

Syntax

crsctl start resource {resource_name [...] | -w "filter" | -all}
   [-n server_name | -s server_pool_names] [-k cid] [-d did]
   [-env "env1=val1,env2=val2,..."] [-begin] [-end] [-i] [-f] [-l]

Parameters

Table E-20 crsctl start resource Command Parameters

Parameter Description 
resource_name [...]

One or more space-delimited resource names to start.

 
-w "filter"

Specify a resource filter surrounded by double quotation marks ("") that Oracle Clusterware uses to match resources. For example, -w "TYPE = ora.database.type" or -w "NAME = cs1".

See Also: "Filters" for more information

 
-all

Use this parameter to start all resources in the cluster.

 
-n server_name

Specify the name of the server on which the resources you want to start reside. If you do not specify a server, then Oracle Clusterware starts the resources on the best server according to the attribute profile of each resource.

 
-s server_pool_names

Specify a single server pool name or a space-delimited list of server pools in which a resource resides that you want to start.

 
-k cid

Specify the resource cardinality ID. If you specify this parameter, then Oracle Clusterware starts the resource instances that have the cardinality you specify.

 
-d did

Specify the resource degree ID. If you specify this parameter and the degree ID is greater than 1, then Oracle Clusterware starts all resource instances that meet this criteria.

Note: You cannot use the -d parameter without specifying the -k parameter.

 
-env "env1=val1,
env2=val2,..."

You can optionally override one or more resource profile attribute values with the -env command parameter. If you specify multiple environment name-value pairs, then you must separate each pair with a comma and enclose the entire list in double quotation marks ("").

 
-begin

You can specify this parameter to begin a transparent HA action.

 
-end

You can specify this parameter to end a transparent HA action.

 
-i

If you specify -i, then the command returns an error if processing this command requires waiting for Oracle Clusterware to unlock the resource or its dependents. Sometimes, Oracle Clusterware locks resources or other objects to prevent commands from interfering with each other.

 
-f

Use the -f parameter to relocate a resource running on another server on which the resource you want to start has a hard start dependency. If you do not specify the force parameter in this case, then the start command fails.

 
-l

Use the -l parameter to leave the resources in the state they were in if the start command fails.

Usage Notes

  • Any one of the three following options is required to specify which resources you want to start:

    • You can specify one or more resources to start

    • You can specify a resource filter that Oracle Clusterware uses to match resources to start

    • You can specify the -all parameter to start all resources on the specified server

  • You must have read and execute permissions on the specified resources to start them

  • Do not use this command to start any resources with names that begin with ora because these resources are Oracle resources

  • Oracle does not support starting managed applications outside of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure

Example

To start a resource:

# crsctl start resource myResource -n server1
