Oracle RAC: Debugging CRS and GSD using DTRACING

Oracle Server management configuration tools include a diagnostic and trace facility. For verbose output for SRVCTL, GSD, GSDCTL, or SRVCONFIG, tracing can be enabled to provide additional screen output. The following steps explain the process of setting and tracing the other programs:

  1. vi the gsd.sh/srvctl/srvconfig file in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. In Windows, right-click the OraHomebingsd.bat file and choose Edit.
  2. At the end of the file, look for the following line: exec $JRE -classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.ops.mgmt.daemon.OPSMDaemon $MY_OHOME
  3. Add the following just before the -classpath in the exec $JRE line: -DTRACING.ENABLED=true -DTRACING.LEVEL=2
  4. At the end of the gsd.sh file, the string should now look like this: exec $JRE -DTRACING.ENABLED=true -DTRACING.LEVEL=2 -classpath.....

NOTE Beginning with Oracle Database 10gd, setting the environment variable SRVM_TRACE to true traces all the SRVM files such as GSD, SRVCTL, and OCRCONFIG.

In a Nutshell

In this chapter, you have seen the basic to advanced methods of collecting diagnostic information when a hang situation occurs. You also studied the steps in node reconfiguration and IMR internals. Most of the complex problems may require assistance from Oracle Support, and this chapter will help you when dealing with Oracle Support personnel.
