Description Shane Bradley 2008-11-11 16:28:46 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008092318 Fedora/3.0.2-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.2

The rgmanager oracledb.sh resource agent does not properly check for all db startup failures.  They have provided steps in the initial summary here that reproduce this problem by starting a backup before shutting down the database.  Currently the script checks the log file in /tmp for the word failure:

  grep -q "failure" $logfile

However some failures are printed in this format:

  ORA-01113: file 6 needs media recovery
  ORA-01110: data file 6: '/raid4/oradata/ORCL4/test.dbf'

Since isqlplusctl and emctl both return 0 from the start operation, the agent does not detect the db hasn't started properly.  The above grep command should be changed to include these cases.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run backup and then shutdown or crash the database (or to crash a very busy database, or remove/corrupt any of the datafiles
2)process would be there, so the cluster is happy, 
3)yet the database is effectively down; tons of citations when oracle process is up, but database is not open or mounted. 

3.
Actual Results:  
rgmanager says the resource is up, when it is not up

Expected Results:  
oracledb.sh should check for errors in logs. currently the error that is causing db to not start is not checked.
