Hi, Terry.

Yes, you should definitely be shutting down the Oracle database instances in a clean manner before shutting down Linux itself. Oracle does not like having the rug pulled out from under it....

Have a good one.

Hi,

Lately we have had some problems with Oracle corruption that we are
being told it is because the way we are shutting down our z/Linux guest.
What is the cleanest and safest way to shutdown a z/Linux guest? Should
we be issuing a separate Oracle shutdown of some sort before shutting
down the whole guest?

We are running REDHAT REL4 under z/VM 5.3

Thanks in advance!

Terry
