Make sure to shutdown/start related stuff (viz OAS) that might have been installed too. Also, on some UNIX systems, NFS file system from Server A might have been mounted on Server B. If so, you need to shutdown the database first, umount the file system, then shutdown. Upon starting Server, the bootstrap script to mount the file system (share it), followed by starting of the database. You can modify the script in such a way that, if the FS is not mounted, page the DBA, donot start the Database. Also, the shutdown script normaly has SHUTDOWN ; change it to SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE / SHUTDOWN ABORT depending on what you prefer. HTH GovindanK >Hi Greetings, > > We are using solaris.
