Administering Cluster Ready Services (CRS)

We use Cluster Control Utility “CRSCTL” to perform administrative operation of oracle clusterware. It is located in $CRS_HOME/bin and must be executed by the “root” user.


1. To check the current state of all oracle clusterware daemon:

$ ./crsctl check crs

CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
EVM appears healthy

2. You can also check the state of individual oracle clusterware daemon:

$ ./crsctl check cssd

CSS appears healthy

$ ./crsctl check crsd

CRS appears healthy

$ ./crsctl check evmd

EVM appears healthy

3. To start oracle clusterware

$ ./crsctl start crs

Attempting to start CRS stack

The CRS stack will be started shortly

4. To stop oracle clusterware

$ ./crsctl stop crs

Stopping resources.
