Stopping processes before removing software

Before removing Oracle9i from the SF Oracle RAC configuration, stop the gsd process and stop any applications using cluster file systems.

Stopping gsd

Stop the gsd processes on each node you plan to remove. As user oracle, enter the command:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/gsdctl stop

Stopping applications using CFS that are not VCS controlled

Stop all applications using the CFS mounts not under VCS control.

1. To check if any processes use a CFS mount point, enter:

   # fuser -c mount_point

2. Stop any processes that use a CFS mount point or use CVM volumes.

Unmounting CFS file systems that are not VCS controlled

On the systems you are removing, unmount any CFS file systems not under VCS control.

1. Determine file systems to be unmounted. For example, enter:

# mount | grep vxfs | grep cluster

2. Unmount each of the file systems listed in the output by specifying its mount point:

   # umount mount_point
