Oracle log files

 To check the Oracle log file

• For Oracle 10g Release 1, access:

  $CRS_HOME/crs/log

• For Oracle 10g Release 2, access:

  $CRS_HOME/log/hostname/crsd

  where hostname is the string returned by the hostname command.

The log file in this directory contains the logs pertaining to the CRS resources such as the virtual IP, Listener, and database instances. The file indicates some configuration errors or Oracle problems, since CRS does not directly interact with any of the Veritas components.

 To check for crs core dumps

Access:

$CRS_HOME/crs/init

Core dumps for the crsd.bin daemon are written here. Use this file for further debugging.

 To check the Oracle css log file

• For Oracle 10g Release 1, access:

  $CRS_HOME/css/log

• For Oracle 10g Release 2, access:

  $CRS_HOME/log/hostname/cssd

  where hostname is the string returned by the hostname command.

The log files in this directory indicate actions such as reconfigurations, missed checkins, connects, and disconnects from the client CSS listener. If there are membership issues, they will show up here. If there are communication issues over the private networks, they are logged here. The ocssd process interacts with vcsmm for cluster membership.

 To check for ocssd core dumps

Access:

$CRS_HOME/css/init

Core dumps from the ocssd and the pid for the css daemon whose death is treated as fatal are located here. If there are abnormal restarts for css the core files are found here.
