Using the SPFILE in a VCS cluster

When using the Veritas Cluster Server agent for Oracle, you can start a database instance by specifying a PFILE. If you do not specify the PFILE, the database instance starts up using the default SPFILE.

The agent attribute Pfile must specify the location of the PFILE. If your configuration uses the SPFILE, the contents of the PFILE must specify the location of the SPFILE, which must be created from the PFILE.

Note:

If you want the SPFILE's session parameter changes be persistent across an instance failover, then Symantec recommends you to save the SPFILE on shared storage.
