Automatic Stop of Database (dbshut) not working in OL 7 with systemd (文档 ID 2229679.1)
APPLIES TO:
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 12.1.0.2 and later
Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Machine - Version N/A and later
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Database Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Cloud Exadata Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service - Version N/A and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Linux x86-64
SYMPTOMS
On : 12.1.0.2 version, RDBMS
When attempting to stop DB during server shutdown the automatic shutdown script getting below error
cat /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1/shutdown.log
Processing Database instance "XXXX1": log file /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1/shutdown.log
Info: Database instance "XXXX" already down (PMON process not there).
Which indicate that PMON is forcefully being closed before the script is called.
This is the configuration used

CHANGES
CAUSE
Issue with the dbora script which is doing su to oracle owner process and systemd is not able to keep track of that process.
This is the sample dbora script
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1
ORA_OWNER=oracle
case "$1" in
'start')
# Start the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
# Remove "&" if you don't want startup as a background process.
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORA_HOME"
touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
;;
'stop')
# Stop the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORA_HOME"
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dbora
;;
esac
With this arrangement the systemd is losing control over the service and not stopping it in time.
SOLUTION
The better option is to use dbstart and dbstop script directly under the directive with user and owner details

Additional Following directives need to be considered
1) If someone accidentally runs dbshut/dbstart as root , next valid attempt will consistently fail with:
Apr 25 18:04:57 instance-20190425-12corig dbstart: touch: cannot touch ?/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/startup.log?: Permission denied
Apr 25 18:04:57 instance-20190425-12corig dbstart: chmod: changing permissions of ?/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/startup.log?: Operation not permitted
Apr 25 18:04:57 instance-20190425-12corig dbstart: Processing Database instance "ORCL": log file /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/startup.log
to avoid, add these:
ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -rf /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/listener.log
ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -rf /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/startup.log
ExecStop=/bin/rm -rf /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/shutdown.log
2) To avoid such errors during a real reboot:
Process: 4529 ExecStart=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/dbstart /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Apr 25 17:20:18 instance-20190425-12corig bash[4525]: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/dbstart: No such file or directory
ADD 'local-fs.target' or 'remote-fs.target' (or both)
After=syslog.target network.target local-fs.target remote-fs.target
otherwise the FILESystem where $ORACLE_HOME lives is not ready, and dbstart cannot be found.
3) Add limit* settings as by design systemd does not honor /etc/security/limits.conf settings( Below are the optimal settings as per Database is concern, if you are using different setting at your system level please use those values instead)
LimitNOFILE=65536
LimitNPROC=16384
LimitSTACK=32M
LimitMEMLOCK=infinity
LimitCORE=infinity
Example with all these together:
[Unit]
Description=Oracle Database Start/Stop Service
After=syslog.target network.target local-fs.target remote-fs.target
[Service]
# systemd, by design does not honor PAM limits
