Hi Experts,

Need urgent help.

We have 2 Unix SunOS server, named as SUNOS01 and SUNOS02, there is some space need to add in SUNOS02 and for that I have to bring the Database down on SUNOS02. When I checked I found that the DB is pointing to SUNOS01, i.e. there is no DB on SUNOS02,
So, Do I required to shutdown the DB on SUNOS01 or it is not required to do anything from Database side. I mean to say should I ask Unix team to bring down the unix server and add the space.
Also, if DB shutdown is not required then what I have to do afetr they have added space and bring the server up from DB side.
Pls help, I am new to DBA.

Many thanks in advance

What you want to do (and what you have) is not clear.

If you want to add RAM on a physical server then you have to stop it.
If it is the DB server, of course the DB will shut down.
If it is not the DB server then there is no need to touch the DB.

Regards
Michel

Hi Michel,

Thanks for the reply, I understand that there is no need to Shutdown the DB on SunOS02 as there is no DB install on it.
once the unix server is restarted, Do I need to start some LISTNER or something on SunOS02 server, so that it can connect to SunOS01 DB. If yes how to do that
