Cleanly shutting down a RAC instance without compromising the existing transactions

edited May 29, 2012 4:02AM in Database - RAC/Scalability (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered

Hello everyone

we have a 2 node 11g R2 RAC database
The application is java based and we are using application connection pooling
The database is running in dedicated server mode

Due to some requirements, we need to bounce each instance one by one (this is a 24 x 7 production database)
so that there is no downtime. we have a couple of questions

1. If we shutdown an instance, what is going to happen to the connected sessions? Would they fail over the other instance?
 
2. If we shutdown the instance, at that moment if there are any running transacions, would those be rolled back?

Howdy, Stranger!
