Which "srvctl" to use in standalone (Oracle Restart) grid install

1950349Jun 11 2014 — edited Jun 12 2014

I have installed 11.2.0.4 grid software in a GRID_HOME.

Now, for adding the databases already running on this server, would I need to use the "srvctl" from the ORACLE_HOME of the database/listener, or from the GRID_HOME? Or is there no difference?

I have read that for RAC, I will need to use the srvctl from the home of the target that I'm adding.

But is that also the case for standalone?

I have tested and both work.

But all are installed using 1 user, maybe it will fail when using different users per HOME.

Can someone tell me where I can find any document on this?

Hi

If you want to use Oracle ASM or Oracle Restart, then you must install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server before you install and create the database. Otherwise, you must manually register the database with Oracle Restart.

Check this:

3.9.2 Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for an Existing Database

--> Go to the Grid home's bin directory.

Use the srvctl add database command with the -c SINGLE flag to add the database.

Found the answer myself: It's the same as for RAC, you need to use the SRVCTL from the home of the target you administer:
