RE: multi-home servers

I write my own startup script based on the Oracle supplied script.

The dbstart script reads the oratab file - right? I still use this basic script but have added calls to my own startup scripts for the Listener and Oracle agent. The Listener startup script sets its own Oracle Home. Same thing with the Oracle Agent. I figure that I know when I move the Listener from one release to another and know that I need to adjust this script to the new Oracle home.

Hope this helps.

if RMAN isnt seeing remote databases probably you haven't got a single location for oracle name resolution configured. You'll either need to do that or ensure that your tnsnames file has the correct entries in the ORACLE_HOME that you are running the rman executable from.

Ihave 11g and 10 and trying to get a 10 db up to 10.1.0.2 and then to 11g.

The listener seems the biggest problem. When I try to set the home to 10 from 11 rman cant see remorte databases.

Is there a checklist of EVERYTHING you need to do?

How do you control db and listener startup at boot time? dbstart seems entirely inadequate.
