DOUG, they are not needed until you are using GI, without it you have to use them for automation.

it any case, now we have situation when broker has stopped services at GI level, but they are up at instance level and registered with listener

so, it may be:

what to do next:

  • check instance alert.log at the time of switchover. you have to see services reset and after set again - that have to be interesting
  • check listener.log at the time of switchover for services deregistration and registration again or no such operations
  • check for GI Agent log for services related activities

Best Regards,
