Table 72. Values for -cluster
Value
Description
startup
Instructs the broker to redirect the startup request to the OS cluster manager. The cluster manager will start the database using the information supplied when the database was enabled for cluster protection.
protected
Instructs the broker to start a cluster-enabled database. This value is used by the cluster manager within the database .pf file and indicates that database will be protected by the cluster manager in the event of a failover.
Note: This parameter must only be used by the cluster manager. It should not be used on the command line or a directly executed script.
The -cluster parameter is required for startup of all cluster-enabled databases. If used with a database that is not cluster-enabled, the parameter is ignored.
