automated shutdown of oracle dbs + linux servers

[Anonymous user]

I am interested in automatic shutdown of 2 linux servers that run oracle databases.  We have 2-SMT3000RM2U units each with an AP9631 NMC2.  Each linux server has a PSU connected to each UPS for redundancy purposes.  The challenge is to shut down the oracle instances before the linux servers are given the shutdown control event.  I have the scripts necessary to issue the oracle commands needed for shutdown - I am simply confused on which solution to use in order to execute the scripts before a shutdown control event.

Would this be feasible to explore NMC2 + Power Chute Network Shutdown or consider Power Chute Business Edition with Power Chute Agents on each machine?

Hi,

PowerChute Network Shutdown can be configured to listen to up to 4 NMC. We have Application Note 98 on the subject.
