Which three actions would be helpful in determining the cause of a node reboot?
A.
determining the time of the node reboot by using the uptime command and subtracting the up
time from the current system time
B.
looking for messages such as “Oracle CSSD failure. Rebooting for cluster integrity” in
/var/log/messages
C.
using the crsctl command to view tracing information
D.
inspecting the ocssd log for “Begin Dump” or “End Dump” messages
E.
inspecting the database alert log for reboot messages
Explanation:
Determining Which Process Caused RebootFirst, determine the time of the node reboot by using the uptime command and subtracting the up
time from the current system time. The reboot time will be used when examining log files.
When the OCSSD daemon is responsible for rebooting a node, a message similar to Oracle
CSSD failure.
Rebooting for cluster integrity is written into the system messages log at /var/log/messages.
The cssd daemon log file that is located at <Grid_Home>/log/<hostname>/cssd/ocssd.log may
also contain messages similar to “Begin Dump” or “End Dump” just before the reboot.
If hangcheck-timer is being used, it will provide message logging to the system messages log
when a node restart is initiated by the module. To verify whether this process was responsible for
the node reboot, examine the /var/log/messages file and look for an error message similar to:
“Hangcheck: hangcheck is restarting the machine.”Other useful log files include the Clusterware alert log in <Grid_home>/log/<hostname> and the
lastgasp log in /etc/oracle/lastgasp or /var/opt/oracle/lastgasp.
If no indication of which process caused the reboot can be determined from these files, additional
debugging and tracing may need to be enabled.
Note: The oclsomon and the oprocd background processes have been eliminated in Oracle
Database 11g Release 2.

A. right. is very useful to use uptime to find out when was the last reboot
B. right. /var/log/messages is the key OS message info
C. wrong. crsctl is not the for viewing trace info
D. right. ocssd.log is the key log file
E. wrong. DB alert log file does not have such info
So A.B.D. are correct.
