master.sh script for Oracle RAC

For a long time, in RAC environment, I use famous Bernhard de Cock Buning's script which shows current master node in Oracle RAC. Script is originally downloaded from RACHelp site where you can find a lot of nice RAC scripts.

But execution of script had a little bug, when one of the RAC nodes is down-script hang! This is why I have added ssh ConnectTimeout parameter which solve this problem fully.

Here is the whole source of changed script:

#!/bin/sh
#
#
# Requirements:
# - Make sure the ORA_CRS_HOME / ORACLE_HOME is set to the CRS environment.
# - Make sure all the nodes in the cluster can be accessed trough ssh.
# Version:
# - version 1.0
# - Bernhard de Cock Buning
# -> master.sh
# -> 1.0 Initial creation of masternode information script.
# - www.rachelp.nl / GRID-IT
#
# -> 1.1 added "-o ConnectTimeout=5" when node is down -script hang otherwise!

#set -x -v
#exec >> /tmp/master_node.log 2>&1

ORA_CRS_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh
NODES=`$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/olsnodes`
HIGHEST_HOSTNAME=""
HIGHEST_VALUE=0

for I in $NODES
do
CURRENT_HOSTNAME=$I
CURRENT_VALUE=`$SSH -o ConnectTimeout=5 $I grep clssgmEstablishMasterNode $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/$I/cssd/ocssd.l* | tail -1 | tr -d CSSD] | awk '{print $2 $3}' | tr -d ':.-'`
if [[ $(( $(echo $CURRENT_VALUE ) - $(echo $HIGHEST_VALUE ) )) > 0 ]] ;
then
HIGHEST_VALUE=$CURRENT_VALUE
HIGHEST_HOSTNAME=$CURRENT_HOSTNAME
fi
done
MASTERNODE=`$SSH $HIGHEST_HOSTNAME grep clssgmEstablishMasterNode $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/$HIGHEST_HOSTNAME/cssd/ocssd.l* | tail -1 | awk '{print $11}' | tr -d 'node()'`
echo "Masternode is node with number: $MASTERNODE"
$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/olsnodes -n 

Modified script output in a case when iis2 node is down looks like:

[oracle CRS@iis4 ~]$ master
ssh: connect to host iis2 port 22: No route to host
Masternode is node with number: 1
iis1      1
iis2      2
iis3      3
iis4      4
[oracle CRS@iis4 ~]$

Hope this helps someone. Cheers!
