RACcheck for Single Instance Databases

Starting with RACcheck 2.2.0, RACcheck support is extended to Oracle Single Instance Databases, Oracle Restart and RAC One Node configurations. 


I downloaded the latest version of the tool and tested it against my play database. Below is a sample RACcheck output from a single instance database:



[oracle@localhost raccheck]$ ./raccheck -v

RACCHECK  VERSION: 2.2.0_20121109
[oracle@localhost raccheck]$ 
[oracle@localhost raccheck]$ 
[oracle@localhost raccheck]$ ./raccheck -a

List of running databases
1. testdb
2. None of above

Select databases from list for checking best practices. For multiple databases, select 1 for All or comma separated number like 1,2 etc [1-2][1].
