A very short post about a cool new feature I noticed today. RAC 11.2 has moved a lot of commands previously having their own syntax into crsctl. One of the cool new things is the fact that crsctl status resource -t (“tabular”) reports state details. Here I could see that my lab environment had a stuck archiver. Other state details include information about the cluster time synchronisation daemon ctss, or ASM instances. Have a look at my 4 node cluster:

[oracle@rac11gr2node2 ~]$ crsctl stat res -t
