1- Edit /etc/oratab

$ vi /etc/oratab

"/etc/oratab" 24 lines, 765 characters
#
# This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh
# and updated by the Database Configuration Assistant when creating
# a database.
# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates
# the entry. Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.
#
# Entries are of the form:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME::
#
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
#
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
#
#
ORABCKP:/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0:N <-------- will be Y

(ORABCKP:/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0:Y)
~

2- Create a script under /sbin/init.d

$vi /sbin/init.d/oracle

#!/sbin/sh
#
# @(#)
#
# NOTE: This script is not configurable! Any changes made to this
# scipt will be overwritten when you upgrade to the next
# release of HP-UX.
#
# WARNING: Changing this script in any way may lead to a system that
# is unbootable. Do not modify this script.
#
# NOTE:
# For ORACLE:
#
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin
export PATH
ORA_HOME="/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0"
ORA_OWNR="oracle"
rval=0
set_return() {
x=$?
if [ $x -ne 0 ]; then
echo "EXIT CODE: $x"
rval=1
fi
}

case $1 in
start)
# Oracle listener and instance startup
echo -n "Starting Oracle: "
su - $ORA_OWNR -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0"
echo "OK DB started"
;;
stop)
# Oracle listener and instance shutdown
echo -n "Shutdown Oracle: "
su - $ORA_OWNR -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0"
echo "OK DB shutdown"
;;
reload|restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
;;
esac

exit $rval


3- Decide the runlevel and create soft links for the script we created.

Under /sbin/rc3.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/oracle S999oracle

Under /sbin/rc1.d and /sbin/rc2.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/oracle K9oracle
