Limitations of CSSD agent

December 9, 2025

Contributed by:

The limitations of the CSSD agent are as follows:

The CSSD agent restarts Oracle Grid Infrastructure processes that you may manually or selectively take offline outside of VCS.

Workaround: First stop the CSSD agent if operations require you to manually take the processes offline outside of VCS.

For more information, see the topic “Disabling monitoring of Oracle Grid Infrastructure processes temporarily” in the Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC Configuration and Upgrade Guide.
The CSSD agent detects intentional offline only when you stop Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure outside of VCS using the following command: crsctl stop crs [-f]. The agent fails to detect intentional offline if you stop Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure using any other command.

Workaround: Use the crsctl stop crs [-f] command to stop Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure outside of VCS.
