Re: RAC 9i - renamin files

And forget about gsd and srvctl - that stuff has nothing to do with RUNNING the database (but has to do with e.g. software install). Also, the parameter is cluster_database=false, parallel_server was for OPS back in Oracle8i, which (as everybody knows:-) is completely different from RAC.

In the end, all you need to do is to startup single instance (cluster_database=false) in mount mode while you do the rename.
