1) the archived log are not sent int M:\ but in M:\MVDBCG\ARCHIVELOG\2009_10_30\
With another format (example : 01_MF_1_776_5GODO2N0_.ARC)

What I can do to make the system using correctly my pfile ?

2) I've a RMAN catalog and I cannot backup archived logs because the system is still looking for the old folder where I was keeping archived logs. It seems to that it doesn't care about the new destination set in the pfile.

Someone can help me ? please find atteched my pfile.

Thanks in advance.

1. After create spfile again create pfile from spfile.

2. As per your requirement change db setting using 

ALTER SYSTEM SET <<DB PARAMETER>> = <<VALUE>> SCOPE=SPFILE/PFILE SID=*;

You never respond to the old postings with what we asked you to do.
Instead keep opening new threads with newer issues.
Should this continue, there is no point in trying to respond your posts.
As said before multiple times, fix your SPILE.

>>create spfile from pfile='mvdbcgpfile.ora';
will create spfile in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs instead of in shared area.
use
create spfile='+myASMarea/../' from pfile='/path';

shutdown.
Now edit the initsid.ora in all nodes, remove the entries and add

SPFILE='/path_to_spfile'

This way, both init.ora in both nodes will now point to same spfile in asm.
Now startup individually or using srvctl

Thank you for your help but It doesn't work.

So, I've one question : I think when I'm using oracle parameter like USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST I cannot specify a log_archive_format and Flash Recovery Area Location is use but completing by oracle's folders

Excuse me Mahesh,

I just read your mail now.
I've tried your idea and It's working.
But I'm obliged now to start my instance one by one using this syntax :

startup pfile='mvdbcgpfile.ora';

is it possible to start it a automatically using just a STARTUP command ?

Regards

startup from sql*plus will start only the local instance identified by ORACLE_SID.
Try using srvctl.
Provided you have configured your RAC properly srvctl should work.

Also,

>> but It doesn't work.
is not a clear response ( apart from fact that we have no Idea whom you are responding to or to which post) as there are several issues that are addressed.
Quote and respond.
Explain/post session for what is not working.
And please use CODE tags.

>>I don't speak english
Same for most of folks here. I am bilingual at home and English is not among the two. Language is not a barrier here.
Please use CODE and QUOTE appropriately for better readability.
See the difference between your code and ours (mine and gentlebabu).

First, make sure your SPFILE is working.
Do this in your local node1.
export ORACLE_SID=myInstance1.ora
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup

If above works for both nodes (with appropriate ORACLE_SID), spfile is visible on both nodes.

On each node, $ORACLE_HOME/log/name_of_node/racg directory will
have several log files.
First look into node1 and post only the relevant, latest error messsage (instead of whole file).
Particularly post the latest messages from
$ORACLE_HOME/log/your_host/racg/ora.database_name.instance_name1.inst.log

In your case it would be it
$ORACLE_HOME/log/cgtierdb01/racg/ora.MVDBCG.MVDBCG1.inst.log  
and
$ORACLE_HOME/log/cgtierdb01/racg/imon<yourDBname>.log

Post only last few relevant lines

I believe you still have issues with spfile.
Start both instances manually (using sqlplus ) from specific nodes and look for spfile in ASM.

First, 
set ORACLE_SID=mvdbcg1.ora

that was my mistake.
Sorry about that.
It is supposed to be (in node1 and mvdbcg2 in node 2)

set ORACLE_SID=mvdbcg1


From logs
 SQL> ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified


Quote:
db_recovery_file_dest string M:\

Is that a real shared area?
Seems not.
Create FRA inside asm and ignore log_archive_format.

Even before attempting to backup RAC/enable archiving, I would first stabilize the rac.
Remove all archive logging, log destinations, FRA etc.
Just try to open the database in RAC mode without these.
Later you can add them.

Is that your ORACLE_SID?
In unix, it is case sensitive. Not sure about windows.

Thanks Mahesh

For node1, instance name = mvdbcg1
For node2, instance name = mvdbcg2
global instance name = mvdbcg

M:\ are in SAN storage.

You're right, I need to stabilize RAC before.
