thanx a lot for the suggestion and help guys. I have done it various times but all those I had done in non-clustered environment but not the cluster one. I was planning the same step but I thought there might be some more things I may need to take care of. So I thought to discuss this in forum just to clarify my doubts which is now more or less clear. Since its active-passive so do i need to shutdown both the nodes before doing this ? because the binary is on nodes but database is on san and spfile is existing in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs folder on both the nodes. so if anyone can tell me the steps in this situation. I am thinking of doing the activity as : 1) SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
2)Modify both spfile on both the nodes as the spfile location has been left in the binary home

3)STARTUP MOUNT
4)ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG
5)ALTER DATABASE OPEN
6) ARCHIVE LOG LIST
7)Will check  V$ARCHIVE% data dictionary for the archive log information
8) SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
9)  taking cold backup.

10) STARTUP Is this step. ok????

thanx once again. and plz. do suggest
