RE: Question on starting up Oracle with "startup force"

Alex,
We are currently at 3.5 MP4 and it does not use "startup force". I am following up with Veritas to see why it was changed.

Thanks
Amir

Amir,

True - it has nothing to do with another machine and nor shutdown abort nor startup force clean anything on another node.

FYI, I thinkg we have changed startup to startup force even in VCS 3.5 as this is more secure in a way that if instance is left in some fancy state (whatever processes left hanging around and etc.) startup force has more chances to succeed. So unless you have specific concerns I would leave startup force - it's cleaner.

Regards,
Alex
