Re: dbwr and lgwr don't shutdown

I apologize.. Let me re-state the problem

1. v880 and 2 e4500 (nodes) are connected ot same storage via fibre hubs in Arbitraded Loops, so this is an old SAN
2. each node controls different disks via Veritas Volume Manager
3. each node is capable of running each other's databases. Databases/disks are grouped, and groups can be swung over by Veritas Cluster server
4. e4500 run solaris 7
5. v880 is running solaris 8 (it can't run 7)
6. the file system is vxfs

This is a 'cluster', but there is always a once instance of a database. The only 'cluster' thing about it, is that instances can fail over if node/host fails.

e4500 has no problem opening/closing the TEST database (oracle_sid=TEST). The V880 has problems.. but didn't have problems earlier.. this happenned after we upgraded OBP on the server.. but the machine had too many issues prior to that, so we are currently rebuilding the box.
