Answer from old rac guy:

Oracle does not allow RAC instances to operate with that setting. ( There is a reason I forget the details right now ).

If you need to run like that, you can ( I believe have to ) operate only one instance and set cluster_database=false.

Many of us running rac have some entries like this

cluster_database=false
rac1.cluster_database=true
rac2.cluster_database=true

If you run like this, you can shut down rac, set your ORACLE_SID to rac, and bring it up "not as RAC".

This is also helpful ( besides the parameter you are considering ) in switching database into and out of log archive mode.

But why in the first place would you want to change the parameter you are having problems with? Received on Sat Jan 28 2006 - 17:00:15 CST
