    U should use ONLY x$ tables for this query,
    because if instance not in OPEN mode and oracle can't read from SYSTEM tablespace yet.
    Oracle can't use v$fixed_view_definition for works with v$instance fixed view.

    select ks.inst_id,decode(ksuxssts,0,'STARTED',1,'MOUNTED',2,'OPEN','UNKNOWN'),
    decode(ksuxsarc,0,'STOPPED',1,'STARTED','FAILED'),
    decode(ksuxslsw,0,NULL,2,'ARCHIVE LOG',3,'CLEAR LOG',4,'CHECKPOINT'),
    decode(kvitval,0,'ACTIVE',2147483647,'SUSPENDED','INSTANCE RECOVERY'),
    decode(ksuxsrol,1,'PRIMARY_INSTANCE',2,'SECONDARY_INSTANCE','UNKNOWN')
    from
    x$ksuxsinst ks, x$kvit kv
    where kvittag = 'kcbwst';

    Thanks Pando.
    In this case oracle keep some of definitions of V$ tables as part of software code and view V$FIXED_VIEW_DEFINITION is nothing.
    Oracle instance can use another structure of V$ tables, as part of hard code.
