In a RAC (11gR2) environment, when I run crsctl, I get back that two of my instances are in "Immediate shutdown" mode. However the instances seem to be ok.This report is unchanged for the last day or so.


Can someone explain the meaning of the STATE_DETAILS column, especially since it does not seem to match that of the database.

When I am connecting to the orcl2 instance I get the following

Code:
plsql> select instance_name, status, database_status from gv$instance;

INSTANCE_NAME STATUS DATABASE_STATUS
orcl1                OPEN      ACTIVE
orcl2                OPEN      ACTIVE
orcl2                OPEN      ACTIVE

When I run crsctl I get this

Code:
%crsctl stat res -t
