Hi
The single instance does use same ORACLE_HOME. My doubt is however why the single instance failed when RAC was still up and running? What can cause LMON process terminated with error?
Cheers
Does your "single instance" use the same ORACLE_HOME as that of RAC? Then the software is RAC-aware, communicates with clusterware etc. You may use non-RAC home. On unix it is simple - just make a copy of ORACLE_HOME, change the environment (ORACLE_HOME and dependants) and relink oracle executable $ export ORACLE_HOME=new_oracle_home # don't forget other environment variables $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle rac_off
