Re: Question on RAC user-managed recovery


It's just part of the way that RAC works.

You have three nodes that are independent; they re-synchronize their SCNs very frequently - but
in principle could delay re-synchronization for about
3 seconds. So if you happened to have three transactions
take place one the three separate nodes just after a
re-synch, then all three nodes would have to commit
at the same SCN.

Subject: Question on RAC user-managed recovery


Folks,
I am running some time-based database instance recovery tests in the lab
on a three-node RAC environment. The following command was issued from
one RAC instance while the others were down. I am trying to understand
the way the change number (change 7286467501233) is being displayed on
the first line of each of the first three threads below. Why is this
number common here? After that, this number is distinct in each
subsequent archived log file. I would appreciate if someone can
explain/clarify it for me.

Thank you
Amir
