Hello. On my 2 node home RAC on 32 bit CentOS Linux, I had a crash on one of the nodes. Afterwards, I am not able to start my database from either of the nodes. In alert log, I find that, it is not able to do instance crash recovery because of a corrupt block in redo log. (ORA-1172). Is there something you can suggest to get the DB back up?I don't have a back up of the database. Here is the alert log snippet.
