Hi Sami, I was hitting a very similar issue on 9.2.0.4 on linux (non RAC). I posted a similar problem on this list and I got some very interesting answers. IIRC it seems that the only solution is to drop the old undo tablespace(s) (after a clear shutdown and startup in order to be sure that none needs undo info from the old tablespace). Hope it helps, Giovanni On 3/16/06, Sami Seerangan <dba.orcl@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 2 Node RAC,9.2.0.6, Sun OS 2.8 > > We created new undo tablespaces (UNDO3, UNDO4) for each node1 and > node2 respectively and changed default undo tablespace to UNDO3 and > UNDO4.
