Thanks Stefan! Can it just be shut down? -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Koehler [mailto:contact@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2014 10:38 AM To: Miller, Jay; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: A nomount dbua instance sitting on our DR server? <html> Hi Jay, yes, you are right that this instance is related to DBUA (or DBCA). It is some kind of dummy instance to gather information for DBCA / DBUA. Just check the trace files in $ORALCE_BASE/cfgtoollogs and you gonna see that instance name.
