So, we ran into a nasty bug last night. We are running 10g (various releases)
RAC on 3 or 4 node clusters. In this particular configuration we had a 4 node
cluster, with an instance for this database on each node. 2 instances were
active, two were configured but not running.
DBA went to make redo log adjustments (adding a new group) and database
crashed. There is a bug in 10g (and apparently 11g) with respect to this kind
of configuration. If you are running an active/passive kind of RAC
configuration, you will want to read up on the bug. Be very careful making any
online redo log changes if you are running in such an environment.
Metalink bug number is 6786022 and it's public. We understand patch is in QA to
correct. There is also an event you can set to avoid the problem. See the bug
on Metalink for more information.
I'll also be posting a copy of this on my Blog...
Cheers to all!

The LDS Church is looking for DBA's. You do have to be a Church member in
good standing. A lot of kind people write me, concerned I may be breaking
the law by saying you have to be a Church member. It's legal I promise! :-)
