Lots of things are working as they should be, so I'd like to go back to the simple stand-alone DB: drop the CRS and start again. Any pointers? I'd rather not just re-create the VM guest (which is a possibility), but go through the steps required to remove CRS, bring up the DB and then start again. Its just an exercise to get me back into the operations DBA realm (from development DBA (Infranet/BRM)) Regards Tony -- Thomas Roach 813-404-6066 troach@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:troach@xxxxxxxxx>
