Actually, this IS the database that had=20
problems yesterday.  We had
simultaneous corruption in the head of=20
both copies of the controlfiles and all copies
of the current online redo log files.  We also=20
had this bizarre alert.log, with non-chronological
entries. =20

We're still doing the post-mortem on just what=20
the @^#%$&*$% happened, but right now, our best=20
guess is that when the connections between the two=20
nodes in the cluster got severed, that both of them
mounted the disk and they both wrote to them,=20
corrupting pretty much everything that Oracle had.

Matt, you're just plain unlucky. Did you manage to recover
That database from yesterday?  The one with corrupt redo logs?
Yesterday corrupt redo logs, today CI, your life must be very
Interesting. I can't say that I envy you, though.

Sorry, I should have explained a little better.

This is a veritas cluster (non-RAC/OPS) on solaris 8
with oracle 8.1.7.4  that failed
over from one node to another because the network=3D20 connectivity =
between
the two nodes failed.  Multiple times.
