11.2.0.3.0, RHEL5.6, RAC 8 nodes
Has anyone seen it happen where an instance is running on two nodes (at least, 
the same instance name).

We're been doing firmware upgrades. As I brought up nodes I noticed that I had 
two instances running on multiple nodes. I wouldn't have thought that was 
possible? I shut them down and wish I had done a sqlplus to see what 
v$instance/v$database showed.

When I shut down the instance on the second node it was, the instance shutdown 
on both nodes. These seems like it shouldn't be able to happen, and the fact 
that it did seems a bit scary.

Node4:
oracle   16560     1  0 Sep07 ?        00:01:27 asm_pmon_+ASM4
oracle   18338     1  0 Sep07 ?        00:01:32 ora_pmon_rdvrprd_4
(oracle) flux-rac-node-ch2-04:rdvrprd_4:/home/oracle
(here is where I did the stop instance on node6)
