I finally tracked it down. It was trying to create a directory
/oracle/app/audit/TEST1. Not sure why, since the audit directory is
defined as /oracle/app/audit/TEST in the spfile, and it is using that
directory, since once the instance came up, the audit_dump_dest was
correctly defined. And the problem only ocurred on instance one. Really
strange. Anyway, it is fixed.

I am getting a strange error when I am trying to switchover to my standby

It looks like it is trying to create a directory, but I cannot figure out
what directory it is trying to creat. I expect its a simple ownership
problem, but I cannot figure out what directory I need to work on. I tried
setting the trace level to support in dgmgrl, but it didnt show the
information I needed. Any ideas?
