Good day all -
I had a strange problem yesterday after the unix admin installed a new disk drive to mirror existing disk. When trying to start the database from svrmgrl or sqlplus, it would say 'database opened'. But when I try to query against it, it said database not available, which is true because from the OS level there is no oracle background processes running. Mysteriously after about 10minutes the database finally started. The unix admin said he did not do anything.
Has anybody experienced this before?
