I have to confess, our database is 8.1.7, not 9.2.

And forget about gsd and srvctl - that stuff has nothing to do with RUNNING the database (but has to do with e.g. software install). Also, the parameter is cluster_database=false, parallel_server was for OPS back in Oracle8i, which (as everybody knows:-) is completely different from RAC.

In the end, all you need to do is to startup single instance (cluster_database=false) in mount mode while you do the rename.

Well, "rename file" actually updates the control file, so as long as

the control file is accessible to all nodes, all instances should know

about it. As for the procedure, you need to mount the database in

exclusive mode (only 1 instance, by specifying "PARALLEL_SERVER=FALSE" in

the init.ora), rename the file, bring the instance down and start it up

in shared mode.

How do you rename files in RAC databases?

When dealing with single instance db

shutdown
startup mount
copy file to new location using OS util.
alter database rename file...

5 startup.

But now we have gsdctl, srvctl... So, what is the procedure

ti rename file?

We are using Tru64, so we have no raw devices.

Thanks,
