RAC Backup .... Can COLD Backup of the RAC Database be Taken After Instances SHUTDOWN but with CRS UP ? ...Yes or NO ...Basic Qs

Folks

A Basic Qs

Can COLD Backup of a RAC Database(10gR2) be Taken with respective Instances SHUTDOWN but related CRS services UP?

[Command used to Shutdown the 2 instances of the DB - "srvctl stop datatabse -d TSRRAC")]

NOTE - Related CRS Services can NOT be brought down as there are Other RAC Databases/instances which need to be UP.

After SHUTDOWN of the 2 instances ONLY (NOT CRS), I am planning to Use Unix "cp" Command to COPY all the related Datafiles, Controlfiles, logfiles to another area

$ crs_stat -t Output

Name Type Target State Host
