I am trying to RAC an EBIZ suit environment 10.2.0.3 on Itanium. The
listeners created successfully on both nodes. The database currently
exists on only one. We are attempting to create a single instance rac and
then add an instance on the second node. RCONFIG is failing with ORA-00304
INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy. The docs say bring up the instance in the RACed
home, and the pfile generated has no instance_number parameter specified.
The alert log shows it trying to reuse 0, but if you leave the db down,
rconfig fails with instance not running. Anyone else run into (and
resolve) this?
