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.-----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 3:36 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L How do you rename files in RAC databases? When dealing with single instance db 1. shutdown 2. startup mount 3. copy file to new location using OS util. 4. 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.
