Hi all,

Ok, I think I found the problem with my single node rac instance, and it isn't the CRS.

I found in the logs:

ORA-19815: WARNING: db_recovery_file_dest_size of 51539607552 bytes is 100.00% used, and has 0 remaining bytes available.

************************************************************************
You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
DELETE EXPIRED commands.

Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/ISPGRID/bdump/ispgrid1_arc0_8368.trc:
ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files

ARC0: Error 19809 Creating archive log file to '+RECOVERYDG'
ARCH: Archival stopped, error occurred. Will continue retrying


I've tried firing up RMAN to do a backup recovery area;

However, I can't seem to get the instance to start up long enough for me to connect to via RMAN, and try to fix anything.

Any suggestions?
