ORA-29701 while starting up a 10g database using a 11gR2 ASM instance
I
just upgraded my non RAC 10g ASM instance to 11gR2. Everything seems to
be ok: I can see my diskgroups and even the files created in it.
However, when I start up my 10g database and try to mount it I receive
an ORA-00205 error: "ORA-00205: error in identifying control file,
check alert log for more info"
Here is the error stack:
ORA-00202: control file: '+DGORACLE/controlfile1'
ORA-17503: ksfdopn:2 Failed to open file +DGORACLE/controlfile1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DGORACLE" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15077: could not locate ASM instance serving a required diskgroup
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
