My Oracle 12c 3-node RAC says it is up and running but I cannot connect as a normal user to my PDBs. Getting this "ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress" error.

# I can stop my Container DB and start it.

[oracle@orarac3 admin]$ srvctl status database -d cdb12c
Instance cdb12c1 is running on node orarac3
Instance cdb12c2 is running on node orarac5
Instance cdb12c3 is running on node orarac4

# Then I can connect as SYS and no errors, but get an error when trying to connect to my PDBs as a normal user.
