Symptoms

On a 4 node RAC cluster, database services are running on the wrong instances after instance restart.

Consider the following service configuration:

The service '<DATABASE_NAME2>' was running on all 4 instances when it should have been running on instance 2 (<INSTANCE2>) only.

This caused user sessions to be connected to the wrong instances, leading to load problems.

The same happened for another service (<DATABASE_NAME3>).

Changes

All instances had been restarted during maintenance window.
