ORA-01638: parameter string does not allow ORACLE version string to mount cluster database




Cause: The recovery compatible parameter is set too low to allow this software version to mount in cluster database mode.




Action: Either use an earlier software release or advance the recovery_compatible parameter. If this happens when no recovery_compatible parameter has been specified then set it to the current software release.
