$ srvctl stop database -d cobra

3. Mount tha database using one of the instance:

$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"


SQL> startup mount

4. Enable archivelog using following command:

5. Re-enable clustering putting instance parameter cluster_database to TRUE from the current instance:

SQL> alter system set cluster_database=true scope=spfile sid='ORCL1';
