ORA-16649: possible failover to another database prevents this database from being opened

We have two node primary & standby RAC. It is in sync and i have to split the primary database & standby database.

I have shutdown the primary database and went to the standby database server.

I logged in as DGMGRL and performed a fail over to the standby. Now the standby database become a primary database. Once i complete the failover; i have disabled the DG configuration using the DG broker.

When i try to started the old primary which i have shutdown before performing a failover to the standby. I got a error message saying  “ORA-16649: possible failover to another database prevents this database from being opened”

SQL> startup force

ORA-16649: possible failover to another database prevents this database from being opened

WHEN I CHECKED THE DB ROLE; it is primary

SQL> select database_role from v$database;

DATABASE_ROLE

----------------

PRIMARY

Then i managed to find that database control file get the information from the DG broker config file. So i have disable the config file on the primary database.

SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start=false scope=both sid='*';

System altered.

-         After disabling the DG broker; i can able to open the database without any issue.

SQL> alter database open;

Database altered.
