Solution for Oracle Error ORA-38853

ORA-38853: cannot mark instance string (redo thread string

) as disabled

What triggered the Error:

The standby switchover or failover operation failed because it needs to mark an instance (redo thread) as disabled. That instance was up, which prevented it from being disabled.

What should we do to fix it:

Shut down the specified instance and retry this command.
