Cannot start resource ‘ora.ctssd’ as it is already in the INTERMEDIATE state on server

This CRS-2800 error is related to the database resource is in INTERMEDIATE state with Restricted Access.

 

$ crsctl stat res ora.<database>.db -t
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME TARGET STATE SERVER STATE_DETAILS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cluster Resources
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ora.<database>.db
1 ONLINE INTERMEDIATE <hostname1> Restricted Access
2 ONLINE INTERMEDIATE <hostname2> Restricted Access
$

 

 

 

Get the database resource out of “INTERMEDIATE” state, in this case, disable restricted access:

 

1)Disable the restricted session on all the DB instances:

 

SQL> alter system disable restricted session;

2)Start the service

 

$ srvctl start service -s <service> -d <database>

3)Check the service status

 

$ srvctl status service -s <service> -d <database>
Service <service> is running on instance(s) <instance1>,<instance2>
