其实只要
rac1-> srvctl status database -d devdb
能启动，说明数据库没问题．
据说这个是个BUG。

Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 8.0.6 to 11.1.0.6
This problem can occur on any platform.
Symptoms
While connecting bequeath to a running instance the following message appears :
$ export ORACLE_SID=test
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Jun 6 12:17:14 2007
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to an idle instance.

The "test" instance was running and this was verified with the ps command:
$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle 9714 1 0 May28 ? 00:00:07 ora_pmon_test
oracle 32635 1 0 May30 ? 00:00:01 ora_pmon_orcl115b
Furthermore the test instance can be started up:
$ export ORACLE_SID=test
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Jun 6 12:17:14 2007

The alert.log was immediately written with the informations pertaining to the startup of the operation. When a log switch was performed in the "real" test instance (within a SQL*NET connection) then the alert.log was appended with the corresponding informations. So at that point on the system there were two instances "test" running from the same Oracle Home
$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle 9714 1 0 May28 ? 00:00:07 ora_pmon_test
oracle 32635 1 0 May30 ? 00:00:01 ora_pmon_orcl115b
oracle 10382 1 0 12:27 ? 00:00:00 ora_pmon_test
Cause
The issue was caused by a wrong setting of the ORACLE_HOME environment variable used when starting up the instance. This can be easily discovered if one checks the values of the environment variables set within the background processes of the first "test" instance started :
$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle 9714 1 0 May28 ? 00:00:07 ora_pmon_test
oracle 32635 1 0 May30 ? 00:00:01 ora_pmon_orcl115b
oracle 10382 1 0 12:27 ? 00:00:00 ora_pmon_test

$ORACLE_HOME of the old test instance points to "ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product//10.2.0/db_1" . Note the double slash ("//".
whereas $ORACLE_HOME of the new test instance points to "ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1"
ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME are used to generate the IDs of the shared memory segments for the SGA. When using a different ORACLE_HOME value a different ID will get generated and since this does not match any of the existing segments' IDs it is assumed that this is a new idle instance.
The above example shows how to get the environment variables for a process running on Linux. In order to get these variables for other platforms please read Note 373303.1-How to Check the Environment Variables for an Oracle Process
Solution
Shutdown the instance and start it up from an OS session where all the environment variables are correctly set. If the instance is to be started via SRVCTL make sure that all the CRS configuration files are using a correct value for the ORACLE_HOME.
-OR-
If the running instance can't be shutdown set the ORACLE_HOME to the value found in the envrionment variables set of the running instance.
