Restricted mode in rac

Question

Hi, in our RAC environment, we are enabling egach instance in RESTRICT mode to block incoming connections. But we need specific users to login with restricted session privilege. This is okay with single instance, but with RAC, all users cannot connect. What should be the problem? Thanks

Answer 1

It works just fine with me in 11.2.0.4. My instances are in restricted mode and yet I can connect locally.
SQL> select instance_number,logins
  2  from gv$instance;
INSTANCE_NUMBER LOGINS
              1 RESTRICTED        <== both instances in restricted mode.
              2 RESTRICTED
SQL> exit           <== exit from sqlplus

So it works in 11.2.0.4 just fine. I'll ask one more time.... "please post the exact steps taken and the exact error messages." Otherwise I can't be of much help.
Cheers,
