RAC reboot

Question

Hi Folks,
I have a RAC 10g database running on two separate machines x1 with instance1 and x2 with instance2 having sun solaris installed on both. I do have a physical standby database configured with instance1.
Theres an activity for server reboot of machine x1.
Please suggest me the steps which should be performed on database(s) before server reboot is done and later again to restart the DB.
Your early response is appreciated.

I found Krishnas aproach somewhat helpful. but finally i got the solution from few oracel docs.
BTW,
Disable standby archiving writing at production node1SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer scope = both sid = 'instance1';
Disable auto recovery at standby DR databaseSQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
The entire database can be stopped usingsrvctl stop database –d instance (from any prod RAC node)
reboot the node1 with OS comands.
srvctl start database –d instance (from any DC RAC node)
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE THROUGH ALL SWITCHOVER DISCONNECT
Enable standby archive writing at production database instance1SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=enable scope = both sid = 'instance1’;
