How to Resolve PRCT-1562 : The startup of instances for database are still in progress

PRCT-1562 or PRCT-01562

Saw an error PRCT-1562 or PRCT-01562 when I tried to start a RAC database.

[oracle@primary01 ~]$ srvctl start database -d orclcdb -o open
PRCT-1562 : The startup of instances "ORCLCDB1" for database "ora.orclcdb.db" are still in progress

PRCT-1562 or PRCT-01562 means that srvctl start database command has timed out, while one of your instances is still in progress, please wait for the instances to start up.

Please note that, the error code does not mean that your operation failed, it just needs more time to complete. Meanwhile, you can check its status at grid level.

[grid@primary01 ~]$ crsctl stat res ora.orclcdb.db -t

                                                             racle/product/19.0.0
                                                             /db_1,STABLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a while, we saw all instances of the RAC database are running.

[oracle@primary01 ~]$ srvctl status database -d orclcdb
Instance ORCLCDB1 is running on node primary01
Instance ORCLCDB2 is running on node primary02

In my opinion, PRCT-1562 seems a message rather than an error, but you should beware of that.
