Problem:
After a manual database upgrade from 12c to 19c, I was not able to start database instance using srvctl.
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ srvctl start instance -db orcl -n rac1
PRCD-1027 : Failed to retrieve database orcl
PRCD-1229 : An attempt to access configuration of database orcl was rejected because its version 12.2.0.1.0 differs from the program version 19.0.0.0.0. Instead run the program from /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1.
Solution:
Use srvctl upgrade
from new home:
$ /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/bin/srvctl upgrade database -d orcl -oraclehome /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1
Try to start again:
$ srvctl start instance -db orcl -n rac1
