Oracle典型故障：The controlfile header block returned by the OS has a sequence number that is too old

这个是一例子客户数据库运行过程中突然报:The controlfile header block returned by the OS has a sequence number that is too old.然后数据库无法正常启动的数据库恢复case
以前处理过一些类似case:Controlfile sequence number in file header is different from the one in memory
故障现象
alert日志中报The controlfile header block returned by the OS has a sequence number that is too old.错误，然后数据库crash

********************* ATTENTION: ******************** 
 The controlfile header block returned by the OS
 has a sequence number that is too old. 
 The controlfile might be corrupted.
 PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START UP THE INSTANCE 
 without following the steps below.
 RE-STARTING THE INSTANCE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE 
 TO THE DATABASE, if the controlfile is truly corrupted.
 In order to re-start the instance safely, 
 please do the following:
 (1) Save all copies of the controlfile for later 
     analysis and contact your OS vendor and Oracle support.
 (2) Mount the instance and issue: 
     ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
 (3) Unmount the instance. 
 (4) Use the script in the trace file to
     RE-CREATE THE CONTROLFILE and open the database. 
*****************************************************
USER (ospid: 15912): terminating the instance

这个错误比较明显是由于控制文件的sequence number比较老导致，出现这种问题，一般是由于io过慢，或者底层不稳定（比如虚拟化平台，文件系统异常，硬件不稳定等）导致（官方参考文档：The controlfile header block returned by the OS has a sequence number that is too old.）

尝试重启数据库报ORA-01207错误

该错误的官方解释

[oracle@xifenfei.com ~]$ oerr ora 1207
01207, 00000, "file is more recent than control file - old control file"
// *Cause:  The control file change sequence number in the data file is 
//         greater than the number in the control file. This implies that
//         the wrong control file is being used. Note that repeatedly causing
//         this error can make it stop happening without correcting the real
//         problem. Every attempt to open the database will advance the
//         control file change sequence number until it is great enough.
// *Action: Use the current control file or do backup control file recovery to 
//         make the control file current. Be sure to follow all restrictions 
//         on doing a backup control file recovery.

由于数据文件比控制文件更新，导致该问题，通过查询v$datafile_header发现更多类似异常文件(可以使用Oracle数据库异常恢复检查脚本(Oracle Database Recovery Check)收集信息）

alert日志文件中也有明显的写错日志信息

---

这些二进制内容和监听日志内容被写入到了alert日志中，证明当时文件系统或者操作系统甚至更底层出现了异常，这个客户是运行在云平台上的，具体运营需要平台厂商才能分析

故障处理
重建控制文件并进行recover

SQL> startup nomount pfile='e:/pfile.txt' ;
ORACLE 例程已经启动。

Total System Global Area 2.9931E+10 bytes
Fixed Size                  2190296 bytes

控制文件已创建。
SQL> recover database;

完成介质恢复。

尝试启动数据库,报ora-600 2662错误

SQL> alter database open;

alter database open

第 1 行出现错误:

数据库启动报ORA-600 2662错误，这个是典型的文件头scn过小的问题,通过自研小工具Patch_SCN可以快速解决，以前类似文章:

修改scn之后，数据库顺利打开

SQL> startup mount pfile='e:/pfile.txt';
