ORA-01172: recovery of thread 2 stuck at block 224 of file 4

Error ORA-01172 should not come in ideal database It comes when database crashes(all RAC instances crashes) and automatic database crash recovery fails. Oracle first tries to recover with parallels slaves [ as default parallel recovery option is low, if it also fails then it tries serial recovery and it it also fails then gives below message. Instance is not terminated at the end of failed recovery. ]Remedy is to apply recover command manually so that oracle can apply ACTIVE and CURRENT redo logs of all threads. In below case simple recover command did job. [it did not prompt for any redo log file to apply] If you are unlucky (your database is not in archivelog mode and you do not have older but recent archive logs) then recover database or recover database until cancel command won't help you as oracle falsely wants older log sequence to be applied which is not visible in v$log.  Below is lucky one. Unlucky case will be posted sooner.
