How to Solve Rac ORA-01102 error: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode

The following error occurs when starting an Oracle 11g RAC database. Only one of the nodes (rac01) can be started, and the other node cannot be started (rac02). This may be caused by a previous change to the cluster_database parameter. In Oracle RAC architecture this parameter must be set to TRUE.

When executing startup, the error message: ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode

Solution:

rac01 node:
