ORA-01109: database not open

Aloha!

I have created an instance on 11g R2 and about to import a dump. Upon creating a directory, I stumble upon this error;

[oracle@ole5 SBAtemp]$ sqlplus sys/Change12345@orc01 as sysdba

ORA-01109: database not open

I'm facing a problem with the Oracle 10 database. This is a RAC configuration and live system. After restarting the CRS in both servers, the database does not go to OPEN:

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only

SQL> select status from V$instance;

STATUS

MOUNTED

If you run manually either:

SQL> alter database open;

or

SQL> startup force;

The instances go OPEN and everything works normally, but if you restart the CRS again, the same problem, the database does not go to OPEN.

I guess something is missing/wrong in an Oracle conf file...

This is the command to set the database to opened:

# srvctl config database -d -a
