Description

This error indicates that an attempt was made to freeze or thaw an ACFS (ASM Cluster File System) file system while the Oracle Clusterware or Grid Infrastructure is undergoing a rolling migration. During a rolling migration, the cluster's state is transitional, and operations that require a stable, consistent cluster-wide view, such as ACFS freeze/thaw, are temporarily restricted to maintain system integrity and prevent data corruption.
