I tried starting up my instance and received the error ORA-19802. Cannot use db_recovery_file_dest without db_recovery_file_dest_size. How can I resolve the problem?

reference answer:

You can always export, edit and import a pfile, even when the instance won't start like this:

SQL> create pfile = '/tmp/pfile' from spfile='+DATA/rac/spfilerac.ora';

edit the pfile with the text editor of your choice and import back:

SQL> create spfile='+DATA/rac/spfilerac.ora' from pfile='/tmp/pfile';**
