Do you really want to change the above failures (enter YES or NO)? yes
changed 1 failures to LOW priority

By Default, Oracle11g RMAN "list failure" command lists only the critical and high priority alerts as shown below

RMAN> list failure;

List of Database Failures
=========================

Failure ID Priority Status Time Detected Summary
---------- -------- --------- ------------- -------
168 HIGH OPEN 19-MAY-11 One or more non-system datafiles are
missing
142 HIGH OPEN 19-MAY-11 One or more non-system datafiles are
offline

RMAN>

We changed the priority of failure id 148 from high to low. Hence the failure id 148 are not shown for the list failure command.


To list the low priority failures, either use "list failure all" or "list failure low" commands.

Now to change back the priority of failure id 148 to high :

RMAN> change failure 148 priority high;

List of Database Failures
=========================

Failure ID Priority Status Time Detected Summary
---------- -------- --------- ------------- -------
148 LOW OPEN 19-MAY-11 Tablespace 7: 'TEST' is offline

Do you really want to change the above failures (enter YES or NO)? yes
