CHANGES

 datafiles add to system Tablespace by mistake on the local Node instead of shared diskgroup

 This is expected as it is RAC DB and it suppose to create the new Datafile on the shared disk no on the local node

when user  add data file using

 SQL> alter tablespace system add datafile 'FRA' SIZE 250M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 50M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;

its add the datafile in the default OMG location db_create_file_dest

SQL> show parameter db_create_file_dest

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_create_file_dest                  string

and when it is Null the default locaion $OH/dbs

SOLUTION

Copy the created Datafile to the shared Disk Group

please note that the DB must be in the archive mode .
