Explanation: The database has experienced some kind of failure and is prohibiting further operations until it can attempt a recovery (similar to what happens after a power failure).
Possible Cause: There are components of the system that have the database open, and the system is waiting for those components to relinquish access so a recovery can be started.
Action: As soon as all components have relinquished access, recovery will be automatically attempted. However, it might take several minutes for all components to relinquish access.
