 (NORMAL|QUIESCING|QUIESCED).  
NORMAL indicates the database is in a normal state.  
QUIESCING indicates that the ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED statement has been issued: no new user transactions, queries, or PL/SQL statements are processed in this instance. User transactions, queries, or PL/SQL statements issued before the ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED statement are unaffected. DBA transactions, queries, or PL/SQL statements are also unaffected.  
QUIESCED indicates that the ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED statement has been issued: no user transactions, queries, or PL/SQL statements are processed. DBA transactions, queries, or PL/SQL statements are unaffected. User transactions, queries, or PL/SQL statements issued after the ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED statement are not processed.  
Note that a single ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED statement quiesces all instances in an Oracle9i Real Application Clusters environment. After this statement has been issued, some instances may enter into a quiesced state before other instances; the system is quiesced when all instances enter the quiesced state.
