The status of the undo space distribution reported by DBA_UNDO_EXTENTS is correct for the undo tablespace that is active on the instance on which DBA_UNDO_EXTENTS is queried.However, due to the use of in-memory information that is different on each instance, there can be a discrepancy in the status of the undo spacedistribution of undo tablespaces active on other instances when queried fromone instance. This does not affect undo functionality and is only a reportingdiscrepancy for other instances' undo tablespace space distribution status. Asa best practice, query the space distribution for an undo tablespace from theinstance on which it is active.
