what changed?

Oracle is too dumb to lie about reported error

[[email protected] ~]$ oerr  ora 304

00304, 00000, "requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy"

// *Cause:  An instance tried to start by using a value of the

//          initialization parameter INSTANCE_NUMBER that is already in use.

// *Action: Either

//       a) specify another INSTANCE_NUMBER,

//       b) shut down the running instance with this number

//       c) wait for instance recovery to complete on the instance with

//          this number.
