When the Oracle instance fails. The SMON process performs instance recovery at startup using the online redo log files.

When shutdown abort happens, oracle server gets crashed. To recover from the crash, SMON will check the online Redo data files and last SCN no in the Redo log files and SCN number in the undo tablespace are same.

If yes, it performs recovery from redo log files else it rollback the values from undo tablespace.
