Copy and paste your session, don't describe it.
Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter).
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

If you use spfile, you don't need to transit by pfile.

Michel

You didn't restart with the spfile you modified.

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter) and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

How did you do it the first time?
Put "spfile=..." in your init.ora file or use "startup spfile=...".

First time I am creating the database with shell script.But now I want to create new script for changing parameter.I am following the steps while creating the database.
1) startup mount pfile="/opt/oracle/BAM/02120007/config/BAM217Linit.ora";
2) create spfile='+BAMDATA1/BAM_217H/spfileBAM217H.ora' FROM pfile='/opt/oracle/BAM/02120007/config/BAM217Hinit.ora';
3) shutting down the database and restarting.

How should I know the instance name if I want to change the parameter in ASM environment?

If I run the below command,

SQL> startup spfile='+BAMDATA1/bam_217l/spfilebam217l.ora'
SP2-0714: invalid combination of STARTUP options

How should I know the spfile path?
