Hello,
I performed Shutdown Immediate in Oracle 8I and now I am unable to mount the database.
Im getting the following message: ORA-01102 Cannot mount database in Exclusive mode
I only have one database running on this machine. It was automatically created by Oracle installer upon installation of Oracle software. I can no longer connect via SQL * Plus,
Only through Server Manager (connect internal) Please advice on how to fix this. I am new at this so detailed advise is highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kira

The above prob. is caused if you either attempt to mount two Oracle8i databases with the same database name or u issue the startup mount cmd. when the database is already mounted. restarting the machine will more often solve this prob.If ur setup does not allow u to shutdown ur machinethen try using a startup force...more options depend on ur OS..If the above is not enuff....write more info giving details of ur config. e.g. OS etc...

A database is started in EXCLUSIVE mode by default. Therefore, the
ORA-01102 error is misleading and may have occurred due to one of the
following reasons:
- there is still an "sgadef<sid>.dbf" file in the "ORACLE_HOME/dbs"
directory
- the processes for Oracle (pmon, smon, lgwr and dbwr) still exist
- shared memory segments and semaphores still exist even though the
database has been shutdown
- there is a "ORACLE_HOME/dbs/lk<sid>" file
The "lk<sid>" and "sgadef<sid>.dbf" files are used for locking shared memory.
It seems that even though no memory is allocated, Oracle thinks memory is
still locked. By removing the "sgadef" and "lk" files you remove any knowledge
oracle has of shared memory that is in use. Now the database can start.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Verify that the database was shutdown cleanly by doing the following:
1. Verify that there is not a "sgadef<sid>.dbf" file in the directory
"ORACLE_HOME/dbs".
% ls $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/sgadef<sid>.dbf
If this file does exist, remove it.
% rm $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/sgadef<sid>.dbf
2. Verify that there are no background processes owned by "oracle"
% ps -ef | grep ora_ | grep $ORACLE_SID
If background processes exist, remove them by using the Unix
command "kill". For example:
% kill -9 <Process_ID_Number>
3. Verify that no shared memory segments and semaphores that are owned
by "oracle" still exist
% ipcs -b
If there are shared memory segments and semaphores owned by "oracle",
remove the shared memory segments
% ipcrm -m <Shared_Memory_ID_Number>
and remove the semaphores
% ipcrm -s <Semaphore_ID_Number>
NOTE: The example shown above assumes that you only have one
database on this machine. If you have more than one
database, you will need to shutdown all other databases
before proceeding with Step 4.
4. Verify that the "$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/lk<sid>" file does not exist
5. Startup the instance
good luck,

Hi friends,
I have came across same sort of error conditions.
But after killing all oracle related processes and removing semaphores and deleting the lk<SID> file from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
it really works.
while starting i have used a different INIT.ora file.
and used
sql> startup nomount;
sql>alter database mount;
sql>alter database open;
hope this will help.
