On Sun this error is almost always an indication that the number of semaphores set in /etc/system is too low.

To test this: reduce the processes parameter in the init.ora to a very small number (10 or 20) and try again to bring up the database. If it starts, you need to increase semaphores. If it doesn't, check that there are no other databases running.... if there are, shut them down and try to start this one again.

If that doesn't work... call Support
