Make sure that your oracle service is stopped and started correctly. If you can't mount the database, it may be that your oracle service has started incorrectly and is holding locks on the files that your instance needs in order for it to mount.

Then check the alert log for more information.

I am trying to learn RMAN using the Oracle Backup & Recovery 101 book.

I keep running into the error below.
ORA-01102 cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode

This is on an NT server. I can't see that the database is already up. Never had this problem before.

Any ideas?
