Re: O816 Startup Fails

Hi,

maybe ORA-204 should be read ORA-00204: A disk I/O failure was detected on reading the control file; i.e. control file lost?

If that's the case:
startup nomount
create controlfile...(if you're lucky you generated a copy of your controlfile with alter database backup controlfile to trace - file contains the proper create controlfile statement; if you don't have a backup consult your documentation for correct syntax)
alter database mount
alter database open

maybe that you must recover your database before mounting (recover database - archived redo logs available?) if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate

You should mirror your controlfiles - modify your init.ora
