Hi,

you've got to copy or link the init<sid>.ora file to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora
i.e
ln -s $ORACLE_BASE/admin/<sid>/pfile/init<SID>.ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora

In $ORACLE_HOME/dbs Oracle looks for the init-file. Another option is the pfile= option, in svrmgrl/sqlplus: startup pfile=<PATH>/init<SID>.ora
