It means either you have not set the proper ORACLE_SID
or
the instance referred by ORACLE_SID is down.

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /opt/InfoVista/oracle/product/10.2/ne
twork/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.233.225.134)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
)
)

IVDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /opt/InfoVista/oracle/product/10.2/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

Check your ORACLE_HOME too. You are sure the database is running (ie. ps -ef | grep ivdb ) ?

In this case, listener.ora & tnsnames.ora don't have an affect.

It appears the the database is running.

What is the output of env | grep ORA.

You need to ensure your ORACLE_SID & ORACLE_HOME are set appropriately.

Do you know if the database was started with a different ORACLE_HOME ?

What is the output of ps -ef | grep tns ?

That's strange...maybe I'm totally missing something.

Can you connect to the database as:

sqlplus sys/<sys_password>@IVDB as sysdba

and then run the following:

SQL> oradebug setmypid
SQL> oradebug ipc
SQL> oradebug tracefile_name

Can you post the first 15-20 lines of the trace file that gets generated ?
