Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE : Database Down, can you help???
Steve,
Looks like your database is in a mess. It's likely to be in the
memory, so try a startup force, and if it fails a shutdown abort. If it
_still_ fails, I would reach for my bazooka and ipcrm shared memory
segments, semaphores and everything used by Oracle since you no longer
have any process. Oracle equivalent of a machine reboot. Normally it
should then startup properly.
You should check in your bdump directory if some background process has
not left something behind before dying.
