Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Cannot start database (already running)
Oracle 8.0.5
Solaris 2.6
HA Cluster 2.1
This is wacky.
Any ideas on this one (other than reboot the box)???
I cannot start up this database (claims it's already running).
Clearly it is not. No background processes for this instance. The only
process I see even remotely related to this database is the oracledesi
process. (I don't know what that process is.)
I do have a semaphore set for oracle. Should I remove it? (I normally have other databases on this box, but I've shut them all down.)
This database worked fine till a network device was ripped out from under it, and the HA stuff kicked in and failed it over.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help
