You get this when another process has a lock on the file. Are you sure your shutdown was clean?

Hi Listers,

Oracle 8174, HP 11.00

I got the following error when starting up the database thru crontab job at 2 am in the morning. It happened after we shutdown the unix machine.

Errors in file /u07/app/oracle/admin/sfmsprod/bdump/dbw0_1705_sfmsprod.trc:

ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 13 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 13: '/u05/oradata/sfmsprod/fmidx_02.dbf'
ORA-27086: skgfglk: unable to lock file - already in use

HP-UX Error: 46: No locks available

I increased the nflocks parameter from 200 to 1000 as Metablink said. But still got the error.
Any idea why ?
At 8 am when I get in the office, I startup the database manually and everything
was OK.

Thanks.
Rivaldi
