ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

Hi Listers,

What could be the problem?? I'm getting the following error while connecting to the database on Solaris 8.

ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory

Thanks to all

Best Regards

Munish Bajaj
