RE: Database Using SPFile Does Not Start when Unix Box Rebooted

Create an initFAST.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.  The only entry in it
should be spfile=spfileFAST.ora.

Subject: Database Using SPFile Does Not Start when Unix Box Rebooted



I have two Oracle 9.2.0.6 databases on our AIX 5.1 box.  One of the
databases starts with a pfile, the other one starts with an spfile.  If
the database with spfile is down, I can start it up manually from
sqlplus by typing in "startup":

 

$ export ORACLE_SID=FAST

$ sqlplus '/ as sysdba'

....

Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup

ORACLE instance started.

...

 

However, when our AIX 5.1 box is restarted, this database does not start
automatically.  There exists an entry for this database in our
/etc/oratab file, and the entry specifies "Y", indicating that the
database be brought up at system boot time.  However, the database is
not brought up.  Can anybody tell me what the problem is and what I need
to do to fix it?  The database that uses a pfile does start
automatically at system boot time.

 

Thanks!
