Re: Oracle Database Server Died, doesn't come back up

The Oracle database noted that you are running Oracle on a RAID5 volume. Knowing that this isn't the best thing to do for an Oracle database, the instance decided against starting. If you read the DBWR trace file, you will find a message which states "RAID 5 volumes=poor write performance. Instance shutting down." Move off of RAID 5 at your earliest convenience.

HTH,

P.S. The above is a joke and not a real solution. Except for the part about moving off of RAID 5.
