Hello All!

I want to copy database instance from one server to another. Servers configuration:
1) Server from
 Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Oracle 8.1.7
2) Server to
 Red Hat Linux 9 and Oracle 8.1.7 (without database instance)

I have copyed $ORACLE_BASE/admin and $ORACLE_BASE/oradata from one server to another.
After this, I have set same oracle environment variables on new server.

The following errors occured when I trying to startup instance
