    hi,
    I am tring to create a new database (oct). I have made the changes in the init(oct).ora. As stated in the documentations, I have started the instance in 'nomount' mode.
    However,when I try to create a database using
    create database oct;
    I get a error

    ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
    ORA-01101: database being created currently mounted by some other instance.

    I have stopped all other instances, but still facing this problem.
    could U pl help.

    Check all init.ora parameters to see that you are using another db name and all path names are correct. Before going into server manager, make sure you:
    1. use export/set ORACLE_SID=oct
    2. startup nomount
    3. create db
