    Startup Fails w/ ora-27123

    After shutdown, 1st attempt to startup errors, 2nd always starts the database up.

    There's lots of memory on that machine (5 gb). Any ideas what this problem might be?

    SQL> shutdown immediate
    Database closed.
    Database dismounted.
    ORACLE instance shut down.

    SQL> startup
    ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment
    Linux Error: 22: Invalid argument
    Additional information: 1
    Additional information: 1507331

    SQL> startup
    ORACLE instance started.

    Total System Global Area 219746960 bytes
    Fixed Size 451216 bytes
    Variable Size 201326592 bytes
    Database Buffers 16777216 bytes
    Redo Buffers 1191936 bytes
    Database mounted.
    Database opened.

    Additional Info:

    Don't do the 1st attempt, do the 2nd attemp first

    Any way how much time(interval) between shutdown and first startup. May even after shutdown it takes some time to release the shared memory that was allocated to the Instance. Not so sure...

    The machine has 5 gigabytes and no other instances or applications running on it. This shouldn't be a problem with releasing memory.

    Here's something interesting. If I issue a "startup force" it'll startup right after a shutdown.

    The plot thickens...
