    Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 Wont Start

    I have a server running Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 and ArcSDE 9.1 on SLES 9
    Over the weekend the ArcSDE service stopped responding and this morning i rebooted the server.

    Trying to manually start the database this morning i got the following error(s):

    SQL> connect / as sysdba
    Connected to an idle instance.
    SQL> startup
    ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
    SQL> shutdown
    ORA-24324: service handle not initialized
    ORA-24323: value not allowed
    ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
    SQL> startup
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    SQL>

    I am not an Oracle expert (obviously?). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Why oracle is saying the database is running? If it is running, why you wanna shutdown and startup again? What are the error messages in alert log with startup?

    Before starting the database, make sure you have env. variable ORACLE_SID set to right value. It looks like the database is on Windows server, Right? If so, start the Oracle service for the database.

    Thomasps:

    Sorry, i didn't clarify initially. I was getting the error that the database was already started yet the Oracle Enterprise Manager web based console reported the database as being down.

    I have since managed to shutdown the database using the "shutdown abort" command. Typing "startup" seems to start the database successfully now:

    SQL> startup
    ORACLE instance started.

    Total System Global Area 608174080 bytes
    Fixed Size 1220820 bytes
    Variable Size 125833004 bytes
    Database Buffers 473956352 bytes
    Redo Buffers 7163904 bytes
    Database mounted.
    Database opened.

    Yet now the Oracle Enterprise Manager hangs when trying to connect. It seems the database is not accepting connections? Is it possible that it is doing some sort of recovery? If so, how do i check the progress?

    This is the tail of my alert log:

    Your database looks OK and opened normally. Check the listerenr, is started or not. Also, check the web services. Login to the databases using sqlplus to check the connections are going thru or not. It looks the EM problem is out of Database. Sorry, I never use EM rather I work with sqlplus.

    (I know I'm repeating what Thomasps said in his post, but...)

    This is rather a "broad brush" statement to make. Check that the database will accept connections by trying to log in using SQL Plus. If you can then the problem is with EM, in which case stop & restart the EM service.

    Only if you can't log in using SQL Plus can you say that the database is not accepting connections, in which case a reboot of the server may help to put things right.
