    ORA-30012: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' does not exist or of wrong type

    Hello guys..

    I just moved into this new job and inherited this problem when i started the database.

    ======================
    SQL> startup
    ORACLE instance started.

    Total System Global Area 303532544 bytes
    Fixed Size 731648 bytes
    Variable Size 285212672 bytes
    Database Buffers 16777216 bytes
    Redo Buffers 811008 bytes
    Database mounted.
    ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced

    ==================================

    so, i went into alert log and saw this...

    ORA-30012: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' does not exist or of wrong type

    so, i changed the pfile and changed undo_management from AUTO to MANUAL and started the database. Database started fine. So then, i deleted the old UNDO that is creating the problems, and created a new UNDO, and shutdown the database.

    Then, I went and changed the pfile and changed the undo_management from MANUAL to AUTO and started the database.

    Its giving the same error....

    any help ?

    thanks for help

    Have you changed the undo_tablespace parameter in the pfile to reflect the new undo tablespace name.

    Hmmmn...I'm just curious what cause the problem, do u think that
    someone had accidentally deleted the undo datafile? or drop the
    undo tablespace.

    So you mean here that changing the pfile from AUTO to MANUAL and
    deleting the UNDO(supposedly creating the problem) was not the
    real solution right?

    The real problem is that, the undo tablespace name was not reflected in the pfile's (undo_tablespace parameter).
    I mean the solution is just to reflect the undo tablespace name.

    Am i right? davey...

    Read yxez's reply carefully. Reflect undo tablespace's name in pfile's undo_tablespace parameter. It should resolve the issue.
