    Unhappy ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info

    Hi,

    I am having 3 control files at location as per the init.ora file. Today moring I found database was down, when trying to startup, got an error "ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info".


    Alert.log
    =========================

    I was trying to create a controlfile from the script present at alert.log as CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "ABC", but got the same error ORA-00205.

    Pls suggest me.

    Thanks,

    Isn't the reason obvious?

    The file permissions don't change by oneself.
    Check if the filesystem is mounted read-write (mount command).

    IT SHOULD READ-WRITE, NOT READ-ONLY.
