Hi all;

I have RAC two node cluster, and one of my instance goes down. when I tried to startup the instance below is what I got:

SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/oracle/v1020/dbs/initDB1.ora'


1. why is it looking at the initDB1.ora to start up the DB, I thought it suppose to use the spfile to start up the instance.

2. what step I need to do in order to bring up the first instance now?

Thanks all.
