Hi DBA Technocrats,

I am working with WinNT 4.0, Oracle 8.1.6
There are two instances named dwax, weblogic
running in the same machine.
to enable audit_trail, i modified the init.ora and shutdown both.
I found database closed, and instances dis mounted.

While restarting i got this error

startup
Ora-1081 cannot start already-running oracle - shut it down first.

So i tried to run select * from v$instance;
I saw oracle not available error.

so again i issued startup force
This time instance started,
but ORA-1102 cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode.

Help me to sort it out.

Thanks in advance.
Ramesh.
