DB on VMS startup problem

Hi,
we are running a production OPS 7.3.4 on Alpha VMS. The database was completely hanging yesterday so a reboot of the = machine was
done. The database seems to not have shotdown corerectly and has now a startup problem:
Whenever I say startup I get a message, I cannot mount instance in exclusive mode. When I want to shutdown the database command is hanging = or
saying that it cannot mount the database at all. The log and alertfile to not have any specific entry suggesting any problems with the DB.
As the dba of the databse is on vacation I have to come up weith the solution. As VMS is not my home platform any help is greatly = appreciated.
Please mail me directly as we get the list in digest mode in this = problem
meens production stand still in about 3 hours...

Regards,
Antje
