Hi All,

I have an Solaris 8 for Intel & Oracle 8.1.7 Rel 3.

I installed Solaris with not much difficulty, but I'm having trouble with Oracle.

After logging into svrmgrl I typed

SVRMGRL> STARTUP MOUNT GATES and it gives me the following error
LRM - 00109: Could not open parameter file '?/dbs/init@.ora'
ORA - 01078:Failure in processing system parameter.

The inittab file looks like this

GATES:/export/home/oracle/OraHome1:Y

I'm actually a SQLServer DBA and totally new to Oracle & Unix. Am I missing something here. I find that most of the books do not contain much info towards these kinds of trouble shooting. Does any one here know of any such book.

Thanks,
gopi
