Using Oracle 8.1.6.3 on solaris 2.7.

I am trying to put my database in archivelog mode.

When I try to shutdown the database using shutdown immediate, it just sits there for ages.. (left it for 30 mins).

I've cancelled this and done a shutdown abort. (tried normal shutdown after that, same)

Due to this when I try to put it archivelog mode after shutdown abort I get a message saying that the database can't be put into archivelog mode because recovery is needed.

TIA
