Shutdown immediate resulted in "ORA-01089: immediate shutdown or close in progress", although no other process was executing shutdown:

We can see above that MMON was first stopped. Then, strangely, the MMON start was attempted. Since the database was already shutting down, MMON start got ORA-01089. This error got then propagated to SQLPlus.

The dedicated server process trace confirms this and adds a bit more information:

Could anybody guess the reason for MMON start in the course of the shutdown and how to prevent it?
