Re: Can't start DB instance

Here is the Oracle Text for your error.

"ORA-00210: cannot open control file name Cause: The system was unable to open a control file.

Action: Check that the control file exists, that the storage device is online, and that the file is not locked by some other program and try again. Also, check to see that the operating system limit on the number of open files per process has not been exceeded.

When using multiplexed control files, that is, more than one control file is referenced in the initialization parameter file, remove the parameter from the initialization parameter file referencing the control filename indicated in the message and restart the instance. If the message does not recur, remove the problem control file from the initialization parameter file and create another copy of the control file using a new filename in the initialization parameter file."
