| Hello Friends,
|
| I have inherited a vendor supported database.
| Environment is :
|
| ORACLE V8.1.7.4.1 - Production vsnsta=0
| vsnsql=f vsnxtr=3
| Windows 2000 Version 5.2 Service Pack 1, CPU type 586
|
| The database is constantly giving me an "ORA-01033 ORACLE initialization or
| shutdown in progress" regadless of what I try.
|
| The folks who turned it over to me had been trying to rectify the problem by
| rebooting the machine repeatedly.
|
| I have attempted to shut it down by using oradim with the immediate option.
| No luck.
|
| Upon looking in the alert log I discover the following:
|
|
| Tue Nov 07 05:00:12 2006
| alter database open
| Tue Nov 07 05:00:13 2006
| Errors in file D:\oradata\pcpw\LOG\pcpwLGWR.TRC:
| ORA-01110: data file 12: 'D:\ORADATA\DBNAME\DBNAME.DBF'
| ORA-01114: IO error writing block to file 12 (block # 1)
| ORA-27072: skgfdisp: I/O error
| OSD-04008: WriteFile() failure, unable to write to file
| O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.

Maybe starting the service with a user that has access to the file may help.

|
| Wondering what steps I might take to rectify this.
|
| Thanks in advance for your helpful advice.
|
|
| Tam.

Regards
