Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> UNIX- another instance has database mounted
I am on a HP-UX B.10.20 running Oracle 7.2.3.
I am trying to startup an existing database, but I am getting the following
SVRMGR> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 27406128 bytes Fixed Size 47936 bytes Variable Size 16913392 bytes Database Buffers 10240000 bytes Redo Buffers 204800 bytesORA-00205: error in identifying control file '/u01/ORACLE/@/ctrl1@.ctl' ORA-09782: sfifi: another instance has the same database mounted. SVRMGR> There are only two other instances on the machine. One of which I am certain is NOT up and running and the other is up and running.
How can I find out how this database is mounted, my UNIX knowledge being limited, and what can I do to remedy the situation.
PS The instance & database that are up and running (navsupd) on this same server I can connect to fine from sqlplus, but when I connect through server manager with instance set to navsupd it says Connected to an idle instance.
Strange.
Please, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
