Hi, I've managed to create a second database but am having trouble starting the second instance. I have the original database instance running and here is the error I get when attempting to start the second:

SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected.
SVRMGR> startup
ORA-07279: spcre: semget error, unable to get first semaphore set. SVR4 Error: 28: No space left on device Additional information: 25
Additional information: 2
SVRMGR> quit

What am I missing and/or doing wrong? It seems that Oracle may be trying to allocate shared memory segments and semaphores but they're already taken when the original instance started up?

If anyone can offer some help, I'd be thankful.

thanks very much,
