Re: Solaris: How to make a new instance

Having a look at the installation guide would be wise.

Otherwise, suppose you want to create a database-instance called RTFM:

have $ORACLE_HOME/bin on your path
export ORACLE_SID=RTFM
create the initRTFM.ora file, in which, amongst others, you specify the db-name
start svrmgrl
connect internal
startup nomount pfile=.../initRTFM.ora (or just startup nomount if pfile is in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs)
create database RTFM ...
