The manual assumes you have ONE database up at a time. Very
likely this is a second database? If you do not already have a
database up then perhaps you killed the processes of the
database leaving the semaphores allocated and they can't be
reused.
Use the UNIX command to release the semaphore - check with
system admin for this or bounce the box.
If you do plan to have more than one database up at once the
parameters given in the install were for ONE so they are too
small for multiple databases.
