   I have recently completed installation of Oracle 8.1.5 on Red Hat Linux 6.1, including the creation and running of a database script via dbassist. However, I am having some kind of problem running sqlplus on this database instance (sqlplus starts up OK via "/nologon" option, so I know it is operable).
  I (prefer to) start up manually, so I run Server Manager (svrmgrl) and TYPE/
  read the following:
CONNECT INTERNAL
  Connected.

STARTUP MOUNT "ORCL"
  ORACLE instance started
  <etc, etc>
  Database mounted

On a separate xterm I
TYPE/
read the following:
SQLPLUS SYSTEM/MANAGER
ORA-01033: Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress

What is wrong with my instance, as far as sqlplus is concerned??

Thanks for any pointers (no pun intended). Lee
