Re: ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure

Hey, Thanks.

This partially resolved my problem.
I am no longer receiving any ORA errors.

I am now getting an error that it could not mount the database in exclusive mode.
Any ideas on this one?

There is only a single Database running on this server. The only "user" of this database should be some java processes running on a couple web servers.
I have verified that the java processes have been killed on the web servers.
