Setup:
OS NT 4 Server
Oracle 8.1.6
five instances already running on the server.

started new service through oradim command. copied "hot backedup" dbf files and tried to create control file. Bombs off with the included error message in alert file.

NOTE:The original controlfiles had been deleted before the create controlfile statement is run. Rebooting the server, I can create the controlfile and proceed peacefully.looks like it allocates extra semaphores during reboot.

Qn: How can I get the present semaphore value and how can I set it to a high value ?

Thanks in advance
