DBCA Connection Options - How to determine an existing server mode?

Hello.
I'm really new to Oracle DB administration so please be patient. I'm trying to duplicate an existing database on another server. I'd like to know how to determine which server mode my current database is running.

The DBCA Database Connection Options Help screen does a good job of explaining the reasoning for dedicated or shared server modes. However, it does not explain how to determine current settings. (Of course - it is trying to create a new DB so why should it care?) I looked at the spfile via OEM, I checked the "ora" files and I have read through the Installation Guide and lots of Google threads.

Thanks in advance.
