Thanks for the responses.
It turns out, I was not using the correct arguments to sqlplus. It worked after I specified the right user, db, and pfile:
>sqlplus "SYS/change_on_install_at_el3lxr as sysdba" sqlplus>startup pfile="$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initEL3LXR.ora"
I guess the db and pfile aren't right.
Sincerely,
George
