I use oracle 7.0.12, on SUN OS 4.1.3

On my system when I do the following command: oerr ORA 09782

This message prints:
09782, 00000, "sfifi: another instance has the same database mounted.:

// *Cause:  In non-shared disk systems, database cannot be mounted shared.
// *Action: Shutdown the other oracle instance and try again.  The name
//          of the other instance was dumped to the trace file.

Hope this helps,
