There is also a bug (so far in all versions) that sometimes shows up. Search on EMN0 (search in your alert logs and in metalink). There are a lot of hits on it, and we have found one of our instances doing this... it hangs in shutdown immeidate. Oracle solution... Shutdown Abort, startup restrict, shutdown immediate...and they repeat (A LOT) that this is a valid solution to the problem...

I am resubmitting this email, as it didn't seem to show up after it was
originally sent last night and this morning.

Last night I was planning to do a quick bounce of the database, and get our
24x7 shop right back online. Problem was I wasn't able to complete a 'shutdown immediate'. I went through each of the existing sessions in v$session and made sure that all of the user sessions were killed or inactive, but the shutdown immediate still wouldn't process. With damagement standing there looking worried, I went ahead with a shutdown abort just so we could get back to online processing. This is a relatively
new phenomenom for me, as shutdown immediate or killing user sessions has
almost always worked for me in the past. I will add that while I was away
on vaca tion last week, my standin had to do two shutdown aborts of the database. So something might just be amiss.

Anyhow My question is what should I look for when an instance won't
shutdown via a shutdown immediate? Or maybe my problem is that I should just wholeheartedly embrace shutdown abort, and just let the recovery process clean things up. My problem with that is I used to work with a senior dba that would slap my wrist with a ruler, if I shutdown abort.
