Follow your instincts. Use ipcrm and clear out those shared memory segments. Then it should start OK.

This is wacky.
Any ideas on this one (other than reboot the box)??? I cannot start up this database (claims it's already running). Clearly it is not. No background processes for this instance. The only process I see even remotely related to this database is the oracledesi process. (I don't know what that process is.)

I do have a semaphore set for oracle. Should I remove it? (I normally have other databases on this box, but I've shut them all down.)

This database worked fine till a network device was ripped out from under it, and the HA stuff kicked in and failed it over.

Any ideas? Thanks for any help
