Barb,
check for an LK<dbname> file in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory too. If it's there, delete it.
Just another thing to try.

Oracle 8.0.5

HA Cluster 2.1

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

Barb
