Problem in opening cloned database

Question

i have cloned database with name test to test1 in the same oracle home.My problem is that i can't able to open the cloned database
c:\>set oracle_sid=test1
c:\>sqlplus /nolog
SQL>conn sys/oracle as sysdba;
ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol adapter Error.
But if i use the folowing procedure i can able to open the cloned database
c:\>set oracle_sid=test(NOte test is the source database not clonned database)
c:\>Sqlplus /nolog
SQL>conn sys/oracle as sysdba
SQl>startup nomount pfile='c:\oracle\pfile\inittest1.ora'(this is the location of init.ora file for cloned database)
SQL>alter database mount;
SQL>alter database open;
Now cloned database is up and running.
Now if i try to open the original database (TEST) then i am getting the error
c:\>set oracle_sid=play
c:\>sqlplus "/nolog
SQL>conn sys/oracle as sysdba
SQL>startup
ERROR:database is already up and running
SQL>select name from v$database;
name
Play1
Can any one help me to open two databases at same time.
Thankx...

1) ordim
Create an instance by specifying the following options:
-NEW -SID sid | -SRVC srvc | -ASMSID sid | -ASMSRVC srvc [-SYSPWD pass]
[-STARTMODE auto|manual] [-SRVCSTART system|demand] [-PFILE file | -SPFILE]
[-SHUTMODE normal|immediate|abort] [-TIMEOUT secs] [-RUNAS osusr/ospass]
expample
oradim -NEW -SID orcl2
2) Password creation
orapwd file=orapwd<SID> password=oracle entries=5
