  • ERROR - ORA-01034: shared memory realm does not exist

    Hallo!I am a newbie in Oracle in Linux.I have just installed Oracle 10g in Oracle Eenterprise Linux version 4 Update 7.The installation was successful and I could
    work with sqlplus,isqlplus and Enterprise Manager.When I restarted my machine,I manually started the listener,OEM and isqlplus which started successfully.
    However,when I try to log into OEM and isqlplus,the error message below appears
    ERROR - ORA-01034: ORACLE not available ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
    How do I resolve this?
    Thanks.

    ERROR - ORA-01034: ORACLE not available ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory An Oracle instance consists of a number of Oracle server processes (the limbs) and a shared memory area (the brain). Each and every server process participating in that Oracle instance needs to attach to the shared memory area.
    The error message you see, states that the server process (launched in order to service your sqlplus/OEM client), failed to find and attach to this shared memory segment.
    Two basic reasons for the failure.
    The Oracle instance is not running. There are no shared memory area and Oracle server processes running for that instance. Solution: start up the database instance.
    The server process was launched with the incorrect parameters (ORACLE_SID specifically) and attempted to attach to shared memory that does not exist. Solution: review the TNS/JDBC parameters of the client connection and configuration of the Oracle Listener to ensure that a server process launched to service a client, does so with the correct parameters and environment.

    Hi,
    >>do you recommend using auto undo_management instead of RBS?
    Yes. To simplify management of rollback segments, the Oracle9i database introduced Automatic Undo Management (AUM) where the database automatically manages allocation and management of undo (rollback) space among various active sessions. In a database using AUM, all transactions share a single undo tablespace. Any executing transaction can consume free space in this tablespace. Undo space is dynamically transferred from committed transactions to executing transactions in the event of space scarcity in the undo tablespace..The AUM feature also provides a way for administrators to exert control on undo retention. You can specify the amount of undo to be retained in terms of wall clock time (number of seconds). With retention control, you can configure your systems to allow long running queries to execute successfully without encountering ORA-1555 (Snapshot too old) errors ...
    For more information, you can take a look on these links below:

    Hello friend..
    The error you are getting *"ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist"* may be coz you are trying to connect to your database which is already shutdown not as sysdba user but as some other user, becoz of which you are getting this error. It sometimes happen that the service of the database is already started but when you try to connect to a shutdown database as users other then sys even having the DBA priviledges you cannot connect to database.
    Try to connect as SYS user hope your problem will be resolved.

    Hi
    We mostly receive this error message ( ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist and ORA-01139)
    When our SGA_MAX_SIZE is greater than 1.7 G.b on
    You again configure your sga size
    and sga_max_size paramete will not greater than 1.7 G.b
    Hope your database will work correctly.
    for test purpose you set all your init.ora parameter
    db_cache_size=512m
    db_keep_cache_size=64m
    db_recycle_cache_size=16m
    java_pool_size=8m
    large_pool_size=16m
    shared_pool_size=256m
    shared_pool_reserved_size=64m
    sga_max_size=1600m
    sga_max_size will not be grater than combination of of db_cache_size db_keep_cache_size,db_recycle_cache_sizejava_pool_size+share_pool_size+share_pool_reserved_size
    Hope it will work fine.

  • (HELP) ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

    Contributors,
    I am a newbie in Oracle and have oracle database installed and working as expected until few days ago. One day i was getting these ugly messages when connecting via SQLplus
    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    Process ID: 0
    Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0I did some searches on this topic but haven't found solutions.
    * Some suggested to check[b] environment variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID : my ORACLE_HOME is fine, and i DO NOT have ORACLE_SID on the day i realize the problem.
    I am not sure if ORACLE_SID variable is usually exist when my database was up and running. So i set ORACLE_SID yet did not help.
    * Some said check if the required services are running :
    - OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener : RUNNING
    - OracleServiceORCL : RUNNING
    * Other said that they have the same problem, but everything back to normal after several hours without anything configured / changed (miraculous)
    * I tried to restart or shut down, but no luck
    * In the same thread few days ago, Vlado helped me with suggestion to acces ADRCI and type SHOW PROBLEM also SHOW INCIDENT
    but the reply is DIA-48494: ADR home is not set, the corresponding operation cannot be done* Other implied to check the .ora files in NETWORK\ADMIN. I will post it (TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA) after this.
    My platform and some info :
    * OS : MS Windows Vista Ultimate
    * Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0) Enterprise/ Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows 32-bit
    Mostly i used SQLplus and SQLdeveloper, for developing procedures/ functions/ packages in Oracle Spatial.
    Also, am running it in one laptop (server and client altogether).
    There is only one database in the Laptop (no other oracle database).
    How to fix this ? Please kindly help me.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Damon

  • ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist - Please help!!!!!

    OS : Win 2000 server
    After good installation, when I want to connect instance ORCL by using SQLPLUS worksheet (as system/manager), I got this 2 error messages :
    ORA - 01034 : Oracle not available
    ORA - 27101 : shared memory realm does not exist
    In regedit: Ora_home = "my true path to Orahome directory
    Default_SID = ORCL
    Thank you for help !!!!!!

    Can you connect using plain SQL*Plus (sqlplus.exe)? Your database may not be started, try this:
    c:\sqlplus /nolog
    SQL>connect / as sysdba
    SQL>startup
    Then try connecting as one of the default users:
    SQL>connect scott/tiger

  • ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist - Oracle9i

    I installed Oracle9i on Windows 2000 Professional OS. Before installing Oracle9i, I uninstalled 8.1.7 using the uninstall option in Oracle9i and cleaned up the registry entry as well. I uninstalled Oracle 8.1.7 ( product ) and not the database that was created and running on Oracle8.1.7. During my Oracle9i install I installed a new database. After the install was complete the new database connects fine, but the database that was created using 8.1.7 does not connect. My listener is running and the tnsnames.ora has the entry for both the databases. The services menu on Windows shows that the database is up and running. I am not able to connect to the database created by oracle8.1.7 using Oracle9i, using SQL*PLUS.
    SQL*PLUS throws the following error message :
    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    I checked the trace files and oracle suggests me to open this database with migrate option.
    Does anyone know the related command or where I can find a fix or documentation for this problem ?
    All I am trying is to bring up a database that was created by a prior Oracle Version and I am not successful.
    Thanks,
    Nithy-

    Try below steps :
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect / as sysdba
    select status from v$instance
    I guess the instance/database is not open.

  • ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist on Mac OS X

    I know there have been quite a few postings on this topic already. However, my situation appears different since I am attempting to run Oracle 9i Developer Version R2 on a Mac with OS X 10.3.3.
    After I create a database and try to connect to it using sqlplus, I see the error messages:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    Mac OS X Error: 2: No such file or directory
    The database seems to be mounted correctly and the listener seems to be running.
    I have followed the various advice on bouncing the database but nothing seems to help. Does anybody who may have experienced the same problem have any thoughts or suggestions?
    It seems the problem has to do with my SID or hostname perhaps but I cannot figure out where the exact problem lies.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
