Database connection error ORA-01034 oracle not available

Hi
Can some one help me out from this probs. I have a oracle8.15 enterprize edition running on solaris 5.6. It's been running fine since few months from deffent clients. But today its giving ORA-01034 error when i try to connect to database from cliend side. I found that database is up and running and we can access it on server. But from client i am getting the above error. Oracle documentation shows " The operating system variable pointing to the instance is improperly defined".
I would aprreciate if some body helps out of this problem.
Thanks in advance
K. Srinivas

Hi,
Oracle uses the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables to create a unique shared memory hash key for each instance.
This problem can happen if your environment variables are set differently when the database is started compared to the user who is getting the error. The error indicates that the executable (sqlplus, svrmgrl) can't find the shared memory segment, which means that the ORACLE_HOME variable is not set correctly somewhere.
Bye,

Urgent! Error: ORA-01034 Oracle not available for Oracle10gi

I have used SQL*Plus for a while, but recently when I try to login there is this error message:
Error:
ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist
I had search for the solution quite a while. I changed the "sqlnet.ora" from C:\OraHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
I changed SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NT; to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NONE and then reboot the machine.
The weird thing is that sometimes it works after I reboot the machine, but recently this just doesn't work any more. The SQL*Plus generates the same error message as I wrote above.
It seems like this kind of problem has troubled lots of oracle database users. IS this a bug that exists in the Oracle10gi?
Or does Oracle10gi require to run on certain operating system platform like Windows XP Professional but does not support for Windows XP Home Edition?
Can the Oracle company provide some error solution guide for the public for their own system?
many thanks

No this specific error message is not a result of an Oracle bug to my knowledge.
In my experience it is a simple matter of not using Oracle correctly. Only it is not that simple from a pure end-user perspective as Oracle is not a mickey mouse little filing system that pretends to be a database (like MS Access).
Which makes sense. After all, driving a bicycle does not mean one is able to get on a superbike. And if you respond "what!! why is it a superbike!?" then you need a bicycle in the first place.
The cause of the error you list - the client is making a local IPC dedicated server connection to the Oracle instance. This fails as the dedicated server cannot find the Oracle SGA (shared memory area) to attached to. This is usually the result of
a) the Oracle instance is down (and thus the SGA does not exist)
b) the ORACLE_SID used by the client is incorrect (and thus it attempts to attach to a non-existant SGA)
Reason (a) could be caused by some underlaying issue that results in the Oracle instance shutting down automatically or unintentionally.
As for what Oracle 10G requires operating system wise. There are detailed platform certification matrixes on the Oracle web site. In addition, the INSTALLATION notes of Oracle also specifies what platforms are supported.
You also fail to mention the exact Oracle product you're running. Oracle XE is different than Oracle Standard Edition which is different than Oracle Enterprise Edition.
There is btw a dedicated support forum here for Oracle XE - and this one ain't it.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available in Oracle XE.

Hi, diarilly i work with Oracle XE run on Windows XP Profesional SP2, 40GB Hard Disk, 512 RAM y Intel Pentium 4(1.60 GHz.), ocassionally i connect to Oracle XE with Apex 2.1 or SQL Developer 1.2 or SQL*Plus, and display message error:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
The services automatics,
..., i check the services(OracleServiceXE, OracleTNSServiceXe), ALL OK.
I solve thus this:
1. Stop Database
2. Start Database
Like avoiding this errors?
Thanks.

This possible that your machine it is low memory resource.
See another services in machine that its cosumes memory resource and how much it is available to machine!

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available...WHY?!?!?!?

I have spent the whole day on metalink, OTN, everywhere trying to figure this out. I need your guys expertise now. When I create the DB on my HP-Unix server, it creates fine, but when I try and connect to it as SYS or SYSTEM, I get the following error:
oracle9@cs08> export ORACLE_SID=rmancat
oracle9@cs08> echo $ORACLE_SID

Here are the steps that I did when I created the DB.
1. in the host I ran:
orapwd file=/appl/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapwrmancat password=password entries=5
2. Then I did the following.
oracle9@cs08> export ORACLE_SID=rmancat
oracle9@cs08> echo $ORACLE_SID

SQL>@/rmancat/createdb.sql
3. After this, I ran the catalog.sql, catproc.sql and catexp.sql
4. That's all.
So when I try and connect to the DB as a DB user, I get:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory
What happened to this. On metalink it tells me that my ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are wrong but I verified this 3 times. I am running both ver. 8i and 9i. Here are the values for ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME,
oracle9@cs08> export ORACLE_SID=rmancat
oracle9@cs08> echo $ORACLE_SID
rmancat
oracle9@cs08> echo $ORACLE_HOME
/appl/oracle/product/9.2.0
oracle9@cs08> echo $ORACLE_BASE
/appl/oracle
oracle9@cs08>
Any advice?

Hi,
Seems to me you have problem with the memory
I also fased this problem on AIX and i have solved it by the following steps
ipcs b ----TO SE THE PROCESSES
Kill the oracle process
ipcrm -m 1601 (1601 is process id.)
and restart your database.
Most of the time this error will come if you are running more than one database on one machine.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while creating ASM or database

Hi all,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.
Any idea guys?? How to resolve this issue??

Hi FK,
On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_check_verify_windows_services.htm
Have you tried using oradim?
http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_oradim_utility.htm
The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
-starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
• startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
• sid – The SID of the database to start.
• usrpwd – The password for the database user.
• starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
Hope this helps. . .
