ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info

Hello All,
I am performing my first Collab Suite install in quite some time and I have successfully installed Collaboration Suite on Linux Red Hat AS 4. I first performed an infrastructure installation for the Collab Suite database which completed with no errors, however, it appears that no control files were created in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory during installation. I am also unable to specify their exact location in the initSID.ora file as I am unable to find them in any other directory on my server. The database starts despite the control file error, as you can see from the second SQL*Plus prompt. However, I am unsure how to create the control files or correct this error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Control files are database-specific, since they contain information describing the database (location of data files, etc.) You can't copy them from one database to another.
Do you have a backup?

Error in identifying control file

I have successfully moved or cloned a database, but having problem with the controfile creation.
Each time I run the create control file script and start the database, I get "ORA-00205: error in identifying control file".
When I do "sho parameter", it tells me that contral file is ora02/oracle/oradata, but no controlfile in that folder.
My question is when I run the following script, where is the control file saved?
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "MDB" RESETLOGS
MAXLOGFILES 20
MAXLOGMEMBERS 4
MAXDATAFILES 22
MAXINSTANCES 2
MAXLOGHISTORY 292
DATAFILE
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "MDB" RESETLOGS
MAXLOGFILES 20
MAXLOGMEMBERS 4
MAXDATAFILES 22
MAXINSTANCES 2
MAXLOGHISTORY 292
LOGFILE

Problem resolved!
I followed the instruction in How to Recreate a Controlfile [ID 735106.1].
The part of the document I used is stated below as I just had to clean up my controlfile creation script:
It is important to delete everything above the "CREATE CONTROLFILE" and everything after the CHARACTER SET. Ensure you leave the semi colon. ";".In the above example we are choosing the NORESETLOGS option and running the database in archivelog mode. After successfully saving the script you are now able to recreate the controlfile. When shutting down the database ensure that you shutdown with the immediate option.

Thank you all.

Hm ... please have a look into ML-Note:337737.1 (I'm just mentioning the combinations with an 11g database) - I noticed that you don't have a RAC installation but nevertheless you'll have CSS running for your ASM instance.
CRS........ASM............DB......Certified
11.1_____11.1_____11.1_____Y
11.1.____10.2______11.1_____Y
11.1_____10.1.0.3__11.1_____Y
So upgrading the ASM instance first should solve this issue. Upgrading ASM means: you'll shutdown your database running in ASM and upgrade the ASM instance with the DBUA. It'll take just a few minutes because there's no data dictionary in ASM.
Kind regards
Mike

it is true the actual file does not exist and is not essential for the running of the database.
Is the information to create the controlfile held in a context file and if so is it possible to edit the file and remove the offending line?It is possible (as mentioned above) but this may not guarantee that the script would work for the other database files which may not exist.

Troubleshooting RapidClone issues with Oracle Applications 11i [ID 364565.1]
The best approach to fix this issue is by running preclone again on the source nodes, copy the files and run postclone then.

Error re-creating controlfile

I am trying to recreate the control file from the text trace file I created.
When I run the script in the trace file I get errors, so I'm breaking it down into little steps.
After running this:
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "D3P" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG;
I get this error:

After every resetlogs you have to take fresh backup.
It seems you have opened your database in resetlogs and your backup is prior to this resetlogs.So the controlfile is showing inconsistance with the other datafiles.

Best Regards.Please post the message in the alert-file as stated.
It can e.g. be that while copying the file permissions have been changed, making the files not readable for the oracle user

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file..after installing ASM

Hi
I haveoracle database 10g running on a redhat4 mechine.
i have installed ASM and migrate my database to ASM.
I haven't any problem and everything was fine till i reboot the mechine for the first time after
installing ASM.
I got the ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
error when database was restarting
any one can help me out of this problem
many many thanks in advance

eventually I figured out what the problem is.
The problem is about my dbora file used to start my database.
this is the whole story!!!
I have a oracle 10gR2 installed on Redhat linux AS 4.
I have configured my database to work on ASM.All the configuration have set properly
and every thing is fine except the Automatic starting the database in time
the mechine is restarted.
when i restart the mechine with nothing in dbora(used to automatically start the database)
and start everything after logging into oracle user(listener ,database,Enterprise manager)
no problem(i can see my ASM instance database instance throught Enterprise managaer).
but when i use dbora to do that i get this error appear in enterprise manager
ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
this is the content of dbora:
s script is intended to allow the automated
# startup and shutdown of an oracle database server.
# Author: Sean O'Donnell <[email protected]>
# the user that oracle runs as (default: oracle)
ORACLE=oracle
# database instance id
ORACLE_SID=orcl
# ORACLE_HOME (file system) path
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME PATH
case $1 in
'start')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart"
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
'stop')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut"
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac
exit
What do u think could be the reason?!!!!
thank you in advance
