Manual\DGMGRL Switchover Standby ora-01033 error

I have created a standby server for my SAP application as a part of test Disaster Recovery scenario. I can see the redo logs getting applied from primary to standby. However when I manually switchover the roles i encounters ORA -01033 error at NEW PRIMARY server and logs are also not getting applied in this scenario.
When i again changes the roles it works fine. I am not sure what is cause of ORA -01033 error. Here are the detailed tnsnames.ora of both sites.

ORA-01033 Error cannot be traced in the alert log or v$views

Hello There,
I'm hoping you can shed some light on what seems a rather odd occurrence on our Production Oracle Instance.
Before i elaborate on the nature of the problem, I must confess that i am not an Oracle DBA and have been compelled to post this query since i have no joy from the in house DBA community on the origins of this error.
We've had an ORA-01033 error being issued by our ETL installation (deployed on a Linux machine) a couple of days ago whence trying to extract some data from the Oracle instance (during overnight DataWarehouse loads) which has consequently aborted the loads necessitating a cleanup.
This event has already occurred twice before, the first time being a month ago when the event was captured in the v$instance (using the Startup time column where the timestamp corroborates to the first time we experienced this issue and also ackowledged by the DBA team) and also in the V$Dataguard_status.
Since then, This error has been generated twice although there seems to be no evidence of this in either the Oracle alert log(as confirmed by DBA team) or in any of the v$views (as pointed out by Tom in an earlier post) such as DBA_LOGSTDBY_HISTORY, v$logstdby_state, $logstdby_stats, dba_logstdby_log, dba_logstdby_events,v$dataguard_status, v$dataguard_stats, v$dataguard_config,v$database,v$database_incarnation, v$managed_standby, v$standby_log, v$instance. I searched these views since i suspected a latency issue during a failover which could be the reason for the
ORA-01033 but found nothing.
The DBA team have pretty much disowned this issue since they claim to not have any actual evidence of this from the logs and this is the crux of the matter here.
The Problem i have as the downstream "recepient" of this error is to prove to the DBA team that this is indeed a genuine issue with the Oracle instance affecting it's availability and concomittantly affecting the DW loads.
FYI, The Oracle instance is in Failover mode, so it's swiftly back online after bombing out for a few seconds.
Also, I don't have access to the Alert log as it's a Production environment and employs restricted access policy to the server.
Having said that, Is there anything else besides the obvious ORA errors that should be looked for in the Alert log?
Where else can ORA-01033 errors be traced/traced in the Dictionary besides the Alert Log?
Thoughts??
Regards

Thank You John for that query, but i'm on V10.2 and this view is relevant for 11g and beyond i believe.
Perhaps there is an equivalent for V10g?
I am also a bit bemused by the comment earlier about no trace being left behind if the DBA's performed a manual restart, surely it doesn't matter how the DB is restarted, the event is captured in the dictionary?
In the meantime, I've got a copy of the Alert log and have found redo log issues (DBWR/LGWR) very close to the time (a min after ORA-01033) of the shutdown event.
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 117732
Checkpoint not complete
I've looked into this a fair bit and this error apparently causes Oracle to suspend all processing on the database until the log switch is made.
Is this the causal link for my issue?
Does " suspend all processing on the database " actually translate into an actual ORA-01033 error (or some form of) when the ETL application is trying to connect to and extract data from the Oracle database at that time?

Error 12528, instance BLOCKED, and ORA-01033 error

I'm a student, just getting started with Oracle, and my teacher is not very helpful with the install/running problems that I'm having with Oracle.
I installed Oracle 11g Express a week ago, and upon installing it, the software worked just fine. I was able to create connections and write basic select statements to get data from a database provided by the manufacturer of my textbook.
Now, when I try to connect to the database, I get an error that says "ORA_12528, TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections."
I did a little research on how to fix this, and got into the listener to see its status. Here's what it says:
LSNRCTL> status

I also looked at the Listener Log File (although most of what I saw makes no sense to me, and it was pretty long)... here's what appears to be the last chunk of the log file:

After doing more googling, I found someone suggested that logging on to SQL*Plus as sysdba and then shutting down and restarting the database might do something to fix this, but when I try to log in it doesn't work... here's what I see in SQL*Plus:
SQL> connect / as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-28056: Writing audit records to Windows Event Log failed
OSD-196787312: Message 196787312 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=SOSD
O/S-Error: (OS 1502) The event log file is full.
ORA-01075: you are currently logged on
SQL> connect

Enter password:

I have no idea what's going on here, and unfortunately, since I'm a student and have just started with Oracle, I can't seem to make heads or tails of most of what I'm finding on the forums here (and most of the threads that seem pertinent are 6 or more years old).
If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Srini -
I did take a look at the link you posted and I tried to do what it said, but I don't really know what to make of what I found. When I run services.msc I find the following are running:
OracleJobSchedulerXE, OracleMTSRecoveryService, OracleServiceXE, OraclexEClrAgent, and OracleXETNSLisnener
So it appears that the Oracle Service is running... probably not the problem.
With regards to the logs, I don't know how to do what you suggested (make the log bigger, allow for overwrites, etc.).
I tried to follow the suggestions from the link you posted and get into the event viewer, but when I enter "eventviewer" in the run window my machine can't find it. I tried other methods I found online to get into the event viewer, but it appears as though my computer doesn't offer me access to it (or simply doesn't have that capability). Are there other ways to clear old logs? Can I just open it as a text file and delete the contents? I don't want to make a mess out of things, and I really don't know what I'm doing so any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

When I am trying to connect to the database the error is coming "Oracle shutdown or intilialization is in process". I am not able to do anything.

ORA-01033 Error

My Window NT V4.0 (SP6) was crashed during I am running DBA Studio and SQLPlus on the command line. I reboot the computer, and rerun the SQLPlus script, and DBA Studio and get error ORA_01033. No matter how long I wait, this error does not go away, even after I shutdown the computer. Should I delete some kind of cache, and how?
Thank you very much!
null

Thanks...Problem sloved!!!
I had tried shutdown the database with SET ORACLE_SID= <databasename>
SVRMGRL
Connect Internal
select * from v$database;
shutdown abort
startup pfile '<path for init.ora>'
After running this it was showing one of the database correpurt and i had done alter database open/mount and select * from dba_tablespaces and recovered datafile. After that shutdown abort and startup pfile. It had recovered the database and started the database connection successfully.
Try these if u have same kind of problems.

Manesh.

duplicate target database for standby;
standby creation finished sucessfully , but when i performed log switch and forcely archive the current log the arhive was not trasferring.
while trying to connect from primary to standby as :
conn sys/password@standby (the below error displaying)
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
On stanby also the same error coming while connecting to sys/password@standby
but while setting export ORACLE_SID=standby and ORACLE _HOME i can be able to connect to sqlplus and managed standby database in recovery mode.
I am not confused why sys/password@standby is not being connecting ..

The problem is well decribed in your alert log.....you are using Oracle Managed File names which means you will not be able to duplicate the database as RMAN won't be able to automatically generate new names for the files using the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameters.
Youll have to use the SET NEWNAME command to specify the names of the database files. Done this a few times , and I don't recommend using OMF specifically beacuse of this hassle.
WARNING: OMF is enabled on this database. Creating a physical standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
datafile pathnames.
NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames.

ORA-01033 Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress error

Hi All,
I am using windows 7 on my 64-bit machine, and I installed oracle database 12c. Everything was installed fine, and i was able to connect to the HR schema. However, the next day when I wanted to connect, I got the ORA-01033 Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress error. What did I do wrong ? and what can I do to fix it ?? Thank you for the help.

Sorry but there are NO SHORTCUTS!
I already answered that above and referred you to the docs and an article.
The doc chapters explain the NEW multitenant architecture in detail. The new 12c architecture is SUBSTANTIALLY different from previous architectures. Until you read the docs about it and understand how it has been implemented you will continue to have NOTHING but problems.
I know that may sound like just another RTFM but for 12c it is imperative that you understand the new architecture if you want to avoid problems. There is no way to explain it all in the forums; Oracle takes a good two chapters just to cover the basics.
I also pointed you to an article that shows how to startup the CDB and PDBs manually or write a STARTUP trigger to do it automatically.
Hopefully you are doing all of this in a VM environment as you seemingly implied in one of your other threads?
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2594464
There are already some VM templates available for 12c

ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress on mounted standby

Hi we are using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0
We have seven different databases on different machines.
Similarly we also have standby database for all databases on different machines.
The standby databases are opened as follows:
Startup mount;
Alter database mount standby database;
Alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
When we tried to connect on standby database as Non-SYSDBA user we received following message (that I think is correct)

Output for btsouth is correct,when connecting as non-sysdba user. On btnorthn obviously it is tried to execute a query. Is it possible you have sqlplus startup scripts (login.sql and/or glogin.sql) on btnorthn but not on btsouth?

Well, did you check f.i. your alert.log and other dumps?
They will be on your server in the bdump, udump, cdump directories:
Where to Find Files for Analyzing Errors
Oracle records information about important events that occur in your Oracle RAC environment in trace files. The trace files for Oracle RAC are the same as those in single-instance Oracle databases. As a best practice, monitor and back up trace files regularly for all instances to preserve their content for future troubleshooting.
Information about ORA-600 errors appear in the alert_SID.log file for each instance where SID is the instance identifier. For troubleshooting, you may need to also provide files from the following bdump locations:
* $ORACLE_HOME/admin/db_name/bdump on UNIX-based systems
* %ORACLE_HOME%\admin\db_name\bdump on Windows-based systems
Some files may also be in the udump directory.
In addition, the directory cdmp_timestamp contains in-memory traces of Oracle RAC instance failure information. This directory is located in ORACLE_HOME/admin/db_name/bdump/cdmp_timestamp, where timestamp is the time at which the error occurred.
Trace dump files are stored under the cdmp directory. Oracle creates these files for each process that is connected to the instance. The naming convention for the trace dump files is same as for trace files, but with .trw as the file extension.

Errors ORA-01034, ORA-27101 and ORA-01033

Hi!
I have Oracle 9i DB and DevSuite 10g installed on my laptop. There are three databases on my machine.
Recently, I tried to install Oracle Discoverer 10g and that's where the problem started. I could no longer connect to the databse using either SQL*Plus, TOAD or even from the front end application.
I realised that some of the regisrty entries were no longer in place after the Discoverer installation. After doing these entries, I am still getting the following errors while connecting:
ORA-01034 : Oracle not available
ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm does not exist
After doing the following entries in the registry, for the default database, I'm getting the 'ORA-01033 : Oracle Initialization or shutdown in progress' error while connecting for that particular db:
ORACLE_SID=DTA
ORA_DTA_AUTOSTART=TRUE
ORA_DTA_SHUTDOWN=TRUE
ORA_DTA_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=30
ORA_DTA_SHUTDOWNTYPE=i
And for the other two DBs, the errors ORA-01034, ORA-27101 remain the same.
Can anyone please help?
Best regards,
Aparna

Have you checked your Windows services for the Oracle instances? Started and set to auto-start on boot.
Also check your $path variable to make sure the Oracle home(s) appear in the path
