Not able to startup Database- getting "ORA-27121" error

Hi All,
When i try to start database it fails with the below error.
Enter user-name: sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected to an idle instance.

I doubt on shared memory permission but im not clear on that. Below is the output of 'ipcs -a'
$ipcs -a |grep oracle

Please help me to solve this :(
Thanks

Well, yours probably is the only case where I have seen the other group mentioned as Staff, never have seen it otherwise. This is what my 11106 db looks like on OEL 5.1

  • Can't start database getting ORA-01081 error

    Hi Everyone,
    I am having an odd issue. Last week we had to take down a database hard due to an issue with san space on an AIX server. Once doing this I brought the database up without issue.
    We have a cold backup script that runs nightly that shutdowns and startups the database but we are having an issue:
    Database goes downs no problem with backup script:
    SQL> Database closed.
    Database dismounted.
    ORACLE instance shut down.
    But when it attempts to start the database it comes back with the following error:
    ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
    Yet I can login to the server and start it without issue.
    Then last night I shut it down manually to see what is going on. I shut it down and checked on the server (ps -ef |grep db1) but didn't see any processes out there for that database. When backup kicked off again shut it down but couldn't start due to ora-01081 error. But I could start it this morning.
    Am I missing something here? I see no processes running but clearly something is causing this error?
    Thanks

  • SQL Developer is not able to identify the Tnsnames.ora file

    Hi,
    I have installed the following in the laptop having Win XP:
    1) Oracle 10gR2 Client software in the D: drive of laptop. Tnsnames.ora is located in this clients Network\Admin path. This client is used to access the databases on the other servers.
    2) Oracle 10gR2 Database software in the E: drive of laptop. Right now there is not Tnsnames.ora file in this softwares Network\Admin path. This db software has been installed to create local databases in the laptop.
    3) Oracle SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64 is also installed in C: drive of laptop.
    The problem which now I'm facing is that the SQL Developer is not able to identify the Tnsnames.ora file mentioned in the above point-1 which contains entries of databases on the different servers. Could you please help me out in solving this problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    MAK

    I forget what version I was using at the time, but when I had an ORACLE_HOME defined for the environment and TNSNAMES file defined in SQL Developer (different one than was in ORACLE_HOME), that I would see results from both tns files. I don't know if that is still the case. I have since dropped my ORACLE_HOME environmental variable.

  • Not able to connect database while creating RPD

    hi,
    while creating New RPD i am not able to connect database its Throwing error like"The Connection has failed". even though i had given Data source name as TNS entry.
    Thanks,
    Lokesh

    Hi,
    If you use OBIEE 11g, the tnsname.ora is located in this folder : {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory & {oracle_common}\network\admin directory (only the former is needed as that is the ORACLE_HOME).
    Do you use OBIEE 11g and have you update the tnsname.ora in this folder ?
    Hope it helps,
    Benoit

    have the following in your listener file

          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    Also, dont have 'localhost' in your listener.ora file, provide the actual IP or hostanme. NEVER YOU should have
    localhost.
    Restart listener and try.
    Thanks &

    No, you are not.
    - You are not using the correct version doc vs. Oracle server version. Try to find the same suggestion in the relevant doc.
    - The doc you reference specifically says "... it can be used only under special circumstances. The ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET statement does not perform any data conversion, so it can be used +if and only if the new character set is a strict superset of the current character set+." (emphasis is mine)
    You do not have a strict superset.
    - Also the special clauses you have used are not documented - for a reason.
    Please edit your posts above to remove the ill-advice (steps with internal use only clauses) that does not belong on a forum.

  • We are Not able to Add, approved A/P invoice - Error - Tax code Missing

    Dear Experts,
    In A/P -> A/P service Invoice
    When We are going to Add Approved Invoice ,system can not allow . This
    invoice is go through a approval process ,system can not allow to change any
    of document row during approval process or after approval process.
    we are unable to add tax or remove line item after approval.
    We are Not able to Add, approved A/P invoice - Error - Tax code Missing
    [A/p Invoice Row -Tax code] Line 3 [Message 3513-14]
    I think ,It should allow the system to edit the row tax or amount after or during
    approval process

    Don't worry,AP invoice is not get posted,it will be saved as draft only,
    Default tax code for purchase documents using tax code determination.
    Create new ap invoice with tax code and send it for approval.
    Orginator should ensure all mandatory fields in document are entered correctly before
    sending it for approval.

  • Try to burn cd CAN NOT DO IT. I get a system error 6

    Try to burn cd CAN NOT DO IT. I get a system error 6. does any one know about this or does anyone have an idea fo where to find out about this info

    Monkey_man,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Under OS9 Error 6 was an overflow error. I can't find any confirmation that this applies to OS X too but if it does then it would suggest a Buffer Overflow during burning. This is when the computer is unable to supply the data fast enough to the CD burner and the whole process fails.
    You don't give any details on whether you're using an iMac 233 with a USB1 external burner or the latest iMac IDC with DL Superdrive but here are some general principles to reduce the chances of making a coaster.
    Stop whatever else you may be doing at the same time. Allow your computer to give it's full attention to the burner.
    Burn at a lower speed. It you are using an application like Toast you will be offered to burn at several speeds. I suggest you try 1x and work your way up.
    If you can be more specific about your set-up then there may be other things to try.
