Ora 01034 for nt

-From the docs: ORA-01034: Oracle not available
-Cause: Oracle was not started up.
-Possible causes include the following:
The SGA requires more space than was allocated for it.
The operating system variable pointing to the instance was improperly defined.
I've been tried the first but nothing has been happened.
The second i don't know i must procede!!
Can someone help me!
Thanks a lot.
Enzo

Enzo,
Try to extend your system table space.

  • Ora-01034 for users other than oracle

    Hello.
    I am having an issue when trying to connect through SQLPLUS with users that aren,t oracle user. Database instance is mounted, opened and working fine, listener also is up and running. I,m able to login without any issues with oracle user as follow:
    [oracle@LX-TSC2 admin]$ sqlplus metro_ctl/metro_ctl

    But if I try with another linux user, I get errors:
    [metro_ctl@LX-TSC2 ~]$ sqlplus metro_ctl/metro_ctl

    Hello.
    I finally did solved my problem   . I want to thank to all the people who tried to help me with my issue. I am now able to use sqlplus without using SID at the end:

  • 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 creating new database with Oracle 8i for NT

    Hi everyone!
    I've succesfully installed Oracle 8i Stanard Edition 8.1.6 on a server Intel with 256 Mb Ram and Windows NT Server 4.0 with SP6a. I've succesfully created a standard database but if i try to create a custom database the creation stops with ORA-01034 error: Oracle not available. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks
    Luca

    That error message usually represents the fact that Oracle is not running. Check the task manager services tab and see if Oracle is running.
    It can be configured to start automatically if it is not already.

    Hi Wim
    You should say that "It may be Control File problem", but you shouldn't say that "it's due to Control File" problem
    Please refer to Errors Documentation for more information on ORA-00600
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14219/e0.htm#sthref371
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string]
    Cause: This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program exceptions. This indicates that a process has encountered an exceptional condition.
    Action: Report as a bug - the first argument is the internal error number

  • 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.

  • Oracle 11g Installation DBCA ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available

    I have two oracle databases installed (using the default settings in dbca) and running on a Windows 2003 R2 server, already.
    However, when I try and create a third using the defaults, after 2%, dbca receives an ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available and stops the creation process.
    I've searched 16 hours or so for a similar issue, but haven't had much luck other than to check sqlnet.ora for OS authentication, the registry keys, and tnsnames.ora.
    I've looked at the trace log for dbca a few times for the different attempts at creating a new database, and they tend to differ when the error is generated.
    Looking at Event Viewer, I noticed that connection events occurred during installation, and that for at least one case, CONNECT / AS SYSDBA occured 3 times before the error was generated.
    I've made more than 3 databases on another machine (XP - not server 2003), without any issue, but it seems odd that this error would be because of server 2003.
    I'm fairly inexperienced with configuring databases for Oracle, so please excuse my ignorance.
    Here's a log file to accompany the issue:

    I found out from another dba that oracle takes up 1 gb of memory by default. So creating 2 databases with default settings means that 2 gb of memory was taken on a windows 32 bit server. So that means only 2 gb is available to the machine, and the server takes up more than half of that making the memory available scarce for another oracle database to be created.

    Hi
    Quick and dirty over view...You really need to read the
    documentation.
    Step 1. Prepare the init.ora file for the database...Read the
    docs.
    Step 2. Decide what to name your database and do so in init.ora.
    Step 3. Prepare th sql to create the database.
    Step 4. Now go to svrmgr and connect internal and starup the
    instance.
    Step 5. Create the database. A lot to do here...Read the docs.
    Step 6. Now create users(schemas), tables, views, etc...

  • Sqlplus doesn't accept any login - ORA-27101 ORA-01034

    Hello there, I eventually decided to write to this forum after
    having read tons of documentation and newsgroup posts without any
    result.
    I still keep getting the infamous messagge
    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    any time a try to log into sqlplus.
    My envinronment variable are correct, (including
    ORACLE_SID) the db is up and running.
    I don't know what else I could do now. BTW, what file
    the system cannot find? the "2" file?????
    Is there anyone that can help me?
    Thank you in advance.

    Unfortunately this is NOT the "final solution" because I had already done all those modifications to the kernel parameters
    and still had the problem.
    So, I agree with Rob: if you don't modify the kernel parameters
    oracle won't work. But for me this wasn'sufficient: i.e. necesssary but not sufficient.
    My little step was to modify the startup script
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart. Here I changed the line
    startup DBNAME
    with
    startup open DBNAME
    Since then I haven't had any problem in starting oracle and
    connecting to it with sqlplus.
    Perhaps I have found a solution without any intelligence of
    the problem...

  • Errors - ORA-01034, ORA-27101 & Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or dir

    I have installed Oracle 10g database and AS 10g on SUSE linux EE 10 (SP2)
    When I try to log in as system/system using sqlplus locally on the server, it works fine. However, when I try the following I get error messages:
    SQL> conn system/system@botsdb
    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    I tried the same from my laptop through sqlplus and the error message is the same.
    I checked if the database was up and to check this I executed follwing commands whicle still being logged as system/system:
    SQL>Select * from v$database;
    SQL>Select * from v$instance;
    SQL>Select * from tab;
    These do bring results. Also if I try to start up the database again, it gives error message that the database is already up. I have restarted the db number of times, checked if my listener was listening on the service BOTSDB and these all seem fine.
    It is very intriguing that when @BOTSDB is attached while connecting, the connection fails.
    Can someone please guide me to sort this error?
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Aparna

  • 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

  • ORA-01034 ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE

    hi everybody,
    i'm trying to install a second instance on Oracle8.1.7 on Sun Enterprise 250 (with Solaris 8).
    the previous instance has this init.ora file:
    open_cursors = 300
    max_enabled_roles = 30

    sort_area_size = 4194304

    db_file_multiblock_read_count = 32
    hash_multiblock_io_count = 8
    transactions_per_rollback_segment = 25
    please, notePROCESSES is 270 (not the default)
    and i'm trying to set the following parameters on the new instance:
    dedicated server mode
    db_block_buffers 16.384
    shared_pool_size 83.886.080
    processes 150
    log_buffer 655.360
    open_cursors 1.024
    sort_area_size 1.048.576
    sort_area_retained_size 1.048.576
    this is my /etc/system:
    ** Kernel Parameters on our SUN Enterprise with 640MB for Oracle 8.1.x*
    set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
    set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1

    set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1500
    set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
    set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
    but as the "create database" starts, i get the ORA-01034 ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE error.
    i found this info in the crdb1.log:
    Connected.
    ORA-00101: invalid specification for system parameter MTS_DISPATCHERS
    CREATE DATABASE "ADS"
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    Disconnected.
    but why do i have the MTS_DISPATCHERS paramenter if i set dedicated server mode? i guess i don't need MultiThreading...
    anyway, are the semmsl, semmni, semmns parameters correctly configured? i rememeber i had a similar error and these parameters were to set correctly to make it work, but this time i can't find out the point!!!
    please, it's very urgent...
    thankx a lot!
    matte

    i'm installing a new instance, so i don't need neither to set ORACLE_SID, nor to connect to db. i mean... i give my oracle sid in the GUI of the dbassist.
    then it's supposed to set it and connect to the instance by its own. the point is that when it tryes the connect internal, it fails.
    i bet the trouble is in the /etc/system parameters, but i don't know exactly where....
