Unable to connect ORA 01034, 27101

Hi,
My linux 64bit machine was restarted after a power failure. To start my Oracle 10g server on it, I issued commands
emctl start dbconsole
isqlplusctl start
lsnrctl start
Then I tried to connect as scott/tiger then it gave errors:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
I connected as / as sysdba, then it gave me message "Connected to an idle instance" and gave the SQL prompt.
I find most common solution for the above issue is to check ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME variables. I checked the variables are proper.
When I try "emctl stop dbconsole" it says Failed to shutdown dbconsole gracefully.
I will appreciate if anybody can give some inputs.
newbie.

Hi,
Connect to sqlplus and startup the instance!# sqlplus /nolog
SQL > CONN / AS SYSDBA
SQL > STARTUPYou can check the instance is running via# ps -ef | grep pmonIf the process monitor (pmon) for your instance ($ORACLE_SID) is running, then the instance is started up.

Yoann.

But my doubt is:Why such an error message?

Unable to Connect, ORA 12154, Setup routine for Microsoft ODBC errors

Hi all,
I have a Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit SP1 system and I wanted to be able to connect to an oracle database server. However, I am facing a problem with ODBC configuration.
I have currently installed both below in ... product\11.2.0\client_1 folder:
1. Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html
2. 64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html
I launched ODBC Data Source Administrator and added a User DSN but resulted to two errors:
1. The setup routines for the Microsoft ODBC for oracle ODBC driver could not be found. Please reintall the driver.
2. The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the driver and application.
On top of that, if I go to System DSN tab, and tried to test the connection it give me an error:
1. Unable to connect SQLState = 08004 [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolved the identifier specified.
Can someone please guide me through this? Thanks in advance!

You only need one of these (the second one should suffice).
I launched ODBC Data Source Administrator and added a User DSN but resulted to two errors:
1. The setup routines for the Microsoft ODBC for oracle ODBC driver could not be found. Please reintall the driver."Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" is a different provider than "Oracle ODBC". Make sure you're not using the Microsoft one.
2. The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the driver and application.This can happen if you're mixing 32-bit and 64-bit. There's two ODBC control panels in Windows 7:
- the 64 bit one is the one in control panel
- the 32 bit one is c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
Since you're using a 64 bit Oracle driver, you should be using the 64 bit ODBC administrator, and 64 bit applications. If you're trying to use this ODBC connection with a 32 bit application, you'll need to use the 32 bit ODBC (and the 32 bit Oracle driver).
On top of that, if I go to System DSN tab, and tried to test the connection it give me an error:
1. Unable to connect SQLState = 08004 [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolved the identifier specified.Well that actually means it's loading Oracle correctly, so that's something. You need to add an entry for the server you want to connect to into tnsnames.ora, located in the \network\admin folder inside of your Oracle client installation. Since it sounds like someone else set up the server you want to connect to, your DBA should be able to provide the information that goes into the file.

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

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

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

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

Cant log into SQLPlus receive these error messages ORA-01034 & ORA-27101

Hi
just installed the latest release of Oracle DB 10g personal edition Windows XP Professional and Home Edition (seperate PCs). The installation went pretty smoothly. After the installation the db was up and I tried sqlplus and isqlplus and the html em port, everything worked perfectly (that means, all the hardware and kernel parameter requirements were met). But after a reboot, when I tried to run sqlplus again, got message like this:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
I can't even log onto html port
I googled for solutions, unfortunately no right-to-the-point solution and on other Operating systems
Anyone who could kindly tell me which file(s) to configure and how please? I would be much obliged!

First, make sure that Oracle instance is started. Check processes
Second, make sure that your connection string is correct. Check network configuration files (tnsnames and/or sqlnet .ora)
Third, check if listener is runing and configure correctly(lstnrctl status)

ORA-01034 Could not connect to Oracle company database

Well I am even unable to connect from windows 98 as well from linux server machine where database is installed !
My dbstart is opening the datbase, lsnrctl is working okie, it is showing the services for orcl database, tnsnames.ora is okie.
But when i try to connect using sqlplus from the linux machine or from 98 machine thro' telnet or enterprise manager of 98, it is giving error ORA-01034 oracle not avaiable.
Any guidence.
You can also mail me on [email protected]
I am using oracle 8i 8.1.6
Thanx in advance,

The problem is OBIEE server not able to read the tnsnames.ora file. That depends upon the what you set as ORACLE_HOME. that can be find with tnsping command at command line. Follow this article about setting up oracle home and oci drivers
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/oracle-bi-ee-101332-identifying-oracle-homes-for-oci-drivers/
please make sure that your DB-home is the first entry in your PATH environment variable.
Have you created TNS_ADMIN environment variable. Create a environment variable TNS_ADMIN which maps to location where tnsnames.ora file located.
let me know if you are not able to load after this steps.
