Barb, check for an LK<dbname> file in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory too. If it's there, delete it. Just another thing to try.

Any ideas on this one (other than reboot the box)??? I cannot start up this database (claims it's already running). Clearly it is not. No background processes for this instance. The only process I see even remotely related to this database is the oracledesi process. (I don't know what that process is.) I do have a semaphore set for oracle. Should I remove it? (I normally have other databases on this box, but I've shut them all down.) This database worked fine till a network device was ripped out from under it, and the HA stuff kicked in and failed it over. Any ideas?
