My scenario Fresh install of w2k server, sp 3 high end machine, twin 2G processers 4G ram ... Installed Oracle 8.17 release 3, Install went perfectly smooth built 9 databases connected and imported all data I could connect at will ... All was well
The problem: when the machine reboots, the service and database does not start automatically.If I try to sqlplus user/pass@instance I get the "Oracle not available", "shared realm does not exist" (in other words the dbs did not start) I can start manually using startdb.bat svrmgrl.exe command='@C:\db_startup\initdb8i.sql' initdb8i.sql connect internal/pass@db8i startup pfile=R:\OR_8I\ADMIN\DB8I\pfile\init.ora exit The instance starts and all is well #################################################### Ive deleted all the services using Oradim and rebooted, then recreated using rem D:\install\setODIM.bat set db=someinstance sleep 1 ORADIM -DELETE -SID %db% sleep 2 ORADIM -NEW -SID %db% -INTPWD passwd -STARTMODE auto -PFILE D:\OraHome1\admin\%db%\PFILE\init%db%.ora -TIMEOUT 90 sleep 2 ORADIM -SHUTDOWN -SID %db% -USRPWD passwd -SHUTTYPE srvc,inst -SHUTMODE i sleep 2 ORADIM -STARTUP -SID %db% -USRPWD passwd -STARTTYPE srvc,inst -PFILE D:\OraHome1\admin\%db%\PFILE\init%db%.ora echo off echo. echo Done creating oradim entries for %db% ! If I create one service, using the above batch file I can connect to the database, eg ORADIM -STARTUP -SID %db% -USRPWD passwd -STARTTYPE srvc,inst -PFILE D:\OraHome1\admin\%db%\PFILE\init%db%.ora but when the machine reboots and I try to connect I get the oracle not available here are my registry settings http://209.123.6.84/srvreg.jpg This is very frustrating as I had this problem on a server that had the OS upgraded and I could never get the autostart working correctly This is a new machine and I can reboot at will or make any changes (no one is using this server yet) so I really need to get this working. I am at a loss... any suggestions would be appreciated thanks bob -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Bob Metelsky INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
