oracle 817 won't start...

2001-05-08 Thread lwm

Hi All,
I'm experimenting with oracle 817 on a w2k box. It was
running fine, but this morning it refused to start.
When I tried to log onto the oracle server, I got the
following error message:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

I searched the web for a solution and tried a few
things including using ORADIM to auto start the oracle
server, but nothing seemed to work. As far as I know,
there's no system change since I started it last time
and all oracle related services appeared to be
running. 

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks a lot.

WL

 One additional bit of information is that I can open up a DOS prompt 
set my ORACLE_SID use and use svrmgrl. I first have
 to do a shutdown abort, but can then do a startup and the database 
works fine. No problems connecting or anything.
 However, if I reboot after that, I return to the same issue. Even 
after restarting the database manually, I cannot go into the
 services and restart the database. I get the following message from 
Microsoft Management Console: Could not start the
 OracleServiceSTOEMADM service on Local Computer. Ther service did 
not return an error. This could be an internal
 Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, 
contact your system administrator. (STOEMADM is my
 instance name). This definately points to a registry/services 
problem. I still cannot find anything wrong in the registry or the
 service. Any ideas?

 Verify that ORACLE_SID is set and points to a valid 8.1.7 database 
which is up and running. Previously when the
 ORACLE_HOME or ORACLE_SID was set incorrectly, in the 'oracle' or 
client user's environment, only ora-1034 was
 reported. ORA-01034 ORACLE not available With 8.1.7, the ora-27101 
is reporting that the shared memory key
 generated by the client doesn't match any currently existing keys. 
This is to be expected if the ORACLE_HOME used by the
 client isn't the same as the one used to startup the database with 
OR the ORACLE_SID is not correctly referencing the right
 instance. 

 If your ORACLE_SID is correctly set, confirm that ORA_SID_AUTOSTART 
of registry is set to TRUE. There was an
 internal bug (1283305/1317791)logged on the autostart not working 
properly, however, the bug was to be fixed in 8.1.7. Let
 me know if you are still having problems after checking the above 
parameters.

 I found a TNS error that was occuring during service startup. If you 
comment out the
 SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) in your 
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file, the problem
 goes away

 The latest 8.1.7 patch is 8.1.7.1.2. This patch needs to be applied 
to 8.1.7.1.1 (this patch contains the fix). Both of these
 patches can be found on MetaLink by using the NEW! click here for 
all product patches link. The base bug is documented
 within the readme as: 1336566. Thank you for this post.

note: there are 3 bugs with this functionality:

  bug:1568668 shows that the shutdown options
  are not working on 8.1.7.0.0,
  8.1.5 and 8.1.6 are NOT affected by this bug.
  A fix is foreseen in 8.1.7.1.

  bug:724051 is that an NT shutdown does not perform a clean
  database shutdown due to a change in behavior from WINNT SP4
  and higher versions.
  Stopping the service itself is working fine, the fix is
  placing an ORAIMR8.dll in the
