cannot mount database in exclusive mode

edited Jan 23, 2013 11:49AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓
I have a database giving me headache.  Everytime the database is re-started, it won't open.  Later I find out it was not mounted and when I tried to mount, it gave me the 'cannot mount database...' error.  I did some research and was able to bring is up by using  an existing .ora file  with script  'startup nomount pfile=...; alter database mount; alteer database open;'

However, it won't hold. Whenever I restart the server, it failed to open again and I needed to re-do the steps to bring it up.  I must have missed something when I created this database in the first place.  Any suggestions?

Howdy, Stranger!
