ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress..

Answer / pankaj

1. Startup the database with the mount option

SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 2684354560 bytes
Fixed Size 1981064 bytes
Variable Size 436209016 bytes
Database Buffers 2231369728 bytes
Redo Buffers 14794752 bytes
Database mounted.

2. Find the name of the redo log file which belongs to
the active group

SQL> SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOG G, V$LOGFILE F WHERE
G.GROUP# = F.GROUP#
2 AND G.STATUS = 'CURRENT';

MEMBER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/OraRedo/RedoLogFiles/siamst_log01.dbf

3. Using a backup control file, start the cancel based
recovery. The system may suggest a non-existing archive log
-- ignore it and specify the log file name {with full path}
that you got in the above step

SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL
CANCEL
ORA-00279: change 21375038 generated at 09/21/2007
20:12:47 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion :
/export/pspp/oracle/dbs/arch1_4_633901491.dbf
ORA-00280: change 21375038 for thread 1 is in sequence #4

Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
/OraRedo/RedoLogFiles/siamst_log01.dbf
Log applied.
Media recovery complete.

4. Finally open the database in RESETLOGS mode. It is
recommended to reset the online logs after incomplete
recovery or recovery with a backup control file

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Database altered.
