Can't connect to Oracle with sqlplus /nolog as sysdba

471379Nov 23 2010 — edited Nov 23 2010
Oracle has gone bad on the [Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)] box taking up all the CPU.

When I try and connect with sqlplus /nolog as sysdba nothing happens, no output.

Any ideas, apart from restarting the box please?

We tried killing all the Oracle processes too & restarting the listener, but this just gives the same...

Log follows...

version = 10.2.0.1.0

Oh, its happened before, last time we couldn't work it out either so restarted the box - it was fine then.

(lots of playing with listener - but it won't start and it won't let me connect with sqlplus /nolog)

Killed all Oracle processors, still can't connect to sqlplus
