Cold backup and recovery

anand_gpOct 11 2018 — edited Oct 12 2018

Hi,

I am facing issue in restoring cold backup.  I took cold backup of my DB.  Then re-image my system and installed Oracle again.  Immediately after installation, moved old data files, undo, control, spfile, init.ora, listener and tnsnames.ora files.  But I am not able to start DB now.  I performed below steps -

Shutdown Oracle XE DB  - Release 11.2.0.2.0  (old o/s  Windows 10 64-bit)

Taken complete folder as backup in external drive  (C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\...)

Re-image system (same as earlier Windows 10 64-bit)

Installed Oracle (with same binary: Oracle XE 11.2.0.2.0)  - Successful. Was able to login in.

Shutdown Oracle

Copy all below mentioned files from backup.  (All default folders)

Datafile,Control File,undo files    ...\app\oracle\oradata\XE

spfile,init.ora   ...\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\dbs

tnsnames.ora,listener.ora    ...\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN

Open command prompt (as Administrator)

Startup

And getting below error -

SQL> startup

Can you please help me to solve the issue.  Thanks.
