Dear All,
I am getting the below error while starting the database:
We are using VMware and the database version is 11.2.0.3
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Thu Oct 24 10:21:10 2013

Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup nomount

Please let me know how to go forward ?..
Is this issue related to Oracle or OS VMware ?..
