Hello,

I have a problem that when I attempt to open a database I get the following error message:

ORA-27086: unable to lock file - already in use
Linux-x86_64 Error: 5: Input/output error

I've removed the lk<sid>.ora files in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
Is there anything else I can do to unlock these files?

I know how this problem started - it was after a database rename, however the database was working fine right until now.
