Oracle Database Discussions

Hi All,

I have Oracle 11G running on RHEL 5.2 server and unexpectedly I can't start database after a server reboot. I have executed the following commands,

sqlplus /as sysdba
SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/inittestdb.ora'
SQL>

and then


SQL> startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/admin/testdb/pfile/init.ora.1024201018143'
ORACLE instance started.

Here are the alert log messages,

ORA-00210: cannot open the specified control file

[oracle@trace]$ ls -l /u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb

There are are no control files in the directory and I couldn't find them on the disk. Unfortunately, I do not have backups for dbs (this is a staging server). Is there any way we can recover those files or fix the problem ?

Could someone please help us on this?

Thanks
