ORA-00201: controlfile version incompatible

412134Jul 14 2006 — edited Jul 14 2006

Hi all,
I'm getting a strange error while starting my database. It says:

SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 454104492 bytes
Fixed Size 452012 bytes
Variable Size 268435456 bytes
Database Buffers 184549376 bytes
Redo Buffers 667648 bytes
ORA-00201: controlfile version 9.2.0.0.0 incompatible with ORACLE version
9.2.0.0.0
ORA-00202: controlfile: '/mart/oradata/csdm/control01.ctl'

The version parameter in the init file is: 9.2.0.0.0, so ideally this should not arise.
I am getting similar errors for all other copies of control files in the database. There are total 3 control files and basically all the files are giving me the same error.
Please help.

Also, I can't create a copy of control file since it is not in open state.

Please Help!!
~Raj
