Hello All,
We are using Oracle 11g (enterprise edtion) in Windows server 2008. Whenever we reboot the machine we are not able to connect the database.
Following output indicate the errors.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
:\Users\Administrator.F1STD.000>sqlplus dbo/<password>@<connect string>

ERROR:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
Enter user-name:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To resolve the issue we have to connect the DB as sys user and shutdown and start the DB manually. As shown follows

C:\Users\Administrator.F1STD.000>sqlplus /nolog

Any clue why this is happening.
