Hello.
I have newly installed oracle on solaris OS. I had also created a db using dbca successfully and all was working fine. But after few days, when I was trying to create a db manually. I logged into the machine and did below step just to see the old created db ...How is it working and I got few errors:

SQL> connect /as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 167772160 bytes

SQL> startup mount
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first

Could you please advice - What is going wrong here?

Thank you!

By the way why you issued startup nomount as your objective is to open the database!

Thank ya - It helped.

Actually, I want to create a database manually. I already have one db 'dev102ee' and it works fine created by DBCA.

To create another DB on Solaris now , I did as below:
SQL> shutdown normal;
then from unix prompt:
$export ORACLE_SID=dev102ee

then coming to oracle:
connect / as sysdba - Here again I see SQL> shutdown normal
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> quit
Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
$ export ORACLE_SID=dev103ee
$ sqlplus
