Try this 

 

Startup

Show parameter spfile

Create pfile='file name' from spfile='file name'

Shutdown immediate

Edit your pfile

Startup pfile='file name'

Show parameter audit

Create spfile='file name from show pram' from pfile='file name that you
used for startup'

Shutdown immediate

Startup

Show parameter audit

 

That should do it

I have started with pfile, by changing audit_trail=DB.

 

startup pfile='file name'.

show parameter audit.

audit_trail=DB

create spfile='location' from pfile;

File created..!!

 

but when see the spfile, *.audit_trail='OS';

 

I was thinking that while you do the create spfile, it is creating a
binary copy of pfile matching exactly with pfile.

 

but this is something unexpected I am getting.

If this is a bug or feature this will show it.

You sure you are using the right (default) pfile on startup?

do this;
SQL> startup; [as you normaly would]
SQL> show parameter audit 

???

Something got to be a miss on your end...or this would be a scary
(documented) bug?

I have started my Database with pfile and now want to create spfile. 
 I am using create spfile='location' from pfile;
 When I see the audit parameters in pfile, it is AUDIT_TRAIL=DB,
but in SPFILE it is showing as AUDIT_TRAIL=OS, set previously but
changed
now.
same with few other parameters. 
I changed my init file, bounce DB with pfile and now creating spfile.
 This is 9i with Solaris.
