It is a lock file.
When a database starts, one of the background processes locks the file
(creating it first if necessary). An attempt to start up the database again
will fail because the old background process holds the lock,
preventing the new background process from getting it.

Hi!
In $ORACLE_HOME/dbs there is a file called lk<SID>. I wanted to find out
more details about it. In Metalink there is a forum post that says
"Please refer to note <Note:50594.1> which explains the use of this
file.". But there is no note 50594.1 on Metalink.=20
Does anybody know the correct note number?
This is 9.2 on HP_UX 11i.
Thanks,
Helmut
