Subject: clone creations fails with shared memory realm already exists
Ok I am confused. I am trying to make a thin clone of our database from one
server to another. Something I have done many times. I use NetApp Snap Manager
for Oracle. Oracle EE 12.2.0.1 running on Oracle Linux 7. The clone process is
failing with ORA-27100: shared memory realm already exists.
This database does not currently exist. I ran a ps -ef | grep for my database
name and no process are found. There is nothing in /etc/oratab. I've tried
adding an entry to make sure a database with that name is not running. There
is no pfile, spfile, password file. I've checked /dev/shm for any files
related to my database name and there is nothing. I don't understand by it
thinks shared memory realm already exists.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff
