Hi Mark not sure what to look for with that. There is 22 other databases
running on this server. Its a dev server with a bunch of clones and little
use.

*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
