Oracle not getting Start

[#1]

Dear Experts,

Oracle was down and we are unable to start it up now.

I am getting the error "ORA-01012: not logged on" once I gave startup; command.

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Thu Feb 6 09:19:00 2014

Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected.
SQL> startup;
ORA-01012: not logged on
SQL>

Could you please help me to sort it out.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It seems your DB is already up and running (it says "connected" instead of "connected to idle instance").

Stop SAP instance and try to shutdown the database. Take a reboot of server.

If same issue, then past last 50 lines of alertSID.log
