Missing db files

[blainepruitt]

Greetings all,

I am a Solaris admin trying to resolve an issue we are having with one of our Oracle databases.

Recently we loaded an 8.0.5 database on a Solaris 8 server. After rebooting permissions were changed on the /u01 directories, but nothing else. We set the permissions properly and then rebooted, all appeared well. We rebooted several more times and figured the problem to be an anomaly.

We noticed our database taking a large amount of RAM resources and decided to take the server down begin fine tuning if needed. Our DBA shutdown the database, and I rebooted the machine. After the reboot we were missing our db files, but everything else was still in place with the proper permissions.

Has anyone seen similar symptons? I have setup and configured several Oracle databases and can't seem to figure out what is causing these issues.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

What does missing mean?
If no one deleted them at the file system level, they should still exist..

Check the permissions again..
