dbstart not working

[bcre3306]

I have to oracle installs on my AIX 4.3.3 box. One install is 8.0.5 and the database that runs on this version of oracle starts with the dbstart command. The other databases I have on the same box run on 8.1.6. When I run dbstart I get "database name warm started" when I run dbstart. I have all of the databases in the oratab with the correct version of oracle after the name. When I run dbstop they all stop successfully. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
Brian

This is a documented bug. You need to copy dbstart to dbstart0 and then edit the code that looks like this:

if test -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl; then
VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
/PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;
print substr($3,1,3)}'`
i
to look like this:

if test -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl; then
VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
/PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ { print substr($3,1,3); exit }
/Oracle7 Server (Release|Version)/ { print substr($4,1,3); exit }
/Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (Release|Version)/ { print substr($5,1,3); exit }
/Oracle8i (Release|Version)/ { print substr($3,1,3); exit }'`
if test -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl; then
VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
/PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;
print substr($3,1,3)}'`
