Received error: ORA-01033: ORACLE initializaton or shutdown in process

Trying to recover the database by shutting down and recover datafile. As a result, trying to log onto Database (sqlplus) but cannot.

I have attempted to log on using "connect /as sysdba" and "connect system/manger as sysdba" but am getting ora-01031: insufficient priviledge"

Any suggestion on how to shutdown database and startup - or in the event of a datafile recovery?

did you see if you have any password file setting enabled ?? also ensure that you are trying to login as sysdba from the same user who own the oracle base ..

First, Check your alert_SID.log file. You will get hints. You got the error ORA-01033 because you tried to login immediately after issuing shutdown command.

Try it once more. It is better if you have test environment.
