XE DB:ORACLE Initialization or shutdown in progress

Open Dos command Prompt
c:> sqlplus /nolog
sql> connect sys/manager as sysdba
sql>shutdown immediate
sql> startup
sql> exit

you might get an error while start up i.e.

 ORA-00333: redo log read error block *Number* count *Number*

Step 1: As the Db is in mount mode, We can query v$log & v$logfile to identify the status of log file group and their member.

 SQL> select l.status, member from v$logfile inner join v$log l using (group#); 
 STATUS  MEMBER
 ------------- --------------------------------------
 CURRENT /oracle/fast_recovery_area/redo01.log
 INACTIVE /oracle/fast_recovery_area/redo02.log
 INACTIVE /oracle/fast_recovery_area/redo03.log


 
Step 2: Recover the database using ackup controlfile.

 SQL> recover database using backup controlfile;
ORA-00279: change  generated at  needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oracle/fast_recovery_area/archivelog/o1_mf_1_634_%u_.arc
ORA-00280: change  for thread 1 is in sequence #
Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}



Step3: Give 'CURRENT' log file member along with location as input. If it does not work give other log file members along with location in input prompt. In our case we give 
/oracle/fast_recovery_area/redo01.log
Log applied.
Media recovery complete.



Step 4: Open the database with reset logfile

SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Database altered.
