ORA-00205: Error in Identifying Control File after Restart the Database

Updated May 19, 2018

Hello Experts,

I have created database manually and it is created. After restart the database i am seeing the error:

SQL> startup

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

Here my alert log

    Please check how many control file you have in database.

    Check in your pfile edit tht control file parameter and check if that file exists in that same location or is there any changes need to be done and change that later start the database again with that updated control file and your done.
