ORA-48108 / ORA-48140 / ORA-48187 - diagnostic_dest value error(s) - init files / control files

 I am running in the below error(s) and seem unable to solve it. Can you please help?

SQL> STARTUP NOMOUNT; 
ORA-48108: invalid value given for the diagnostic_dest init.ora parameter 
ORA-48140: the specified ADR Base directory does not exist [/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/dbs/<ORACLE_BASE>] 
ORA-48187: specified directory does not exist Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 1

init.ora contains: diagnostic_dest='<ORACLE_BASE>'

initpridb.ora contains: diagnostic_dest='u01/app/oracle'

** I have already changed the value to '<ORACLE_BASE>' / '/u01/app/oracle' / '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1' / '|ORACLE_BASE|', no luck - all the same error.

As per my previous research:

When I try to start up like the below:

SQL> startup nomount pfile=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/dbs/initpridb.ora;

I receive the same errors, see below:

ORA-01261: Parameter db_recovery_file_dest destination string cannot be translated
ORA-01262: Stat failed on a file destination directory
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory

UPDATE

UPDATE 2

I updated the init files as suggested. Changed <ORACLE_BASE> to the actual path: /u01/app/oracle/

[oracle@ol12c dbs]$ cat initpridb.ora
...
...
db_name='ORCL'
memory_target=1G
processes = 150
audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump'
audit_trail ='db'
db_block_size=8192
db_domain=''
db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area'
db_recovery_file_dest_size=2G
diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=ORCLXDB)'
open_cursors=300 
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

and

[oracle@ol12c dbs]$ cat init.ora
...
...
db_name='ORCL'
memory_target=1G
processes = 150
audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump'
audit_trail ='db'
db_block_size=8192
db_domain=''
db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area'
db_recovery_file_dest_size=2G
diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=ORCLXDB)'
open_cursors=300 
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

I get the error when not selecting the pfile manually:

SQL> STARTUP NOMOUNT;
ORA-48108: invalid value given for the diagnostic_dest init.ora parameter
ORA-48140: the specified ADR Base directory does not exist [/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/dbs/<ORACLE_BASE>]
ORA-48187: specified directory does not exist
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 1

But it works! :) (I just ran into a new issue but that is probably unrelated to this)

SQL> startup nomount pfile=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsh.ora;
ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 9925

I also noticed that the db_name is set to ORCL for both. Not sure if this will create further issues.

UPDATE 3

FOR: ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file

I checked the Oracle Knowledge Base Documentation: ORA-09925: Unable To Create Audit Trail File at Startup (Doc ID 2267223.1) I am following the steps towards solution. Output of point b:

[oracle@ol12c ~]$ ps -ef|grep LOCAL
oracle    8211  8172  0 14:06 ?        00:00:00 oraclepridb (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))
oracle    8448  8408  0 14:18 pts/1    00:00:00 grep --color=auto LOCAL

And I tried:

[oracle@ol12c ~]$ strace -frT -o /tmp/strace.1.log -p 8211
Process 8211 attached

But this seems to be stuck/loading and thus - I am stuck again.

.


.

UPDATE 4

All got solved. ORACLE instance started.

The last error (ORA-09925) has been resolved by updating the original value of the audit_file_dest parameter from to the correct path. From audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump' To >> audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/pridb/adump'

Action: Check that ALL control files are online and that they are the same files that the system created at cold start time.

Your database must be shutdown first. (And probably it is not working right now.)

First of all, create pfile from spfile by issuing this command:

SQL> create pfile from spfile;

Then look under the directory of $ORACLE_HOME\database. You will find a newly created pfile. (Its name is init<SID>.ora) Edit newly created pfile to correct controlfile locations. Then issue the command below:

SQL> create spfile from pfile;

After that, database will see controlfiles. But if you also have changed datafile locations; you have to rename datafiles in mount mode.

SQL> show parameter control_files
