How to connect and start Oracle 7 database:

I started my job as DBA from oracle 9i, when I had a situation to start a version 7 DB it took me few minutes to find and resolve. Today after few years there was a need to check db status of version 7 database and my friend asked how? so I thought put this steps here though now there are very less version 7,8 databases.

1) Connect to  SVRMGRL
apu82$ svrmgrl

2) Connect to database as internal

SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected to an idle instance.

3) Startup the database

SVRMGR> startup
