Hi,

I have a database that has some important data in it. In this DB , by mistake I ran an import of a huge 69 million rows table. It ran out of UNDO tablespace. I killed import. But then I saw that the table was shown as 'locked' in the v$locked_object. Thereafter I checked the os 'spid' of this session and killed that spid on Solaris. That freed up the object. But then I found that my instance had terminated. When I tried to open the instance, it gave ORA-600 and it did not open. So I tried 'shutdown immediate'. On this command it is hanging for more than one hour with following messages in alert log:

Can someone please suggest on how to fix/troubleshoot the issue? I don't have any backup unluckily!!

Thanks,
