Could not start ArcSDE - Check Network, $SDEHOME disk, DBMS settings....
Today, I created multiple ArcSDE service instances and few services deletion. When I started one of the service, it has thrown an error "could not start ArcSDE..." for the command sdemon -o start -i esri_sde.
Then I tried with sdemon -o start -i esri_sde -H c:\arcgis\arcsde\ora10gexe\. It started properly. I am not sure whether the deletion of the service instance esri_sde has not done properly...
