I have a new oracle 11g instance where I installed ArcSDE 10. I want to install 10.1 and so I had my DBA blow away the 10 table space (it's a dev instance). I installed 10.1 and upon trying to start 10.1 using the sdemon -o start command I'm getting the following. Could there still be something from ArcSDE 10 somewhere? Any ideas what I should check?
ArcSDE 10.1 for Oracle11g Build 611 Wed Dec 21 12:41:15 2011 -------------------------------------------------------

Previous SDE Server Release 0.0.0 is not compatible with the current Release 10.1.0.
Could not start ArcSDE -- Check Network, $SDEHOME disk, DBMS settings and dbinit.sde.
I was thinking you had gotten an error about the DBMS client release. Now that I see the error in your last post, though, it looks like you did not create a geodatabase.
Yes, you were right. I had not created an enterprise geodatabase. Now its done.
