The Upgrade Assistant failed in bringing up the database <db_name>. Oracle Home <ORACLE_HOME> obtained from file /etc/oratab was used to connect to the database. Either database is not running from Oracle Home <ORACLE_HOME> or correct initialization Parameter file (pfile) was not found.
To start the database, Oracle needs the pfile. Provide the full path name of the init file for the database <db_name>
