That is a knwon problem. When the filesystem with the parameterfiles is running out of diskspace and you try to change parameters than the database kernel tries to create a new parameter file. But caused by the missing disk space only the filename can be created with no parameter in there. Therefore the error message is understandable as there are really no parameters in there :-). So please have a look for the parameterfile at <indepdatapath>/config/<DB-SID> (in a SAP R/3 environment it is usually the file /sapdb/data/config/<SID>) and the older versions of the parameterfiles marked with a .01, .02, .03 etc. extention. Now you have the possibility: 1. you can manually move back the right parameterfile to the filename <DB-SID> (compare the last change date of that files) or 2. use the official dbmcli command param_restore.
