RE: Minimum required init.ora parameters -- "COMPATIBLE" not
Well, actually 8.1.7 can run without COMPATIBLE. Quoting from the 8.1.7 Reference Manual [which is actually the 8.1.6 Reference Manual] : COMPATIBLE Parameter type: String Syntax: COMPATIBLE = release_number Parameter class: Static Default value: 8.0.0 Range of values: Default release to current release Oracle Parallel Server: Multiple instances must have the same value COMPATIBLE lets you use a new release, while at the same time guaranteeing backward compatibility with an earlier release. This ability is helpful in case it becomes necessary to revert to the earlier release. This parameter specifies the release with which the Oracle server must maintain compatibility. It allows you to take advantage of the maintenance improvements of a new release immediately in your production systems without testing the new functionality in your environment. Some features of the current release may be restricted. When using the standby database feature, this parameter must have the same value on the primary and standby databases, and the value must be 7.3.0.0.0 or higher. The default value is the earliest release with which compatibility can be guaranteed. The value of COMPATIBLE must be set to 8.1 or higher in order to use stored columns of UROWID type. You can use ROWID pseudocolumns for index-organized tables regardless of the parameter setting.

RE: Minimum required init.ora parameters
Hemant - I was just going from my hastily written class notes. Sorry about misspelling the parameter. However, just tried it and 8.1.6 won't start without the COMPATIBLE parameter set in init.ora.
