To check and troubleshooting for the start up and shutdown problems you can check to startup and shutdown log in folder \usr\sap\\DVEBMGS\work. Where SID : your SAP system ID, SN : your SAP Central Instance System Number.
Check for error log in some logfiles such as dev_ms, dev_disp, dev_w0, sapstart.log, sapstartsrv.log. After you fix the problem you can then retry the startup process.
