To check whether spfile is being used or not


At SQL prompt execute the following command

SQL> SHOW PARAMETER SPFILE

NAME TYPE
VALUE
------------------------------
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------
spfile string


If the value column displays NULL then the instance is started with
pfile else instance was started with spfile.
