Hi: I have an Oracle 8173 db running on Solaris 2.8 box (called rex) and today I found something that I am trying to understand. When I login to the Unix box as user "oracle" (which I used to install oracle software), I can manaully run svrmgrl, then connect as "internal", I can do "startup" and "shutdown immediate" with no problem. I have been doing this for years.
But if I still log in as "oracle", at unix prompt I do: rex$ which dbstart /oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/dbstart rex$ dbstart SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Wed Sep 3 20:57:16 2003 (c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. connect internalORA-01031: insufficient privileges connect internal Database "YPD" warm started. rex$ ps -ef|grep oracle oracle 2268 1 0 16:54:27 ? 0:00 /oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit oracle 11195 11152 0 20:57:26 pts/2 0:00 grep oracle oracle 11152 11150 0 20:56:19 pts/2 0:00 -sh I know "dbstart" worked before because it was called by "auto start" script that I put in /etc/init.d/oracle and /etc/rc2.d/S99oracle last year. I also checked /var/opt/oracle/oratab and environmental variables: rex$ env|grep ORACLE ORACLE_ADMIN=/oracle/admin ORACLE_BASE=/oracle ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/8.1.7 ORACLE_SID=YPD And they seem working fine (again I can use svrmgrl without any problems). Does anyone know where I should fix so I can start the instance by running script "dbstart"? TIA.
