guys, heres the problem, its probably something simple, but I hope you can help.
On solaris, i log in as root, then su - oracle. the db is an 8.1.6 db. i then type svrmgrl, then i connect internal. but it is asking me for a password. i need to shutdown then restart the db for changes in the init.ora to take effect. the oracle user is in the dba group.
is there anyway around this problem.
Chars.
Doug,
I did something on NT, when I got the same problem. But, I don't remember. How many instances you have on the box ? R U using Remote authentication or Not ? Usually its mismatch between ORACLE_SID and corresponding ORACLE_HOME. Try
echo $ORACLE_SID
echo $ORACLE_HOME
and see its pointing to right version. There are bunch of checks to verify whats the problem. Here I am attaching the metalink doc.
