Insufficient privileges.

[Arbe]

All,

I'm createing a new db in 9i (on SUN Solaris).
I've create the passwordfile,
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwdLVISION password=oracle entries=5

but now when I try to start creating the db, I've got the following problem:

sqlplus /nolog

SQL>connect sys/oracle as sysdba

Connected to an idle instance.


When I want to do a startup nomount pfile=...,
I get the error:

Insuficient privileges.

I don't understand, as I'm connected as sysdba!!!

Can anyone help me with this?

Thx,

Rik

Delete password file and create database and then create password file...
