Cant create Database using dbassist

[trogen]

Ok, heres the next problem,
when I run svrmgrl,
I do a connect internal,
then I cant do a startup because obviously there is no database to connect to.
So how do I run the script on svrmgrl?

[mhaller]

startup nomount pfile=/../../../init.ora

[trogen]

now this may sound really odd,
but when I do a connect internal on svrmgrl,
it asks me for a password?????

[mhaller]

There must be a password file. Look in ORACLE_HOME/dbs for a file called orapwd*.

THe problem is dbassist should create a initSID.ora file,
which it is not, which does not let me do anything beyond that.
So any clues on why isnt the initSID.ora file being created?

edit initSID.ORA, change REMOTE_PASSWORD_FILE to NONE

REMOTE_PASSWORD_FILE=NONE

If you are going to create your database through server manager, as has been suggested because dbassist isn't working, you'll need to create your init.ora yourself.

[trogen]

you mean initSID.ora?
or init.ora
because init.ora is there.
but initSID.ora isnt.
So how do I edit the initSID.ora to change the remote password when there is no initSID.ora?

[mhaller]

You need to create your initSID.ora yourself.

two things:
I did a reboot, and did a connect internal on svrmgrl and i got connected.
Now I need to create my own initSID.ora,
where can I get a sample initSID.ora file from to make the changes?
