    rman insufficient privileges

    Can somebody explain this why my SQPLUS connection works and my RMAN
    connection does not and how do I rectify the RMAN issue.


    $ sqlplus system/system@PBH1020

    You must connect as a user that has SYSDBA privileges.

    I think this is an issue with my oracle password file.

    In my init.ora file I have the following:

    *.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'

    When I go into sqplus and try to grant permissions I get the error below.
    How do you tell the database what the location of the orapwd file?

    This is the part I am not getting.Is there some parameter in the init.ora that does this? Ie orapwd_file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapass

    Does the password file have to contain the name of the SID init like
    the init.ora file?



    sqlplus '/ as sysdba'

    You should use orapwd to create the file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. The filename must be of the format orapw<sid>.

    and do NOT grant sysdba to system - do not touch oracle accounts, create your own
