Hello,
I am new to Oracle. I am a linux engineer who has been given a task to test oracle on windows 2008 R2. I installed Oracle 11g on 2008R2 in our test environment. I was able to create a sample database as well - all on C drive. However when I try to create another database on mapped share (Z), I get the following message. Environment variables are correctly configured.
ORA-19624: operation failed, retry possible
ORA-19870: error while restoring backup piece c:\app\administrator\production\11.2.0\dbhome_1\assistants\dbca\templates\seed_database.dbf
ORA-19504: failed to create "Z:\Data\oracledb1\system01.dbf"
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
If I ignore the message I get the following (I am guessing this is because it's cant find system10.dbf)
ORA-01503: create controlfile failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file "Z:\data\oracledb1\system01.dbf
ORA-27401: unable to open files
I tried creating Custom and General Purpose database (as suggested on one of the google searches) but no luck. I have been googling however no luck. Does oracle support mapped drives? If so how can I make this work - any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rajasi.
