CRS-0254: authorization failure

Padmocho-OracleAug 6 2009 — edited Sep 22 2009
Hi,

I have a Windows 2003 Server machine running on 2 nodes with Oracle DB 10.2.0.4

When I try to stop one of the instances I get the following error:

CRS-0254: authorization failure


I am logged in with my domain user account which belongs to a domain-Admin group which in turn is attached to local-Admin group.

On metalink I found Note 550849.1 which explains that the user who created DB and services must be the same as the user who installed the Oracle software. Now, the thing I don't understand is this:

1. When I click on oracle.exe file Properties > Security tab > Advanced button > Owner tab I can see:
Current owner of this item:
Administrators (myserver\Administrators)

2. However, when I check the permissions of the services with getperm:

C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\BIN>crs_getperm ora.RACDB.db
Name: ora.RACDB.db
owner:system:rwx,pgrp::---,other::r--,

I can see system as the owner.

Now, there is no SYSTEM user that I can see in my local accounts so the question is - what exactly is that SYSTEM owner coming from?
