Hi guys,

I have a 2-node RAC testing environment and i have been having trouble trying to LOCALLY sqlplus into the ASM instance.
If I do "sqlplus sys/xxxxx@asm1", it just throws "ORA-12505:TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor".
If I do "sqlplus / as SYSASM", it says "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges".
Can' figure out where I did wrong so really appreciate some help here (maybe in the listener file, i should give the GRID home for one of the ORACLE_HOME parameters)?


Here is the tns and listener file:

tnsnames.ora:

ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vbox-cluster)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
)
)

ASM1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vbox-cluster)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = +ASM1)
)
)



listener.ora:

LISTENER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER)))) # line a
dded by Agent
LISTENER_SCAN1=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_SCAN1))))
# line added by Agent
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER_SCAN1=ON # line added by Agent
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER=ON # line added by Agent


SID_LIST_LISTENER_ASM=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(PROGRAM=extproc)
)
(SID_DESC=
(ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(SID_NAME=+ASM1)
)
)
