ORA-01031 with sqlplus / as sysdba whereas sqlplus sys/pw as sysdba works
Hi, I have a problem on our exadata-machine with different EBS-Oraclehomes (11.2.0.2).
I have cloned an Oracle-home using another user who belongs to the appropriate groups. Modified permissions and ownership of all files belonging to this Oracle-home.
For making a dbclone I have copied the passwordfile from dbhome1 to dbhome2.
So far, and after hours of trying, googling I haven't been able to do the following:
sqlplus / as sysdba
This results in ORA-0131 Insufficient privileges.
sqlplus sys/pw as sysdba works
So with RMAN I'm able to connect to target (source) and auxiliary (target) through sys/pw@dbname1 and 2.
But the duplicate crashes with a Segmentation Fault, probably due to that somewhere underwater it tries to connect '/ as sysdba' .
I've relinked oracle-home after modifying config.c, but with no success. I'm lost. The owner of this oracle-home has a username consisting of 13 characters. Tried, as I need another clone, also with a username with 12 characters, but that gives the same result. Probably it's easy to fix and a minor thing, but for now I'm lost.
Thanx in advance.
