hai,

in our oracle 9i server on linux the oracle gets started when os restarted.but now it is not getting up as the "/ as sysdba" is not accessible since it blows insufficient privileges.

we know the passwd of sys user and connect as sysdba but we are in need of / passwd as that passwd is used to get the db up at the time of restart using dbstart shell script in linux.that / passwd is not getting right and hence the problem.now , how to revert the passwd back or else what is the solution..? plz help.

regards
bala

My understanding about your problem is,
your dbstart / dbshut in linux is not working.
Am i right?
If so,
1. When you reset sys password, did you also reset the
passwordfile?. Always do a clean shutdown. Reset the
passwordfile using orapwd. Startup.
2. Are you using any advanced security options / sqlnet encryption.
( The specific entries in sqlnet.ora will NOT let the dbstart to connect / as sysdba.) Same applies with srvctl in RAC environment.
3. Make sure the user issuing this has proper rights and
environment. Use `oracle` OS user to do this ( preferably). and
all the users issuing dbstart/dbshut should be included in dba
group.

following is a typical oratab file.
at the end entries are seperate by : 'colon'.
ORACLE_SID:ORACLE_HOME:Y/N

bash-2.03$ cat /var/opt/oracle/oratab
#

# This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh
# and updated by the Database Configuration Assistant when creating
# a database.

# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates
# the entry. Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.
#
# Entries are of the form:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:
#
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
#
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
mutation:/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0:Y

the /var/opt/oracle/oratab location is mine.
Look for yours as referenced in your dbstart/dbshut.
>>oracle_sid : /mnt/ora_system/oracle/9.2.0:Y
replace oracle_sid with YOUR ORACLE_SID
then do dbstart/dbshut.

see ,

it is already set as
oracle_sid:$oracle_home:y

the scenario is dbstart/dbshut are working if we manually type dbstart/dbshut in the prompt.but after restarting the server, it is not picking up automatically by LINUX blowing insufficient privileges due to passwd change and it also set right.however connect / as sysdba is not getting up with the sysdba's old passwd which we set right using orapwd tool.so, if connect / as sysdba is set right ,then it will up automatically.plz help in this issue as we could not come everytime when the server is restarted to make the db up.
