Hi,
I'm trying to create a small test database - Oracle 7.3.2 on Solaris 2.5 - to be used as a simple test db. I've copied the init.ora file for my production database to create a new one for the test db, changed ORACLE_SID for my session and simply issued a CREATE DATABASE statement while connected internal in svrmgr and after a STARTUP NOMOUNT. This creates all of the .dbf files and then gives me ORA error 603 - Oracle server session rerminated by fatal error.

At this point the only file that appears to be missing is the orapw file for the instance.

Any idea what error I may be getting here and how to fix it?

Thanks,
