Using svrmgrl to create new instance

Hello,

I am trying to create a new DB instance. I'm using Oracle 8i 8.1.5 on Solaris 2.6. I've searched through several manuals and deja-news for past posts but am still stumpted.

I have followed this steps (from saikumar_at_nortel.com):

1. Copy the init<oldsid>.ora to init<newsid>.ora & config<sid>.ora
2. Modify the init<newsid>.ora to have appropriate paths for the new instance and the <dbname>.
3. Modify the path for the control file on the config<newsid>.ora.
4. copy the crdb<oldsid>.ora,crdb2<oldsid>.ora to crdb<newsid>.ora, crdb2<newsid>.ora and change the required parameters on the file to point to the new Instance.
5. change the ORACLE_SID on the environment with the new Instance Name.
6. svrmgrl connect internal startup nomount Run the scripts to create the new instance.

But I get stumped at step 6. When I start up svrmgrl and try to connect as internal (using ORACLE as passwd) I get:

ORA-01031 insufficient privileges

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom
