Hi Experts,

Ref : Oracle 9i / AIX / trying to start DB / ORA-01031

Trying to start a 9i DB on AIX 5.2 with below steps but getting ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

---

Unix> ##logged in user oracle ( member of DBA )
Unix> ## Correct SID and ORA_HOME
Unix> sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect system/<password> as sysdba; ERROR: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

---

Also tried
SQL> connect / as sysdba;
ERROR: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

---

Also tried dbstart ==> same error message.

This DB was running till about 24-hours back. Not sure if it crashed.. but oracle_sid.log has no error messages.

export LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin export LIBPATH=${LIBPATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/lib export TWO_TASK=

Any help to get it started is appreciated.
