My guess is that to start up or shut down a database remotely, you have to use connect <user>/<password> as sysdba;  

You will probably need a password file.  

See Note 1029539.6 on Metalink which describes how to create password file.  

HTH,

Guys

Trying to automate rman cold backups using sql*plus versus svrmgrl. RMAN is local and target databases are remote. Executing the following (just from a script seems to work just fine interactively):

         $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus /nolog <<-EOD

         connect system/password;

         @tst2.sql;

         shutdown abort

         @tst2.sql;

         startup pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init$DBNAME.ora;

         spool $STATUSFILE

         select status from v\$instance where status = 'MOUNTED';

         spool off

         EOD     SQL> Connected.

SQL> Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

SQL> not spooling currently

SQL> select status from v$instance where status = 'MOUNTED'

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available    

SQL> not spooling currently

SQL> SP2-0042: unknown command "EOD" - rest of line ignored.

SQL> SQL> Disconnected
