Before you can log in with svrmgrl you must set ORACLE_SID to the sid that was created (look in /var/opt/oracle/oratab) and you must also have ORACLE_HOME set to the base directory for oracle - you can also get this from /var/opt/oracle/oratab. Once you do that you should be able to log in with svrmgrl. According to Oracle, however, you should be using sqlplus to log in and forget that svrmgrl is even there.

It probably would have been better if you had actually had an Oracle DBA do the installation. Received on Mon May 22 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
