Re: svrmgrl needs OracleService<SID> on NT, not an Oracle Instance

If you set an environment variable to the Instance's sid ( the last part of the OracleService<sid>) then
connect internal
startup nomount and all other svrmgrl connection stuff wil use that info....

Example:
CMDPROMPT_E:>set ORACLE_SID=orcl
CMDPROMPT_E:>svrmgrl
