since 8.1.5, svrmgrl and sqlplus are nearly identical, this means: anything you can do with svrmgrl, you can do with sqlplus as well.

>Set the ORACLE_SID correctly, start the svrmgrl from an xterm and then:
in our installation we always go the following way:

- create a user "oracle" with primary group "dba"
- start the installation using this user
- after installing, set ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE and

  ORACLE_HOME in the profile of the oracle-user - after that, you can always switch to the oracle   user (su - oracle) and have the full environment   with all variables and path set correctly; that   means, e.g., you don't have to think about where the   sqlplus binary is located.

...assuming you ran all the required sql-scripts after installing and starting up the database.
