Two things that bit me: sqlnet*1 and sqldba are obsolete in 7.3. Neither was a huge problem, but being a novice Oracle administrator it took some investigation to fix the problem. In the first case, we were using an old dbora start script that tried to start orasrv for sqlnet*1.
Even more confusing, this script called bin/dbstart, which also appears to be obsolete because it uses sqldba to start the server. I worked around that by simply using the old sqldba, but I guess the correct thing to do is write a script that uses svrmgrl instead. Why do they include dbstart on the CD if it's obsolete? Is there a startup script that replaces it?
