ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

Hi *,

I applied the 9.2.0.6 patch to one of our database servers, running 9.2.0.4.

The installation completed without any errors (i used a response file with the silent option).

When i now try to connect to the instance as sys or system i get the following:

user_at_host:lib [15] sqlplus "/as sysdba"

user_at_host:lib [16] echo $ORACLE_SID

planet
