Unable to access database using / as sysdba

edited Nov 5, 2015 2:42PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 12 commentsAnswered

Hi,

For some unknown reason I am unable to access the database using the following command :

sqlplus / as sysdba

I get an ORA-01031 : Insufficient Privileges

I am able to log on to the database as sys and checked that I have a password file. 

I have also checked the v$pwfile_users table and the sys user is in there with a TRUE against the sysdba column.

Not sure what else to check.


Any ideas?


Thanks
