sqlplus and rman using the wrong oracle home path

edited Apr 21, 2016 5:00AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

I have added the database on the /etc/oratab to point to the new Oracle Home. However, when I attempt to do startup nomount, it is still trying to find the pfile in the old Oracle Home.  Is there another file that I need to check to make oracle home point to the new location, 12.1.0/dbhome_1?  RMAN duplicate fails because of this error too.  Thanks.

SQL> connect sys@JAVADG as sysdba

Enter password:

Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup nomount;

ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters

LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/dbs/initJAVADG.ora'

Howdy, Stranger!
