I have 2 oracle (8.1.7)instances running. However, when I try to start the third oracle instance (8.0.6) I get the following error message : -"
MP30DBS.oracle@/u03/oradata/MP30DBS $svrmgrl
Oracle Server Manager Release 3.0.6.0.0 - Production
(c) Copyright 1999, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
Assertion failed: !(fgets(hardwareAddr, (STRLEN-1), fstream) == NULL), file snlui.c, line 1250
Abort(coredump)
"
I have checked that oracle is part of the oinstall group. What i don't understand is why I am getting this error message when I can get the other two databases up. I added the sys group to oracle ( I know that is bad), but after I did that I was able to startup the oracle instance. However, I am unable to run any scripts against it as it comes up with the same error. ie : -

I have checked my kernal parameters but they look fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

SolutionJust a hunch, did you happen to forget to run root.sh after your installation?
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
The permissions of kmem should be :
crw-r----- 1 bin sys 3 0x000001 Nov 27 2000 /dev/kmem
I think you are not able to bring the other instance up, because it was not installed/setup correctly. That's the reason adding dba to sys group got it working (since sys is the group owner of kmem). I woudl suggest to, Recheck the oracle install .

Re: cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
thanks for getting back to me.
I ran the rooh.sh script again. And this seams to have solved my first problem ie connecting into svrmgrl. However, when trying to execute the script I still get the same rror message. Any more ideas?

Re: cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
Just a hunch. Have you tried configuring /etc/privgroup or use setprivgrp to assign MLOCK privileges to the dba group?
For more information, man 1m setprivgrp. If I recall correctly, this information can be found in the installation manuals of certain releases of Oracle.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
thanks for getting back to me.
The problem was that lanscan had its permissions set incorrectly. I don't know how but it did.
Thanks once again
