ORA-01031: insufficient privileges when connecting sys AS SYSDBA

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
------------------------------------------------

We are able to connect db with sys as sysdba but not with sqlplus sys/password@dba as sysdba



This issue usually come when we do rename databases or creation of data guard databases where we do add STATIC listner entry and forgot copying the correct password file from primary to standby database ...etc. few times i have come across....

The solution for this is simply simple.. create a new password file when we renamed the database/sid/dbname

the command syntax is :

 
 cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
orapwd file=orapw password=password entries=10

in case of standby database:

on standby db:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

scp  orapwPRIMARYDB username@standbydbhostname:oraclehomedirectorypath/dbs/orapwSTANDBY


Verification:
---------------------

 export ORACLE_SID=SID
sqlplus sys/password@sid as sysdba

it should work now..
