The main issue is "Cannot use sqlplus / as sysdba to logon to the two nodes of a RAC".This is a new 2 node install. I can log onto sqlplus sys/password@SID as sysdba, sqlplus sys/password@SID1 as sysdba & sqlplus sys/password@SID2 as sysdba from both nodes. I cannot logon as sys / as sysdba (running Oracle 10gR2Enterprise Edition - 64bit Windows 2008r2). We need this to run because I am trying to set system in archivelog mode. Once I shut the database down -- I cannot log onto sqplus to perform the following; startup no mount. Even when all the instances are up -- I cannot logon sqlplus / as sysdba -- I get ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error. The login OS user is part of the local administrator and ora_dba group (Windows), in the registery autostart, shutdown is set to TRUE, shutdowntype is set to immediate & ORAMTS_OSCREDS_MATCH_LEVEL is set to OS_Auth_Login.In sqlnet.ora suthentication_service = (NTS). I have even set environment on node 1 as set ORACLE_SID=SID1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers Al

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

did you start the Oracle service?

As I ubderstand it, your immediate problem is that you can't startup in mode mount, which is necessary to enable archivelog mode. Have you tried with the srvctl utility? Do this, from either node:

srvctl stop database -d SID -o immediate
srvctl start instance -d SID -i SID1 -o mount

sqlplus sys/password@sid1 as sysdba
alter database archivelog
alter database open

srvctl start instance -d SID -i SID2

Then you can sort out your problem, which is that your operating system authentication isn't working.

Hi John, Thank you for your response. I have done as you have suggested but even if the database is mounted using the srvctl commands you have provided - I can see from the alert log
"Mon Dec 13 13:02:02 2010
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT
Mon Dec 13 13:02:02 2010
This instance was first to mount
Setting recovery target incarnation to 2
Mon Dec 13 13:02:08 2010
Successful mount of redo thread 1, with mount id 2720331146
Mon Dec 13 13:02:08 2010
Database mounted in Shared Mode (CLUSTER_DATABASE=TRUE)
Completed: ALTER DATABASE MOUNT"
I still can not logon to database as sqlplus sys/password@sid1 as sysdba -- so that I can run the alter database archivelog command -- the cursor hangs up and there is no output.
Cheers
Al

>I cannot logon sqlplus / as sysdba -- I get ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error.
Please understand that when no "@TNS_ALIAS" exists as part of connection string,
then SQL*Net should not be involved to complete the connection request & no TNS error.
ORA-12560 can result when OS/networking misconfiguration exists.

"the cursor hangs up and there is no output" is not an Oracle error message. You need to describe your problem better, using copy-paste would help.
In your first post you said "I can log onto sqlplus sys/password@SID as sysdba" are you saying that you can't do this anymore?

Hi John,
I can not log into sqlplus sys/password@sid1 as sysdba or sqlplus sys/password@sid as sysdba when I have mounted the database as per your instructions i.e. after C:\>srvctl start instance -d sid -i sid1 -o mount. Note - database at this stage is mounted and not open. Cheers Al

"I can not log into sqlplus" is not an Oracle error message. I can't take this further, as you haven't provided the necessary information. Perhaps someone else can help.

Can occur when OS/networking misconfiguration exists.
Hostname has multiple different values on same system.
Post content of "hosts" file.

Hi BlackSwan,
Sorry for the delay -- my hosts file in both nodes are same -- i.e .
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

at the OS level two services need to be running; one for the database & one for the listener.

have both been started?

Hi BlackSwan,
I do not have any issues with Oracle RAC -- Have done all the cluster test etc and the clients connect to RAC with no issues. OS Oracle/Listener services running on both nodes. My only issue that I am trying to resolve is" why I can not log onto to either of the nodes with" sqlplus / as sysdba ?
Cheers
