Lab: Work with database control (1)
• Unlock dbnsmp account on one node:
$ export ORACLE_SID=racN1
$ sqlplus ‘/ as sysdba’
SQL> alter user dbsnmp account unlock;
SQL> alter user dbsnmp identified by oracle;

• Check TimeZone (echo $TZ) on the node to start the db console.

If it is not set to PS8PDT, set it that way: $ export TZ=PST8PDT
– Time zone must be valid and included in $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/*tz*.lst for
dbcontrol to start

• Startup methods – use one of the following (one node only):

– DBCA (this would have been done whenyou created the database) method
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emca –config dbcontrol db –cluster

see the following:
