ORA-01031: insufficient privileges to sys@standby as sysdba


The ORA-01031 is very generic error and normally users will receive this error when users don’t have appropriate privilege.

$oerr ora 01031
01031, 00000, "insufficient privileges"
// *Cause: An attempt was made to change the current username or password
//         without the appropriate privilege. This error also occurs if
//         attempting to install a database without the necessary operating
//         system privileges.
//         When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur
//         if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label
//         than the current login.
// *Action: Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant
//          the required privileges.
//          For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the
//          the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database
//          administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.

But

Original problem in my case  was with listener file. Instance name is crated in small letter but in listener.ora sid given in CAPS it caused the problem. After changing sid in listner.ora it is working fine.
