Valerie: What is the audit parameter in the init.ora file set to? Is it set to database (db) or os files? What are the other audit parameters in the init.ora file set to?
RWB Webber Valerie H <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@fatcity.com on 01/02/2003 01:45:17 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: I have a 8.1.7 repository database for Designer 9i (client) running on SUN Solaris 8. I can start the database up but when I access the data via Designer it crashes. I try to start it back up and I get the following message ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file SVR4 Error: 6: No such device or address Additional information: 9925 This happens even after I have removed all of the .aud files from $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit. Can anyone give me some clues as to what the problem might be? How do you determine whether it's a hardware problem or a database problem. I have checked everything I know to check as far as the database is concerned. Nothing major has changed on this system since or before this started. I think its a hardware problem (controller/buffer cache/data block ?) because after my database crashes the UNIX system doesn't work properly. For example, sometimes I can't even do a ps -ef or cat/more a file. The SA can't reboot the system without flipping the switch but still thinks its a database problem. Once the SA flips the switch (fsck runs fine) then I can start the database. The UNIX system has hung on one occasion with the database shutdown. It also happened once in the middle of a cold backup of the database. Thanks in advance! Val Valerie H.
