Is anyone out there using Oracle 9i with ODM (we're on AIX, but I'm not sure this problem would be limited to AIX)... The issue we're having is that setting the remote_login_passwordfile to anything other than 'NONE' generates the following error when creating the DB: ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ksfd_odmopn2], [ODM ERROR V-41-4-19 No such device], [], [], [], [], [], [] Error 600 happened during db open, shutting down database USER: terminating instance due to error 600 I also see the following in the trace file: ksfdopn:fname=/u01/ARBPRDDB/app/oracle/product/9205/dbs/orapwIBMPRDDB0 blksiz=512 ftype=8 flags=0x0 ps=0x0 fno=0 ksfd_odmopn:fname=/u01/ARBPRDDB/app/oracle/product/9205/dbs/orapwIBMPRDDB0 blksiz=512 ftype=8 flags=0x0 ps=0xe43656a0 fno=0 ksfd_fibd:fib=0xe3d2abe0 flags=0x0 *** 2004-12-02 22:24:35.511 ksedmp: internal or fatal error ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ksfd_odmopn2], [ODM ERROR V-41-4-19 No such device], [], [], [], [], [], [] although at the beginning of the create statement the following succeeds: ksfdopn:fname=/u01/ARBPRDDB/app/oracle/product/9205/dbs/orapwIBMPRDDB0 blksiz=512 ftype=8 flags=0x0 ps=0x0 fno=0 ksfdopn: fob=0xe705d098 fib=0xe3d29b78 Anyone have any clue?
