We are not seeing a sqlnet.log file. I tried some carefully controlled
tests, and found that only the dbca log and 3 audit files are modified when
we hit this error. The audit files are somewhat interesting, in a
mysterious, enigma sort of a way. The dbca log is quite useless, even with
tracing turned on.
This is the weird part. The audit files show that a total of 6 connections
to ASM were attempted, 2 for each audit file, one for each of SYS and '/'.
The SYS connection had a status of 1017:
Thu Jul 26 09:22:09 2007
ACTION : 'CONNECT'
DATABASE USER: 'SYS'
PRIVILEGE : NONE
CLIENT USER: oracle
CLIENT TERMINAL: Not Available
STATUS: 1017
The '/' connection has a status of 0:
Thu Jul 26 09:22:09 2007
ACTION : 'CONNECT'
DATABASE USER: '/'
PRIVILEGE : SYSDBA
CLIENT USER: oracle
CLIENT TERMINAL: Not Available
STATUS: 0
I did several tests, and these three audit files seem to only show up when
we get this error. A strange coincedence, eh? Note the timestamps. I also
just noticed that the SYS connection is attempted with no privileges. I need
to research that a little better.
Here is the relevant part of the dbca log file, for the curious:
