I copied one oracle home to some other server/mount and did the clone of binaries.
After completion when I was trying to log in to SQL as sysdba to create database here. There I found following message.
$sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Fri Feb 7 05:12:22 2014
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Enter user-name:
Looking like some permission issue. Checked the user and OS permission of files, which were looking OK.
SQLNET.ORA too looked ok, then found following.
Reason:- Running clone on binaries has overwritten $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.c, and it was missing group values.
#define SS_DBA_GRP ""
#define SS_OPER_GRP ""
Solution:- Changed it to
#define SS_DBA_GRP "oinstall"
#define SS_OPER_GRP "oinstall"
Then run $ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink.
On completion,
$sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Fri Feb 7 07:02:55 2014

Worked well.
