New primary database "GENSAN" is opening...
Operation requires shutdown of instance "MANILA" on database "MANILA"
Shutting down instance "MANILA"...
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
Please complete the following steps to finish switchover:
shut down instance "MANILA" of database "MANILA"
start up instance "MANILA" of database "MANILA"
DGMGRL> exit
Resolution:
Do NOT use OS Authentication to connect to DGMGRL (connect /). You should use database authentication, sys/<pwd>[@<connect string>].
E.g.
Connect to Primary Database.
DGMGRL> connect sys/password@MANILA
DGMGRL> connect sys/password@MANILA
Connected.
