Hi Adam,
you last sentence light me! snapshot...that's the word.
As I told you before I've removed the target environment and recrated using landshark_setup.py. My mistake was to provision using the original snapshot taken times ago, before the user password expiration change.
So I've taken another snapshot and I was able on untouched and fresh linuxtarget2. It worked.
BUT...I'm not able to do the same on linuxtarget1.
I've performed on it the same sequence but I've got this:
rm -f $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile${ORACLE_SID}.ora
DELPHIX>$DLPX_SHELL $DB_SCRIPT_DIR/mount-vdb-instance.sh "restrict pfile='/mn
ORA-45301: XE Edition single instance violation error
ERROR : SQL> Disconnected
#####DELPHIX_END_ERROR#####
MOUNT_DATABASE_ERROR
It seems that there's the instance loaded but some way not working... Anyway, I've restarted from scratch importing the OVA. It's a pity for I've had a lot of things to show to customer in some demo.
