PeopleSoft VM template installation problem

Question

Hello All,
I downloaded 2 people soft Oracle VM Templates.
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_HCMDB_9_1_1_PVM
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_TOOLS_8_51_02_HCM_9_1_1_PVM
I first created VM1 from OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_HCMDB_9_1_1_PVM and during db creation steps, gave
HR91 as SID, 1521 port.
Then I created VM2 from OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_TOOLS_8_51_02_HCM_9_1_1_PVM.
When I try to run
./psadmin and try to create the domain
I always get this error
Dabase Signon: Invalid user ID aor password for database signon. (id=system)
Now From second VM2, I can connect to DB on VM1 machine as using sqlplus
system/admin123
but can't connect as using sqlplus
sys/admin123 as sysdba
sysadm/sysadm as sysdba
While creating domain,
1. what database userid/password should I use
2. what is significance of AddToPath parameter

Hello Nicolas,
Thanks for the reply, Let me try to answer all your questions.

I'm wondering why you want to create the appl domain, the VM deployment should create one by default.

I didn't see any domains created as part of VM creation. When I run psadmin and say "Administer a domain", I see empty domain list.

Moreover, system is not being used, and should not be used for Peoplesoft application. Use SYSADM instead, it is the owner of the entire Peoplesoft objects set. The SYSADM's password is SYSADM (in upper case). SYSADM is not being used to be sysdba against the database.

As you said I used sysadm/SYSADM to create domain, verified from sqlplus that sysadm/SYSADM user can connect to the db, but now the error is
"Database Signon: Invalid user ID or password for database signon. (id=sysadm)."

On the domain configuration, you should give a application user - not a database one - and for HCM, it should be PS.

Are you trying to say, while creation of domain, db/db-user doesn't come in picture.
well, while looking for a log file, I came across this file
/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.51/appserv/APPDOM/LOGS/APPSRV_0102.LOG with contents,
so seems like there was a domain called APPDOM which installation probably tried to create, but failed due to some reasons.

Just tried logging in to db using PS/PS user and got this error
user PS lacks CREATE SESSION privilege; logon denied
Can anyone help here.
