Resolution
Check the following conditions and correct them as appropriate:
If the vardir was tarred up from elsewhere, and if the paramdb was removed or is non-existent, then a blank paramdb can be recreated with the help of another running Shareplex instance, its permissions set appropriately and then ora_setup re-run.
If the ownership/permission of the paramdb is not correct when compared with other paramdb files from other Shareplex instances, then it can be corrected and ora_setup re-run.
If the environment variable SP_SYS_VARDIR is not set in the session running ora_setup, then this error will also show up. The environment can be set appropriately and the ora_setup re-run to get past the error.
