Don't know what version of Oracle you've got but prior to 10.x you ahev to 
use double quotes as  in:

$ SQLPLUS "/ as sysdba"

On a VMS 6.2 you probably don't have 10.x of Oracle.

If you don't know what user has the SYSDBA right, check the owner of the 
Oracle files (executables or database files) with DIR/SEC or the user 
running the instances (SH SYS/FU/PROC=*PMON)
