Hello, we are evaluating SFORA (enterprise edition for Solaris 10) and faced the following problem. While trying to create storage checkpoints the manual of dbed_ckptcreate says: [...] NOTES dbed_ckptcreate must be run as the Oracle DBA user. The superuser cannot create Storage Checkpoints, since there is no guarantee that the database status can be correctly iden- tified. [...] However, access rights for directory where dbed_ckptcreate resides is as below: bash-3.00# ls -al /opt/VRTSdbed total 22 drwx------ 8 bin bin 512 Mar 12 08:29 . drwxrwxr-x 54 root root 1536 May 30 12:15 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 1536 Mar 12 14:06 .dba drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 1024 Mar 12 14:06 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 512 Mar 12 14:06 lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 12 08:29 man -> /opt/VRTS/man drwxr-xr-x 3 bin bin 512 Mar 12 08:29 msg drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 512 Mar 12 08:29 stats drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Mar 7 15:42 usr
So no rights for DBA to run the dbed_ckptcreate. I know that I can use ACLs but I don't think it is right solution here. Can anybody tell me how to allow DBA to run dbed_ckptcreate ? And why the /opt/VRTSdbed is so restricted ? Regards przemol -- http://przemol.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tanie rozmowy!
