I saw inside manual that the "beoper" group is necessary for backup operations Symantec support said to use root as user to configure on media server. I was not satisfied about this anwer.
Indeed the beremote agent runs as root, as it is started form the init script /etc/rc.d/init.d/VRTSralus.init root 3874 1 0 Nov24 ? 00:00:00 /opt/VRTSralus/bin/beremote So in my I ran these: # groupadd bckadm # useradd -g bckadm -m bckadm # usermod -G beoper,dba bckadm (dba group ownership is for Oracle agent, as I use this user for setup of backup of Oracle RDBMS too) When I configured the media server and specified the user to connect as for backup/restore operations I put bckadm and not root itself. And to have this setup work, I had to get this user (different from root) to be in beoper group as an additional one, but not as its primary group. I think that BE agent makes some sort of grep ^beoper /etc/group and then a grep of the user specified in this group itself (and root matches; but if the beoper group is the primary one for your special user, it doesn't match) If instead you are using root, I'm not in your situation...
