Hi, Here is a suggestion -- ------------------
Apparently DBAs access to /opt/VRTSdbed was at installation time. See the snippet from the Installation Guide below. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Setting Administrative Permissions The VxDBA utility and GUI for database administration require permission changes to allow for database administrators to access these tools. The default settings at installation time for the /opt/VRTSdbed directory allow only the root login to access the directory. You are asked during the installation process if you want to allow database administrators access to the VxDBA utility. If you did not make the permission changes to allow database administrator access to the /opt/VRTSdbed directory during installation, you can do so at a later time. ▼ To allow the user “oracle” access to the VxDBA utility and the GUI Use the chown and chmod commands, as follows: # chown oracle /opt/VRTSdbed # chmod 500 /opt/VRTSdbed ▼ To allow users in the group “dba” access to the VxDBA utility and the GUI Use the chgrp and chmod commands, as follows: # chgrp dba /opt/VRTSdbed # chmod 550 /opt/VRTSdbed ------------------ Regards, Scott -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 4:37 AM To: veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-vx] SFORA + checkpoints 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 ?
