To allow database administrators to administer a database using Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2, you are required to change some permission settings. You are asked during the installation process if you want to allow database administrators access to various functionality. If you did not make the permission changes during installation, you can do so at a later time.
The default settings at installation time for the /opt/VRTSdb2ed
directory allow only the root
login to access the directory.
To allow the user "db2inst1" access to the /opt/VRTSdb2ed directory
Use the chown
and chmod
commands as follows:
# chown db2inst1 /opt/VRTSdb2ed
# chmod 500 /opt/VRTSdb2ed
To allow users in the group "db2iadm1" access to the /opt/VRTSdb2ed directory
Use the chgrp
and chmod
commands as follows:
# chgrp db2iadm1 /opt/VRTSdb2ed
# chmod 550 /opt/VRTSdb2ed
