To allow database administrators to administer a database using Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle, 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/VRTSdbed
directory allow only the root
login to access the directory.
To allow the user "oracle" access to the /opt/VRTSdbed directory
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 /opt/VRTSdbed directory
Use the chgrp
and chmod
commands, as follows:
# chgrp dba /opt/VRTSdbed
# chmod 550 /opt/VRTSdbed
