Setting permissions for database administration

After SF Oracle RAC is installed, the default settings allow only the superuser to access the /opt/VRTSdbed folder. If you want database administrators (DBAs) to access SF Oracle RAC components, you must set the required permissions. You can skip setting the database administration permission and advance to configuring the cluster volume manager.

See Configuring the cluster volume manager.

If the oracle user is set up on the system, perform the following steps to set permissions for database administration:

1. Review the required information to set up the permissions for database administration.
2. Specify whether you want to add single user access, group access, or both on each of the nodes as the installer prompts.
   • Provide information if you want to add single user access.

     Do you want to add single user access on galaxy [y,n,q,?]

     (y)

     Enter login account name for DBA user: oracle

   • Provide information if you want to add group access.

     Do you want to add group access on galaxy [y,n,q,?] (y)

     Enter group name for DBA users: dba

     Oracle User - Not Set up
     

If the oracle user is not set up on the system at this point, skip the above steps and provide the following information to add single user access:

Do you want to add single user access on galaxy [y,n,q,?]

(y)

The permissions can be set up later.
