Setting up user equivalence

You must establish user equivalence on all nodes to allow the Oracle Universal Installer to securely copy files and run programs on the nodes in the cluster without requiring password prompts.

For more information, see the Oracle documentation.

The sample procedure provides instructions for establishing user equivalence for RSH and RCP.

To set up Oracle user equivalence for RSH and RCP

  1. Open another terminal session as the Oracle user.

  2. As the Oracle user on each system, edit the ~/.rhosts file and add entries similar to the following:

    galaxy oracle
    nebula oracle

  3. On each system, log in as the Oracle user and set the password.

  4. Verify RSH access:

    $ rsh galaxy date
    Mon Apr 24 10:02:45 PDT 2006
    $ rsh nebula date
    Mon Apr 24 10:02:45 PDT 2006
