RE: 7.3.4 svrmgrl requiring password if called by root user

I would say that at the point you run svrmgrl then a further script should be called which includes your Oracle environment variables and is called in such fashion

As root user in original script
commands
commands etc....

Then at the point you need to use svrmgrl su oracle -c /oracle/backup.sh

backup.sh should include environment variables and the backup commands however you are doing it.

Hope this helps.

Are you using password files?
1) Check if some orapwSID file exists.

    if exists, then, internal user will always be required to authenticate in order to login. (except that

    'dba' group is granted at os level.
2) Check $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.s file for some string like:
/* 0x0008 15 */ .ascii "dba\0"

The 'dba' string indicates that group DBA must be asigned to the user that will be used to connect as internal.
If other string is used, then, you must use that os group as DBA role, and you must grant that
group at os level.

Hope it helps
