Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Proper permission during Oracle9i install
Hi,
I posted it on the dba list earlier but have not got any answer back yet. When I try to install Oracle9i on an AIX 4.3.3 box in one of the very first steps the Universal Installer asks me for the Unix Group name which will have permission to update Oracle software in this system. previously I had a group named 'oinstall' for it. I could not pass this step with it. Then I changed tactic and selected the group 'system'. The 'oracle' user - who is doing the install - is now member of the groups 'system' and 'dba'. Primary group is 'system'. Here are the permission masks for logical volums and file systems potentionally touched by the install:
At the / level:
drwxr-sr-x 3 oracle system 512 Mar 22 16:49 u01
At the /dev level:
crw-rw---- 1 oracle system 41, 0 Mar 14 14:40 /dev/oraapps
brw-rw---- 1 oracle system 41, 1 Mar 22 16:49 /dev/oralvapp01
where '/dev/oraapps' is the a volumegroup and '/dev/oralvapp01' is a logical volume on which a filesystem was created and it is mounted at '/u01'. A df shows:
# df
Filesystem 512-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 16384 1976 88% 1279 32% /
/dev/hd2 2719744 12584 100% 47771 15% /usr
/dev/hd9var 16384 12520 24% 494 25% /var
/dev/hd3 819200 761696 8% 138 1% /tmp
/dev/hd1 16384 15720 5% 31 2% /home
/dev/cd0 0 0 -1% 0 -1% /cdrom
/dev/oralvapp01 4194304 4062512 4% 22 1% /u01
The error message said: "Unable to setup Inventory. You may not have proper permissions".
If at that moment I check what is in /u01 I can see:
# ls -lR /u01
total 16
drwxrwsr-x 3 oracle system 512 Mar 22 17:11 app drwxrwx--- 2 oracle system 512 Mar 22 16:49 lost+found
/u01/app/oracle:
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 3 oracle system 512 Mar 22 17:11 oraInventory
/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory:
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 2 oracle system 512 Mar 22 17:11 oraInventory
/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/oraInventory:
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle system 19 Mar 22 17:11 install.platform
/u01/lost+found:
total 0
What is wrong here ? The file system was created by sys:sys. That I changed recursivelly to oracle:system. I do not think that the installer has a problem with that otherwise it would not able to create the nested directories above. The /tmp filesystem has min 300MB free space.
Thanks ahead,
