Re: Clusterware installation / raw partition permissions

SuSE's 'orarun' package automatically creates all 255 raw disks... so I'll spare you the listing of all of them... here's the important info:

crw-rw----   1 oracle disk 162,   1 Apr 30 12:51 raw1
crw-rw----   1 oracle disk 162,   2 Apr 30 12:51 raw2
crw-rw----   1 oracle disk 162,   3 Apr 30 12:51 raw3
crw-rw----   1 oracle disk 162,   4 Apr 30 12:51 raw4

....

if I do an "id oracle" -- this is what I get...

uid=59(oracle) gid=54(oinstall) groups=54(oinstall),6(disk),55(dba)

I am performing the installation as the user 'oracle' so that should work.

SuSE defaults the /dev/raw device permissions to root:disk -- which should work because 'oracle' is a member of the 'disk' group. Received on Mon Apr 30 2007 - 15:34:40 CDT
