Setting Administrative Permissions

To allow database administrators to administer a database using SF Oracle RAC, you

must change permission settings. During SG Extension for RAC installation, you are

asked if you want to allow database administrators access. If you did not change

permissions installation, you can do so at a later time.

The default settings at installation time for the /opt/VRTSdbed directory allow only the

root login to access the directory.

To enable access for users other than root

1. To enable the user “oracle” access to the /opt/VRTSdbed directory, use the chown

and chmod commands, as follows:

# chown oracle /opt/VRTSdbed

# chmod 500 /opt/VRTSdbed

2. To allow users in the group “dba” access to the /opt/VRTSdbed directory, use the

chgrp and chmod commands, as follows:

# chgrp dba /opt/VRTSdbed

# chmod 550 /opt/VRTSdbed
