two user need write privilege on specific Directory -

Joy Stick · 11-25-2017, 01:26 PM

Dear Linux Experts,

I am Installing Oracle RAC Database in Vmware Workstation.

>> REQUIRED GROUPS

PHP Code:



# groupadd -g 501 oinstall 
# groupadd -g 502 dba 
# groupadd -g 503 asmadmin 
# groupadd -g 504 asmdba 
# groupadd -g 505 asmoper

>> REQUIRED USERS TO INSTALL RAC DATANASE ON OEL

PHP Code:



# useradd -u 550 -g oinstall -G asmadmin,asmdba,asmoper grid 
# useradd -u 551 -g oinstall -G dba,asmdba oracle

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 ~]# id grid 
uid=550(grid) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),503(asmadmin),504(asmdba),505(asmoper)

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 ~]# id oracle 
uid=551(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),502(dba),504(asmdba)

>> GRID_BASE

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 u01]# mkdir -p /u01/app/grid 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid/ 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/grid/

>>GRID_HOME

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 u01]# mkdir -p /u01/product/11.2.0/grid_home 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/product/11.2.0/grid_home/ 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chmod -R 775 /u01/product/11.2.0/grid_home/

>> ORACLE_BASE

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 u01mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/ 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/

>> ORACLE_HOME

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 u01]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home/

>> ORACLE INVENTORY

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 u01]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory/ 
[root@RAC1 u01]# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oraInventory/

PHP Code:



[root@RAC1 ~]# ls -lh /u01/app 
total 12K 
drwxrwxr-x 2 grid   oinstall 4.0K Nov 26 04:51 grid 
drwxrwxr-x 3 oracle oinstall 4.0K Nov 26 04:54 oracle 
drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle oinstall 4.0K Nov 26 04:56 oraInventory

Installing RAC with role separation, i.e
using grid user for GI Software and
oracle user for DB Software
both of them must have permission to write on oraInventory Directory.

I need 'oracle' user and 'grid' must have write privilege on oraInventory directory.

It appears that both 'oracle' and 'grid' users do have write privileges on the oraInventory directory because that directory is owned by the oinstall group id, both users are members of that group, and the group write bit is set for the directory.
I'm not sure I see a question here.

Hi,

But Oracle's ./runInstller always gives problem,
It is not accepting and throwing error.
OUI-10182: The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file

Aha! What does the Oracle documentation say to do when you get that error?
Doesn't the install set up everything as it needs to be?
From where did you get the users, groups, directories, ownership and permissions?
Have you done a web search? Try searching for "OUI-10182: The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file"

Hi,

I am using 11.2.0.1.0 DB Software and GRID Software.
Might be it has some bugs in lower versions.

Oracle Experts are suggesting, do not create oraInventory directory manually
Let Installer handle it ...

I have fixed that issue

>> Changes i made to resolve that error

[root@rac1 ~]# rm -rf /u01/app/oraInventory

PHP Code:



[root@rac1 ~]# chown -R grid:oinstall /u01
[root@rac1 ~]# chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
[root@rac1 ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01

... also observing that it was Oracle that complained here, not Linux ...

Excellent point! Wonder why the OP doesn't seek help on an Oracle board. Of those posts I've looked at and done cursory searches, the answers appear to be on Oracle oriented boards (to which I've pointed him a couple of times)
