Note – If you choose to install the Oracle binaries on a logical host, mount the
Oracle software distribution as a file system on its own separate disk, if
possible. This prevents Oracle from being overwritten if the operating system
is reinstalled.
2. On each HA server, create a /etc/group entry for the database
administrator group.
This group normally is named dba. Verify that root and oracle are
members of the dba group. For example:
dba:*:520:root,oracle
While you can make the name service entries in a network name service (for
example, NIS or NIS+) so that the information is available to Solstice
HA-DBMS for ORACLE7 clients, you also should make entries in the local
/etc files to eliminate dependency on the network name service.
Note – This duplicate information must be kept consistent when you make
changes.
3. On each HA server, create a /etc/passwd entry for the Oracle user ID
(oracle_id).
This entry is normally oracle for the user ID. For example:
# useradd -u 120 -g dba -d /oracle oracle
4. Verify that the ORACLE_HOME directory is owned by oracle_id and is
included in the dba group.
# chown oracle /oracle
# chgrp dba /oracle
