All the PAIRxxxxxxx commands depend upon other executables (like raidscan, raidqry etc). If you can change the permission for all the files and try it should work, otherwise you should re-install the RM application with root login itself.

Hi,
Your error message not coming in the attachment.
the previous permission is ok. when you changed the permission i dont know it will work for other user.
I also used pairdisplay with different user.But same UID as root.That user will never get the shell.It will just do the operation only.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
write a script that will display the "paridisplay" output then make this script as his shell.

like this:
bcop:xxx:0:3:BC Operation User:/home/bcop:/tmp/its/bcmenu-new.sh

Hi,
If the user only want to see the pairdisplay output and if this frequent then put this in root cron, save output to one file. And a normal user create, he will be just read the file.For this purpose no need to create the user as same UID as root.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
at first check that the user cms can run the script or not.

cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/usr/bin/ksh
then run the script.the UID same as root so the script must be executed and output will come.
if ok then change the passwd.
cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/tmp/paird.sh

Thanks & Regards

The shell /tmp/paird must be owned by the cms user and be executable.

Since you agreed we are going on the wrongtrack the way to solve this is to download and install "sudo" and set up a regular user who is allowed to run pairdisplay as root.

Re: Pairdisplay: Execute permission denied.

TTr — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:45:58 GMT

sudo is part of the HP-UX Internet Express suite and it is on software.hp.com, search for sudo.

Re: Pairdisplay: Execute permission denied.

pairdisplay — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:56:47 GMT

Hi,

Is there any way to solve the problem without sudo application load into the server?

Thanks in advance...

Not really, unless you want to allow any user to run pairdisplay.

I do not recommend this but since pairdisplay is a script and you can not set a script to SUID-root, you have to look inside the pairdisplay script and find all the statements that run binary commands. Then you have to change all these binary commands to SUID-root. There may be a lot of binaries in the pairdisplay script and some of them may be from the LVM commands.

Again I do not recommend this.

Hi,
at first check that the user cms can run the script or not.

cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/sbin/sh
then run the script.
If its fullfill your output then change the /sbin/sh to /tmp/paired
make the script as menu base. like 1 for pairdisplay 2 for pairsync 3 for pairsplit 4 for exit.
