[Oracle 8.0.5/HP-UX 11.00] master_peer: Execute permission denied

[Steven Sim Kok Leong]

Hi,

Both
- $ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/master_peer
- $ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/encap_peer
are required by start_peer to launch the snmp daemon.

However, both master_peer and encap_peer are binaries which are not executable in HP-UX 11.00 even when the executable permissions are on and I am executing both of these binaries as root.

I checked through deja.com and apparently there is another who faced the same problem but no solution was posted.

Any solutions? TIA.

Regards.

Steven Sim.

Please check that the file owner is oracle and group to be dba with rwx permissions

Hi,

The owner of the executables is: oracle:dba
The permission of the executables is: 755

Regards.

I had a similar problem with Netscape fasttrack server binaries.

In this case the problem was due to incompatible PA-RISC version of the compiled code and the system (hardware). A real error message, "Executable file incompatible with hardware.", was only displayed when attempting to from ksh. sh just said "Execute permission denied."

Note: HP ship different versions of the PA-RISC cpu (processor) as follows
v1.0, 1.1, 1.1x, 2.0
where 1.1x is 1.1e, 1.1a, ...
Check your processor's PA-RISC version using
model
For HP-UX 10.20, grep the model in /usr/lib/sched.models
For HP-UX 11.00, grep the model in
/opt/langtools/lib/sched.models

1. True running the executable from ksh to get better diagnostics
2. Check the required version in the executable using
file /exe_pathname
where filename is the executable pathname

If necessary, re-compile the Oracle system libraries as described in the documentation.
See the cc(1) man page and option +DAarch and getconf(1m) man page's "getconf CPU_VERSION".

Alternatively, obtain *new* versions of the executables from Oracle.
Use the following command to determine the scope of the problem

find $ORACLE_HOME -type f -exec file {} ; | egrep PA-RISC1.1
