NFS Permission Issue

[Mousa55]

Hi,

i need to create shared filesystem between two HP-UX servers 11.31 with size of 2 TB.

my questions is

This shared directory should be accessible by oracle user (rwx) on server host and apps user (rwx) on client host.

How to give shared filesystem rwx permission ?

And i know when i share filesystem from server A to server B, there will be a matching process by uid and gid in /etc/passwd and /etc/group respectively. i can change the ownership on server A for oracle user, but on server B how to give apps user full access rwx to shared filesystem ?

Server A : uid=111(dsadm) gid=107(dstage)
Server B : uid=110(wasadmin) gid=106(wasgroup) groups=107(mqm)

Thanks

Shalom,

apps user is in the sys group. oracle user is in the adm group.

That is problematic.

Oracle guides generally recommend the database binary owner (oracle) and the application binary user (in this case apps) be in the same group.

I generally have a group called dba for both.

Then chmod g+rwx <directory name>

This should get you around the difficulty.

The way to solve this is to make it accessible by both on the host and then on the client.  Either with groups or by ACLs (which NFS may not support?).

Hi,

the user id and group id above it's just example. now this below correct id on both server.

Server A : uid=111(dsadm) gid=107(dstage)
Server B : uid=110(wasadmin) gid=106(wasgroup) groups=107(mqm)

I want to share file system from server A to server B with rw permission How i can do it that 11.31 ?

Then how to give the dsadm user on server A full access on the shared filesystem and to give wasadmin user on server B full access to shared filesystem ?

This only my two questions.

Thanks

Hi,

on server define oracle user as owner. And group dstage as group owner (check 'man chown' 'man chgrp').
Give owner and group rwx permissions (check 'man chmod').
Export shared filesystem as writeable for this group (check 'man exports'), read also what's /etc/exports for!
Mount it at the client as writeable (option rw) - check 'man mount' - read also 'man fstab' what`s /etc/fstab for.

With appsuser in the same group there should be no problem. If you get any error message, please post it here.

Are you admin?
Do you know what you're doing?

Sorry, don't want to offend you, but we still don't know what is your problem.
Most parts of this you should be able to do while you're sleeping ....

Oh yes - obviously NFS has to run:

nfs-server at server side, nfs-client at client side.

Is it running at your systems?

Hi,

i don't want to change any group on any server, if is there any way to make the shared file system as following

On Server A

# bdf
/dev/vg015/lvol15 2097152  952547 1073156   47% /mount1
# ll -d

drwxrwxrwx  17 dsadm        dstage           1024 Apr  6 10:55 /mount1

On Server B

# bdf

serverA:/dev/vg015/lvol15 2097152  952547 1073156   47% /mount2

# ll -d

drwxrwxrwx  17  wasadmin        wasgroup           1024 Apr  6 10:55 /mount2

Thanks for your support
