HP-UX Secure Resource Partitions (SRP) A.02.00 Administrator's Guide

8 Using the oracledb Template
This chapter describes how to use the oracledb template to add configuration data for hosting
an Oracle Database Server in an SRP compartment. At time this document was published, HP
had certified this template with the Oracle 10g Database Server.
You can also use the oracledb template to delete or modify the oracledb template data for
a compartment.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
• “Adding the oracledb Template to an SRP Compartment” (page 57)
• “Starting the SRP Compartment” (page 59)
• “Replacing or Deleting Oracle SRP Data” (page 59)
Adding the oracledb Template to an SRP Compartment
To use the oracledb template, you must create a base SRP compartment first, then add the
oracledb template to the compartment. For example:
srp -add myCmpt # create a base SRP compartment
srp -add myCmpt -template oracledb
Requirements for Running srp
You must have superuser capability to run the srp utility. In addition, most system configurations
require you to be in the INIT compartment so that srp can modify the system and subsystem
configuration files. For more information, see “Run Environment for the SRP Session” (page 29).
Syntax
The syntax for adding the oracledb template to an SRP compartment is as follows:
srp -a[dd] compartment_name -t[emplate] oracledb [-s[ervice]
service[,service]...]
Where:
compartment_name
Specifies the name of an existing SRP compartment.
service
Specifies the name of the service to configure. The following services
are valid with the oracledb template:
• cmpt
• ipfilter
If you do not specify any services in the command line, srp prompts
you for the services you want to apply and displays a list of the default
services that are valid with the oracledb template. If you are using
the factory-configured default services, the only valid default service
is cmpt.
The input data for these services and the data configured are described
in the sections that follow. If SRP uses input data for multiple services,
the srp utility prompts you for the data once and reuses the value.
The cmpt Service
The cmpt service for the oracledb template configures Security Containment file system rules
to allow the compartment to access the specified Oracle directories.
