Reference Architecture: Consolidating Oracle Databases with Secure Resource Partitions in a Serviceguard Cluster Whitepaper

Task 2: Adding a new users group

1. Authorize this group of users to log in to the SRP:

# groupadd –g 200 mkt_dba

Task 3: Creating a base SRP

2. Create the SRP using the srp –a operation.

For Serviceguard integration, create the SRP home directory /var/hpsrp/MKTPRD on a

shared logical volume before creating the SRP. Locating the SRP private directory on an

SLVM enables it to be available on any node running the package. See Appendix C:

Creating shared logical volumes for commands used to create the SLVMs for this

deployment.

For Serviceguard integration, the SRP login group must exist on all nodes of the cluster and

have the same gid. If the systems are not configured to use a central user/group repository

such as LDAP or NIS, then you must create the group on all cluster nodes the package may

run on. Use the Serviceguard cmexec command to execute the same groupadd command

on the remote nodes of the cluster:

# cmexec atcuxvm8 "groupadd -g 200 mkt_dba"
