5 Creating Required Operating System Groups and Users
The following local operating system groups and users are required if you are
installing Oracle Database:
■ The Oracle Inventory group (typically, oinstall )
■ The OSDBA group (typically, dba )
■ The Oracle software owner (typically, oracle )
■ The OSOPER group (optional. Typically, oper )
To determine whether these groups and users exist, and if necessary, to create them,
follow these steps:
1. To determine whether the oinstall group exists, enter the following command:
# more /etc/oraInst.loc
If the output of this command shows the oinstall group name, then the group
exists.
If the
oraInst.loc file exists, then the output from this command is similar to the
following:
inventory_loc=/u01/app/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall
The inst_group parameter shows the name of the Oracle Inventory group,
oinstall .
2. To determine whether the dba group exists, enter the following command:
# grep dba /etc/group
If the output from this commands shows the dba group name, then the group
exists.
3. If necessary, enter the following commands to create the oinstall and dba groups:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
