Dear all,

DB server is 10.2.0.4 SE.

My destination server, is Oracle Linux 5.8,

here's the df settings:

[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$ df -hT

               nfs    3.0T  1.2T  1.9T  38% /orabackup

NFS folder permission

[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$ ls -ld /orabackup/ribackup
drwxr-xr-x 2 102 105 4096 Aug 21 07:00 /orabackup/ribackup

My original server, is SLES 10 SP4,
my original server folder,


yury@svri01:/home/yury $ ls -ld /orabackup/ribackup/
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oinstall 4096 2017-08-21 07:00 /orabackup/ribackup/
yury@svri01:/home/yury $ id oracle
uid=102(oracle) gid=105(oinstall) groups=106(dba),16(dialout),6(disk),49(ftp),105(oinstall),65(sshd),100(users)

when I try to copy archivelog backup to a folder in destination folder, it fails,

export CP="/bin/cp"
export NOHUP="/usr/bin/nohup"
cd /home/oracle/dba/scripts/copy_backup/

"${NOHUP}" "${CP}" /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1 /u03/app/oracle/formatted_backup/ &

/bin/cp: cannot open `/orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1' for reading: Permission denied

I realize that I might need to change the uid and gid on the destination folder, but from https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_adf.ctrl-state=g11m0fps6_135&id=1474891.1

It is not supported to change the UID/GID of Oracle Database Software owner after installation.

Is there anyway that I could configure the destination folder such that oracle interprets uid 102 as oracle and gid 105 as oinstall.

Thanks

Regards, Chun Hung

Root cause & solution have NOTHING to do with Oracle.
Oracle is the victim; not the culprit.
Problem & fix lies strictly at OS level.
OS user does not have necessary OS permissions to complete requested operation

What is result from OS commands below?

ls -ld /orabackup/
ls -l /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1

Dear Black Swan,

From the original server:


drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 4096 2017-08-09 17:38 /orabackup/
yury@svri01:/home/yury $
yury@svri01:/home/yury $ ls -l /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 5591570432 2017-08-20 12:05 /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1
yury@svri01:/home/yury $



[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$ ls -ld /orabackup/
drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 4096 Aug  9 17:38 /orabackup/
[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$ ls -l /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 102 105 5591570432 Aug 20 12:05 /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1
[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$


Destination server:

[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$ ls -ld /orabackup/
drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 4096 Aug  9 17:38 /orabackup/
[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$ ls -l /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 102 105 5591570432 Aug 20 12:05 /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1
[oracle@svritest-vm ~]$


It is quite obvious that we don't have permission to read as gid 105 is recognized os 105 and not oinstall at destination folder, which means it will be others in destination server and other mean no permission at all since

-rw-r----- 1 102 105 5591570432 Aug 20 12:05 /orabackup/ribackup/arch_f2sccg7h_1_1

Thanks

It is the UID/GID that matters, not the username/groupname. Unless you correct them, your only way out will be to set permissions to 777.

Dear John,

Can you explain why 777 and not 755? Isn't setting to 777 over excessive, since I'm view as others in the new server and a read will do right? Do I need a write from the destination folder?

Thanks.

777 should be good for testing. Otherwise, try 755 for directories and 644 for files:

find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

Dear all,

thanks for your solution.
John is correct it is the UID and GID that matters
