Different UID, GID and missing groups on oracle user in node1 and node2

634488Dec 2 2008 — edited Dec 2 2008
While running the runcluvfy utility User equivalence fails for me. Below is the output. Culvfy failed cos User equivalence check failed for user "oracle".
Is it cos there cud be a mismatch between UID and GID from nodes node2,3 against node 1
There was a uid mismatch with the first node with the remaining nodes.
Hence i chaged the uid using the command usermod -u UID username -U

Another dba messed up the pre-install task, hence i was assigned this work to finish it from where he left.
He has created some groups on node 2 and 4 that he has not created on node 1. When i provide id oracle on each node respectively this is the output i get.

RAC Node 1
[oracle@cch_or_db1 ~]$ id oracle
uid=505(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),502(dba)

RAC Node 2
[oracle@cch_or_db2 ~]$ id oracle
uid=505(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),502(dba),503(oper),504(asm)

RAC Node 3
[oracle@cch_or_db3 ~]$ id oracle
uid=505(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),502(dba),503(oper),504(asm)



[oracle@cch_or_db1 clusterware]$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n linux1,linux2,linux3 -verbose
