Permission issue with raw devices.

494282Mar 26 2008 — edited Jun 4 2008

Hello RAC gurus,

I created raw devices for OCR, Voting disk and ASM. When I specify a location for OCR configuration while installing Oracle clusterware, it's saying Oracle user doesn't have sufficient privileges on this device. I checked that location and found that it's owned by root user then I tried to change the owner of that by logging into as root user using "chown -R oracle:oracle /apps"(raw partitions are on /apps/oracle/oradata/).Now the owner got changed for apps, oracle, oradata but still ocr,votingdisk,ASM are owned by root user. After that I changed the owner of underlying partitions of this raw devices (eg. ocr was created on /dev/sdb1) and that got changed properly. But again I couldn't change the owner of raw devices,

chown -R oracle:oracle ocr (command got executed without any error) but couldn't change the owner of this.

If anyone does have any idea, could you please throw light on this?

Thanks,
P.
