Re: Oracle on raw devices in SLES9

Hi,

another solution is to set the device permissions in 
/etc/udev/udev.permissions (search for the line saying 
"raw/raw*:root:disk:660" and change it to "raw/raw*:<oracle-user>:<dba or 
oinstall>:660"). Using udev.permissions will make the changes persistent.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

Put user oracle to disk group (disk:x:6:oracle). This works well and used 
by package orarun.
