Incorrect permissions on device

If you do not have permission to manage raw devices on IBM AIX, the operating system issues this message when you attempt to start the Cluster Edition and the cluster does not start:

dopen: open '/dev/device_name', Not owner

• Grant the correct permissions (one of: PV_ROOT, PV_SU_, or PV_KER_RAS):

  setsecattr -p iprivs=+PV_KER_RAS $$
  

  These permissions are inherited by the Cluster Edition process when it starts.

• Grant a non-networked (NIS) user permission to run processes that manage devices:

  1. Create the user:

     mkuser sybase
     

  2. Create the role:

     mkrole authorizations=aix.device.manage.change role_disk_access
     

  3. Assign the role to a user:

     chuser roles=role_disk_access default_roles=role_disk_access sybase
