Configuring Fast Clone to Run Under an Administrative User on Solaris

If you cannot install and run Fast Clone under the Oracle UNIX account, you can create an administrative user in the DBA group. Then copy the Fast Clone files under the ownership of this user.

For other supported Linux and UNIX systems, the steps vary slightly.

On the Solaris system, log in as the root user.

Create an administrative user in the DBA group. For example:

as root useradd -g dba -s /usr/bin/tcsh -m -d /home/fastclone fastcln

Copy the Fast Clone files under ownership of the administrative "fastcln" user.

Add the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory and the Fast Clone directories to the /var/ld/ld.config configuration file for the dynamic linker. For example, use the following command:

crle -s /usr/lib:${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:'pwd'/support -l/usr/lib:${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:'pwd'/support

Alternatively, you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for invoking the Fast Clone Console or Fast Clone Server.

Change the effective user to the administrative user:

su -fastcln

Set full read and execution permissions on Fast Clone program files and shared object (.so) files in the Fast Clone installation path. Use the chmod command:

cd Fast_Clone_install_directory
chmod 755 FastReader
chmod 755 QZip
chmod 755 support/*so*

Set the group sticky bit on individual Fast Clone executables to enable them to run under the "dba" group instead of the group of the user that executes the program. Use the chmod command with g+s. For example:

chmod g+s FastReader
