Creating the OSDBA for ASM Group

You must designate a group as the OSDBA for ASM (asmdba) group during installation. Members of this group are granted access privileges to Oracle Automatic Storage Management.

Create an OSDBA for ASM group using the group name asmdba unless a group with that name already exists:
  1. Enter the following command:
    # smit security
  2. Choose the appropriate menu items to create the asmadmin group.
  3. Press F10 to exit.
