Creating the OSDGDBA Group for Database Installations

You must designate a group as the OSDGDBA group during installation. Members of this group are granted the SYSDG privileges to perform Data Guard operations.

Create the OSDGDBA group using the group name dgdba, unless a group with that name already exists:

  1. Enter the following command:
    # smit security
  2. Choose the appropriate menu items to create the dgdba group.
  3. Press F10 to exit.
