QUESTION: 'iostat -n' can be run successfully by any user in 2.6 but this fails in 2.8 with the message: "iostat: stat of /dev/osa/dev/dsk failed : Permission denied" I am guessing that iostat -n must use the path /dev/osa/dev/dsk to translate devices names from sd* to c*t*d*. The permissions of /dev/osa differ between Solaris 2.6 and 2.8 in our environment. /dev/osa, /dev/osa/dev and /dev/osa/dev/dsk lack o+x in 2.8. Is this normal? Will adding execute other to /dev/osa, /dev/osa/dev and /dev/osa/dev/dsk in Solaris 2.8 cause problems? ANSWER: "This is a known issue. The SUNWosar postinstall script performs a chmod on /dev/osa to 774. Just change permissions to 775 and that will fix the problem." - Arlina, Sun Microsystems, Solaris UFS File System/Format section of http://supportforum.sun.com By the way, patch 106655-04 or higher will make iostat -n work on Solaris 2.6. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Dec 18 11:02:41 2002
