Receive HP-UX Error: 13: Permission Denied

[pham]

Hi,

I am trying to create a new Oracle tablespace on my database. My Oracle database is installed and running on an HP-UX. For the tablespace creation, I want to place the new datafile on a Linux nfs mount point. Note: I am able to write to the directory ok as user Oracle. What I get when running the create tablespace command is as follows:

SVRMGR>create tablespace rman datafile '/panther-oracle/oracle/test.dbf' size 20m;

ORA-19504: failed to create file "/panther-oracle/oracle/test.dbf"
ORA-27086: skgfglk: unable to lock file - already in use
HP-UX Error: 13: Permission denied
Additional information: 8


Note: The physical test.dbf file actually gets created on the Linux mount point directory.

I have also bumped the 'nflocks' kernel parameter value from 200 to 800.

Has anyone seen this error message? Seems like it's complaining about some 'permission' issue.

Thanks,
STeve

You don't really want to do that !

Oracle does not support database datafiles over NFS - it cannot guarantee data integrity.
