Configure the Correct Oracle User Path

To use the administration utilities, the path for the Oracle user must include the directory that contains STA command, staresmonadm, staservadm, changeSTAPassword.sh, and changeSTAPorts.sh.

The Oracle user is a Linux user that installs Oracle products on the STA server and runs the STA application and utilities. See the STA Installation and Configuration Guide for details about the Oracle user and group.

  1. Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
  2. Display the PATH variable and verify that it includes the following directory:
    /<Oracle_storage_home>/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common/bin

    where <Oracle_storage_home> is the Oracle storage home location specified during STA installation.

    For example:

    $ echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/oracle/bin:/Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common/bin
  3. If the directory is missing, use a text editor to open the user profile and add it.

    For example:

    $ vi /home/oracle/.bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

    Save and exit the file.

  4. Log out and log back in as the Oracle user.
  5. Confirm that the PATH variable has been updated correctly.
    $ echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/oracle/bin:/Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common/bin
