Database has no access permission to its raw devices
system was booted with boot -r, or drvconfig command from command shell
When the SPARC system is rebooted using the boot -r command from the boot PROM monitor or when using a drvconfig command as user root from a standard UNIX shell, then the system reconfigures all the attached SCSI devices. This includes the generation of new device drivers in the /devices and /dev directory.
During this process the owner and group of the block and character special device files are set to root. Also permissions are set to 600 (rw-------)
If you try to startup the database (Informix or Adabas) it may complain that it has no access privilege to the raw devices.
Solution: set the right permissions manually
When using for example Informix as database do the following:
as user root: cd /informix/SID/sapdata
chown -R informix *
chgrp -R informix *
chmod -R 660 *
