https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/ssdbi/creating-operating-system-privileges-groups.html#GUID-164A7218-166D-4B58-9A86-88149E8FCB83
For an Oracle Database installation on a Linux or UNIX operating system, the operating system group that is NOT required is the asmdba group.
Here’s a breakdown of the groups and their usual purposes in Oracle installations:
dba: Required for database administrators to manage the Oracle Database instance.
oper: Optional, often used to grant specific users limited access to database management tasks (e.g., shutting down and starting the database).
backupdba: Optional, used for backup and recovery operations.
dgdba: Optional, used for managing Data Guard.
kmdba: Optional, used for managing Oracle Key Vault.
asmdba: Required only if Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is used.
If you aren’t using ASM, you don’t need to create the asmdba group.
A: There is a quiz in the official "Oracle Database: Deploy, Patch and Upgrade Workshop, Student Guide D105893GC10 / D106067", p.109/292:
QUIZ
Which one of the following groups is not required for Oracle Database installation?
a. OSASM
b. OSOPER
c. OSDBA
---
Answer: a
The database software owner must also have the OSDBA group and (if you create them) the OSOPER, OSBACKUPDBA, OSDGDBA, OSRACDBA, and OSKMDBA groups as secondary groups.
A is correct.
Here is result from Oracle DB 19c Fresh install.
cat /etc/group | grep -i oracle
oinstall:x:54321:oracle
dba:x:54322:oracle
oper:x:54323:oracle
backupdba:x:54324:oracle
dgdba:x:54325:oracle
kmdba:x:54326:oracle
racdba:x:54330:oracle
A system privileges group whose members are granted administrative system privileges,
including OSDBA, OSASM, and other system privileges groups.
Oracle Database has two standard administration groups: OSDBA, which is required,
and OSOPER, which is optional.
OSOPER grants the OPERATOR privilege to start up and shut down the database
(the SYSOPER privilege). By default, members of the OSDBA group have all
privileges granted by the SYSOPER privilege.
Choose the best answer?lost on this question.
D (OSOPER) is the only optional.
note for oracle 19c grid installation A is a must. else your installation will not have access to the disk group. see below document https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/cwsol/creating-osasm-group.html#GUID-B13FBFB6-0714-4696-B52D-6DAEFF54AC38
A is correct --> "The database software owner must also have the OSDBA group and (if you create them) the OSOPER, OSBACKUPDBA, OSDGDBA, OSRACDBA, and OSKMDBA groups as secondary groups."
A is correct - Pay attention to the word OSASM - there is nothing by this name or word . Its either OSDBA for ASM which is asmdba or OSOPER for ASM - which is asmoper
I think A is correct because in fact we do not need to create OSOPER as well as OSRACDBA and OSKMDBA and all privileges assigns to OSDBA, right? The question is badly formed
