ExaCC: PDB Creation Fails with DBAAS-60074

In this blog post, I am going to describe a strange error when I was creating the new PDB in the existing CDB on ExaCC using dbaascli.

Error:

After around 20 minutes PDB creation failed with the below error.

This is the error message: “[FATAL] [DBAAS-60074] Unable to run the secure command as user ‘oracle’.“

Troubleshoot the Issue:

1. First I tried to create PDB using the OCI console instead of the command line but I got the same error message.

2. I tried to search on MOS but could not find the same issue or error message.

Analysis:

I checked the logfile shown in the above output “/var/opt/oracle/log/CDBTEST/pdb/create/dbaastools_2024-07-16_02-24-56-PM_246703.log”

and I found one clue in the logs highlighted below.

“Exception occurred while reading wallet at /var/opt/oracle/dbaas_acfs/CDBTEST/db_wallet“

Seems like some issue with reading wallet files.

Cause of Error:

When I checked the wallet file location, I saw wallet files have 755 permissions which is higher and it’s not secure for wallet files.

Solution:

The solution is very easy, just change the permission on wallet files to 600

After changing the permission on wallet files, I can successfully create the new PDB inside CDB using dbaascli.
