Document Type | Troubleshooting

Applicable Product Version | 6FS07, 7FS02

Document Number | TBATS002

 

Issue

An error RMGR Error: Unable to create password file occurs when performing recover using the tbrmgr recover --for-standby option. 

 

Cause

This issue occurs because the .passwd file is created with permissions 420 instead of 644, causing rmgr to fail to open it with O_WRONLY (write-only) during recovery. 

 
 

Solutions

1. Apply the patch. (Applicable patches: FS06_CS_159762d, FS07_CS_159762e)

Caution
Apply the patch through technical support provided by Tmax Tibero.

 

2. Resolve the error by changing the _PASSWD_FILE_PERMISSION default value from 0644 to 644.

Note
As a workaround, you can attempt to resolve the error by renaming the file using mv passwd .passwd and then mv .passwd passwd.
