Sudo privilege requirements for unstructured files on Unix

This topic describes sudo file privilege configurations necessary for interacting with the Delphix Engine when virtualizing unstructured files on Unix Environments.

Sudo privilege rationale

Privilege

Sources

Targets

Rationale

mkdir/rmdir

Not Required

Optional

Delphix dynamically makes and removes directories under the provisioning directory during vFiles operations. This privilege is optional, provided the provisioning directory permissions allow the delphix_os user to make and remove directories.

mount/umount

Not Required

Required

Delphix dynamically mounts and unmounts directories under the provisioning directory during vFiles operations. This privilege is required because mount and umount are typically reserved for a super-user.

nfso (AIX only)

Not Required

Required

Delphix monitors NFS read and write sizes on an AIX target host. It uses the nfso command to query the sizes in order to optimize NFS performance for vFiles running on the target host. Only a super-user can issue the nfso command.
