Oracle Database Error ACFS-05942: User Mismatch on Standby ACFS Update
Description
This error indicates a failure to apply updates to a standby ASM Cluster File System (ACFS) mount point. It specifically points to a discrepancy in user accounts or permissions attempting the update versus the expected ownership or privileges required for the ACFS resource. This typically occurs in Oracle Data Guard or other high-availability configurations involving ACFS.
Error Message
unable to apply updates to standby mount point ' string ' due to user mismatch
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect OS User Privileges
The operating system user attempting to apply updates lacks the necessary read/write or ownership permissions for the ACFS mount point or underlying files.
User Mismatch Between Primary and Standby
The OS user or group configured to manage ACFS on the primary database differs from the user/group on the standby system, leading to permission conflicts during updates.
ACFS Resource Ownership Discrepancy
The ACFS resource (e.g., the mount point itself or its directory structure) is owned by a different user or group than the one expected by the update process.
Incorrect OS User Context
The command or script applying updates is executed under an incorrect operating system user context, which does not have the required permissions for the ACFS mount point.
