Hi,
I'm trying to install oracle 11gR2 RAC on AIX unix, do I need to have multiple groups for oracle such as oinstall and dba? What if I have only one group called dba that belong to oracle user? what is the use of having a primary group oinstall?
Thanks

Typically,
all the instances and software installation in a server would be managed by one Oracle account.
In some shops, Oracle Installation and Oracle databases are maintained by separate teams.
In some shops, multiple groups manage/administer different instances. Say, ORACLE_SID=db1 could be maintained by oracledb1:dba and ORACLE_SID=db2 by oracledb2:dba users.
In that case, you need a separate oinstall group so that the oracle* users can be assigned oinstall indvidually and have
access to oraInventory.
Else there is no need.
