Below is the Solaris user profiles for “grid” and “oracle” user. If you have followed Oracles official documentation for installation ORacle Rac 11gR2. It is best practice to install Oracle clusterware under grid user and oracle database with Oracle user. It takes a little time to get used to this setup specially for RAC users coming from 10g. But once you get a hang of it. It will work like a charm.
FYI the below user profiles have been set on Solaris 10\
