One possible workaround could be to use sudo to grant the oracle user the right to execute ufsdump as root - although that could pose a security hole in your environment.
what are the result of ls -al /dev/rdsk/c5t600015D000052A000000000000001336d0s0 ?

As Oracle I am getting errors running the following commands that I do not get as root. The system admin. doesn't know why and I am switching to using TAR's but I don't know if there is any advantage, disadvantage to using TAR's.
Any help would be appreciated:
Here is the command:
ufsdump -0lf /u005/dfsop03oradat.u001.test /u001/oradat/test
This is the error:
Please correct this problem and rerun the program. DUMP: Cannot open dump device `/dev/rdsk/c5t600015D000052A000000000000001336d0s0': Permission denied Unable to create temporary directory in any of the directories listed below: /tmp/ /var/tmp/ / Please correct this problem and rerun the program.
