Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
# /bin/isainfo -kv
and it gave me
# 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
instead of
# 32-bit i386 kernel modules
as the guide expected.
please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
thnx

First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
Example ls command
$ which ls
/usr/sbin/ls
$ file /usr/sbin/ls
It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .

Help with Oracle 10G on Solaris 9

This is a question that belongs to Oracle forum since I am only a Unix Administrator but work closely with some DBA's. I am installing Oracle Companion CD 10G on Solaris 9. The Oracle 10G software, I was able to install successfully in the past. The DBA's asked me to also install the companion CD for some added features.
Currently, the system is running Oracle 9i on Solaris 9. I installed Oracle 10G on this test environment. I have ensured to change the .profile entries in Oracle 9i and use the Oracle 10G profile so they dont overwrite one another. I have also made sure not to overwrite any files such as "oraenv" etc during the install. The install of Oracle 10G was successful. The dba's that I am trying to help out asked me if I could also install Oracle 10G companion CD 64 bit version.
I tried to install it by placing the path to Oracle 10G
But when the prerequisites started, I got the following:
"Oracle OHS Standalone can not be installed into an existing Oracle RDBMS 9.2.0.1.0 or higher Oracle home."
Now I know that at that time, I had all the Oracle instances down on 9i so it wont interfere with 10G but why is it still seeing 9.2.??? What can I do to bypass this message so I can install the Companion CD? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The issue is now resolved. I was selecting a different product for the install.
Thank you.

Some help with the 10g install, please.

Hi,
We want to install 10g, we are currently running 9i. We want to do this in silent mode since we have so many databases to move to 10g. We've got a few questions & concerns about the procedures that are supposed to be done.
If someone could kindly read over some of our concerns, we'd appreciate it.
First, we used the -record method to create a response file. How much do we have to manually edit that file once Oracle creates it for us? Or is it ready to go after we exit the OUI.
When we tried to do the install, it said it successfully installed 10g, but it failed on some of the configuration assistants. Do we need to run all of the configuration assistants? I mean, TNS is already configured. Does it change for the 10g install?
Additionally, once the 10g software is complete, the environment is still set to 9i. How does that get changed for the silent install to continue with the DBUA? I mean, we do have databases that need upgrading.
Any help with steps would be very helpful to us. We're getting error messages like this:
The installation of Oracle Database 10g was successful, but some
optional configuration assistants failed, were cancelled or skipped.
Please check
'/ora2/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2006-10-26_01-26-39PM.log'
for more details.

Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

There are two options:
1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
available at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.

Help with Oracle 10g--SYSDBA password

Hi,
I installed oracle 10g on my machine ( WIN XP Pro, 512 RAM ) . Installation was Ok and then I created a database which was created successfully.
But now I am trying to SQL PLUS to logon to database to run some scripts . I ma trying to login as SYS but it says I can only login in as SYSDBA or SYSOPR .
Problem is that while creating database it never asked for SYSDBA or SYSOPR passwords and I am just thinking may be there is a default password for these?
Please let me know how can I connect to database to run some scripts?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Khushhal Mahajan, Oracle Corporation has upgraded the database creation procedure from version 9i, that if database is created that prompts for a password. At that time we cannot use the default password & more over SYSDBA & SYSOPR are not user logins they are psudeo roles. So you must remember the admin password which will be prompted at the end of the installation. Try the following
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Before this set the environment variable to your database instance.
If you are connected alter the sys and system user and change the password.

Help with Oracle 10g Client Connectivity from Linux to IBM SAN storage

Hello Oracle Experts,
This is my first post. My client is having oracle 10g database up and running in IBM SAN storage.
We have some NMS tools running in Red Hat Linux version 5. So, these tools require connectivity to Oracle database which is residing in SAN storage connected with the Fibre cables.
How do I establish the connectivity from Linux to SAN storage. If would be glad if you can explain me the steps and also if there is any pre-installation/post-installation, patches and procedures involved.
If it is IP based network we normally give the IP address of the host running the database server. I have no idea about SAN storage connected with Fibre cable.
Please guide me to establish the connectivity from linux 5 to SAN.
Thanks.
Regards,
RaviShankar.

Hi Rajesh,
Actually I will not be touching the Oracle instance SAN box directly. I will only access the database from another machine. I my case it is Linux box.
So, my question is how do you make the Oracle Client in Linux box to connect to Oracle instance running in another non ip based machine SAN storage.Install Oracle client on this Linux machine ..
Make sure you have network connectivity from linux machine to database server. You need to connect to server where db instance is running and you need not to bother about SAN storage.
make tns entry into client $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
Use sqlplus to connect to database using client.

GNU gcc and Oracle 10g/11g on Solaris x86-64- examples?

We are looking at developing an Oracle database app on the above platform. We have the Solaris Studio 12.2, but one of the programmers has a visual impairment which makes using the GUI difficult.
I "think" one might be able to use the GNU gcc series compilers ( which she is familiar with) to develop an app that runs on Solaris, and accesses the database on the same server using the Oracle libraries, but I am unclear on the details. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the information needed, or sample code for using the gcc compilers for database access????

I believe you can use gcc for developing Oracle database programs on Solaris. But the best place to ask about database development is in an Oracle database forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/main.jspa?categoryID=84
and look under the Database entry.

Need Help with Oracle Designer Install!

When I attempt to install Oracle designer, it asks me to choose an Oracle Home. I choose "OraHome81" from the drop down menu, but it gives me the following error:
"The location specified: C:\Oracle\Ora81 is already used as an Oracle Home for 'Oracle 815 Production'
It can not be used as an Oracle Home for 'nt' "
PLEASE HELP!!!
my email address is [email protected]

As you would have seen if reading the documentation, this is probably a DB home, in which you cannot/should not install Designer. Type another name in there....

Help with Oracle 10g and ODBC

Hello,
I dont use ODBC much. Been awhile since I have had to use it.
I have Oracle 10.2.0.3 installed on a win2k workstation and installed 10203 patch, which consisted of copying over 3 dll's and some notes. Oddly enough, the notes wanted to go to an ODBC folder, which did not exist.
I go to admin tools/odbc and no new oracle odbc option under system dns.
Whats the trick here? What do I need to do to an existing 10.2.0.3 install to get the new odbc options available in the odbc data source admin?
I think I am missing a simple step. Unfortunately there is nothing I can find in searching here.

I am assuming that when you say "I have Oracle 10.2.0.3 installed on a win2k workstation", you are referring to having the 10.2.0.3 Oracle client on your machine, right? Did you install the Oracle ODBC driver when you first installed the 10.2 Oracle client (under the Oracle Windows Interfaces option when doing the install)?
When you go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Data Sources (ODBC) | Drivers, you should see an entry for the Oracle ODBC driver. You can use that driver to create new DSN's that would appear under the System DSN tab, but installing the driver won't create any new DSN's.

Which 10g release supports Solaris x86 version 10?

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle 10.1.0.3 for Solaris x86. When I installed it, I got error, saying I can only install this version on Solaris 9 x86. Do you have any idea which Oracle 10g version supports Solaris x86 version 10?
Thanks

Hi,
If we believe metalink, Oracle 10gR1 is already certified for Solaris x86
Solaris Operating System x86 Version 10
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 10g
Status: Certified
Certification Note:
Install Information:
o 1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
o 2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
o 3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
o 4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
o 5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.
Have you run installer like recommended in point 1 ?
For 10gR2, you need to wait december for certification.

Please help me, a problem when install oracle 10g on the solaris 10

currently, I am installing the oracle 10g on the solaris 10, I am using DHCP and
my computer has no hostname, the following is copied from the 10g document,
When you run Oracle Universal Installer, an error may occur if name resolution is not set up. To avoid this error, before you begin installation, you must ensure that host names are resolved only through the /etc/hosts file.
To ensure that host names are resolved only through the /etc/hosts file:
1.
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is used for name resolution. You can do this by checking the hosts file entry in the nsswitch.conf file as follows:
# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep hosts
The output of this command should contain an entry for files.
2.
Verify that the host name has been set by using the hostname command as follows:
# hostname
The output of this command should be similar to the following:
myhost.mycomputer.com
currently, when I use hostname command, it is unknown, what should I do to add
my hostname? thanks

Since this is related to Solaris, you will most likely get a better/faster response on a Sun Solaris forum rather than here.

Oracle says nothing to do with Oracle 10g,Check the OS.
Any help on creating a database in Solaris 10 x86 Oracle 10.1.0.3
Thanks in Advance.

check your /etc/system and init.ora
did you set up kernel parameters for oracle in /etc/system?
something like this:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=4096
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1000
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
the interesting parameter is
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100 - that is maximum amount of oracle processes system can have, if you have something like processes=150 in init.ora, database won't start.
read oracle installation manual on how to set these parameters for a particular machine and database
