Installing Oracle 11g over Oracle 10g

My computer already has Oracle 10g. If I would like to install 11g on it. Do I need to uninstall oracle 10g before installing 11g?
Thanks

You don't have to uninstall 10g but remember to install 11g into different ORACLE_HOME than 10g installation.

Installing oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host

Is it possible to install Oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host and have the application switch between 10g and 11g? and how would the 10g and 11g be installed?

Thanks for your reply.
Typeically if 10g is installed in /home/roacle/product/10.2.0, are you saying that for 11g, it would be /home/oracle/product/11.0.0 ?
How about switching the application? Does changing the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variable setting enough ? Let's say from
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 to /home/oracle/product/11.0.0/client_1

My legacy 10g server running on older hardware and Win 2003 works, but is now uncompliant with IA requirements now. We are sandboxing this application. My new server will need to have 2008 on it.
Will Oracle supply me the software. I have paid maintenace on my account every year. Just paid it for this year in Ocober. Should not have an issue here.submit a Service Request & you'll get your question answered

Repeated ORA-12547 Messages after installing Oracle 10g

Hi,
I installed Oracle 10g on a Redhat ES 3 box, and the install went okay, but when I try and interact with the server I get the message:
ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact
For example, if I use the Database Configuration Assistant to attempt to create a database, I will see the above message when it begins the database creation process, or if I try to interact with the Oracle server using sqlplus I will see the above message after each command entered.
I had recently tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 on the same box, but abandoned that after deciding that the effort required to link Oracle 8 on RHES3 just wasn't worth it. I have been told that this previous partial installation may be the cause of the problem, and have been advised to uninstall Oracle 8, uninstall Oracle 10g, and reinstall Oracle 10g. I find it hard to believe that it would require such an action to solve this problem. Is there any configuration changes I can make to resolve it? Also, what does this message actually mean?
I am new to Oracle, so thanks for any help with this problem.
Colm.

My last message asking for a grater degree of specificity was not overly specific, hence I am posting the kernel parms that I have set with the hopes that you will spot one that I set improperly or one that I neglected to set.

Installing oracle 10g release 2 on spark solaris!! urgent help!

hi guys!
Am installing oracle 10g r2 on spark sun solaris. I did install the software without any pb, but when installing the database using dbca, I have this errors.
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpcreates
Edited my kernel parameters and in the /etc/system file, ai've added

set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Space aint an issue and dont know how to over come this error!
Should ai just install the db using scripts and run the neccessary .sql scripts instead of going through dbca?
junior DBA in distress.

This appears to be because of low semaphores setting. Did you reboot your server after making the /etc/system parameter changes ?

Installing Oracle 10g on Windows VISTA or Windows 7

Hey,
I am planning to purchase a laptop and i am concerned about installing Oracle 10g .
So which of the Following OS is compatible?
1) Windows VISTA
2) Windows 7
Many Thanks!!
Cheers
Ramkannan.A

I found this solution in http://msutic.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-instal-oracle-client-11g-on.html
It work for me. I´ve installed a Oracle 10.2.0.4 (vista e w2k8 x64) in a Windows 7 64 bits.
Thanks to Marko Sutic !
========================================================
To workaround this problem I've decided to edit refhost.xml file adding entry for Windows 7.
* in production there are 2 files refhost.xml. I´ve edited both.
Location of this file on my system:
.\stage\prereq\db\refhost.xml
.\stage\prereq\db_prereqs\db\refhost.xml
This is excerpt from newly edited refhost.xml file:
<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
New lines are added at the end of this excerpt after . Notice version value=6.1.
In addiction to Marko Sutic tip, I´ve edited too the file ./install/oraparam.ini adding the new value (6.1) to the message:
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
I´ve finished now the installation, and all sounds good.
good luck

Is it possible to install Oracle 10g database on a linux Os ?

Hello all,
I recently installed Fedora 14, and oracle 10g free edition, on my modest laptop.
Problem is , I can't upload any scripts, because as i recently learnt from my school teacher, Oracle only works smoothly with Internet explorer browser (i.e.).
I tried using programs like winetricks to download a linux version of i.e. but in this case Oracle doesn't even open its homepage.
-In a nutshell, does anyone know a possible way to work with oracle 10g , (or any alternative), that's fully functional on linux (fedora 14) ? Download, Install steps,etc.
All i need to do is upload simple SQL scripts, and practice my " select from...." commands.
-Is oracle linux a option ? and what is it?
Thank you already for any replies, I'm really getting tired of googling threw different forums.

Ed,
-i knew my teacher was being stubborn;
-I meant that the winetricks version of i.e., didn't open the homepage of oracle 10g (=log in screen).
-what i was trying to do was, after having installed oracle 10g , "go to data base homepage" (openend by firefox) , once logged in with my username, upload a script , and practice typing the different (select from ...group by..etc) sql commands.
Here is one of several concepts you need to fix in your mind. Databases don't have home pages. Client applications do. Databases store and manage data. Humans at the keyboard see the client application, not the database. Oracle provides some client apps ( iSQLPlus, Oracle Enterprise Manager (Grid Control), dbcontrol, APEX) and even installs some with the database by default, but they are distinctly separate from the database, and so must be identified when talking about user interface issues. Unfortunately, telling us you tried to open "the home page of oracle" tells us nothing at all. If you had said "Tried to log in with iSQLPlus" or "I tried to connect with Apex", it would have conveyed MUCH more information. We would have then had some frame of reference as to what you were seeing.
To the "upload from where" question : I simply copied the scripts ( .sql , file) from the pc's from school, on usb, then copied them on my own system. When using the "upload scripts" option from oracle, Again, you must distinguish between "oracle" (the database) and whatever client tool you use to connect to it. "Oracle" (the database) doesn't have an "upload scripts" option. Some un-named application does.
the script is uploaded, but when i try to "run" it , nothing , blank page. no tables, nada. And given what I've said above, you can guess what this statement means. - grin -
My first guess was, well the teacher said " i.e. only " , so i tried installing i.e. , using winetricks, but i had a feeling i was going off-track, and that surely there must have been a much easier way.
Even Billy was more charitable toward your teacher than I feel. And when he is so wrong about something as simple as this, makes me wonder what else he is wrong about. And the quality of the teachers calls into question the quality of the school in general.
In fact, had I been told that by an instructor, I would make it a personal mission to prove him wrong. Not in front of the class (as much short term satisfaction as that may provide) but just by taking my laptop to his office and saying "let me show you something". One of my personal hot buttons is for someone who should know better to pronounce something as "won't work" when I've been doing it for so long and so easily as to just take it for granted.

Linux (fedora 14) is up and running,
oracle 10g , linux version, was installed using detailed guide.
And yes, i will look into oracle linux, and oracle 11g ,
but i was hoping to use the same version as my school, to avoid any surprises when passing my exams.Edited by: EdStevens on Jun 13, 2011 3:02 PM

Installing Oracle 10g

I have centos 5.8 and I want to install oracle 11g, is there any problem related to the O.S version ? it is better idea to install Oracle 10g insted 11g ?
Thanks.

CentOS is not a supported distro - supported OS versions are listed in the Linux Install guides for your specific version of Oracle at http://docs.oracle.com
Others have attempted to use CentOS, some successfully. Any issues arising out of the install or use of the software on this OS, you will have to troubleshoot on your own.
Is there a reason you cannot use a supported OS ?

[Solaris] rebooting in installing Oracle 10g R2 after Clusterware install

Hi..
Currently I am practicing the configuration of Oracle 10g R2 RAC (Solaris x86-64) with a Clusterware 10g on VMware
With the installation of Oracle Clusterware 10g software, there's no problem and look like working well on both nodes.
But, whenever I try installing the Oracle 10g R2 with 'install the software only' option, I got unstoppable rebooting
problem on the first node, rac1.
I tried both installation mode: OUI-typed and Silent approaches. Nothing worked!!
I wanted to figure out why this problem happened, but so far I did not have any bright answer for this. I looked in
the log and error files from /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs, but there's no good answer or hint to resolve the
problem I have now.
Until now I tried 4 times of installations, but all stopped and were automatically rebooted at the same point with
almost 3% copying of software. I found some of trainers are having same problem I have now.
oracle@rac1 ~ $ crs_stat -t
Name           Type           Target    State     Host
ora.rac1.gsd   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac1
ora.rac1.ons   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac1
ora.rac1.vip   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac1
ora.rac2.gsd   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac2
ora.rac2.ons   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac2
ora.rac2.vip   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac2
This happens whenever I install the Oracle 10g R2 software.
Is there any unknown or hidden problem regarding CRS or something else?
Anybody has some hints or solution to this problem? If so, please let me have it ASAP.
Thank you so much.

I have gone through similar problem when installing oracle 10g in linux. You should follow the oracle installation documentation and make sure that all required OS patches and packages must be installed before starting the oracle installation. In my installation few OS packages was missing in the oracle documentation too and searching over the net solved the problem. I have installed few extra OS packages (RPM) and installed oracle successfully.

Hi
Here's the resolution that can work for you:
Disable the "Print Spooler" service before running the installer.
1.Open Control Panel: Start --> Settings --> Control Panel
2.Double-click "Services"
3.On the list of NT Services, right-click "Print Spooler"
4.Select "Stop"
5.Select "Properties"
6.Under Startup Type, select "manual" or "disabled"
7.Reboot your NT Server
8.After rebooting, verify that the Print Spooler is still "stopped".
9.Delete Program Files\Common Files\Installshield\Engine folder
10.Re-run the installer.
11.After installation, re-set the Print Spooler service to Startup type "Automatic" and start the service.
Also, have a look at the installshield page: http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108167

Error message when installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP Professional

Hello,
I need help installing oracle 10g database. When I attempt to run the installation from the setup.exe icon, I get a message that says
"Error in writing to directory C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\OraInstall2007-04-29_01-19-29PM. Please ensure this directory is writable and has atleast 45Mb of disk space. Installation cannot continue."
When I try to open the installation from the Autorun icon, it points to an innability to find setup.exe and when I go back to Setup.exe, it gives me the above error. Everytime I try to run the installation and it fails, the installation leaves a folder in my Temp folder with the above format. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I do have administrative privilege on my computer and I have plenty of space. I have 80gb of free space. What do I do to successfully install the software without incurring those messages I displayed in my first thread?

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.

"Error In Writing to directory ..." getting the error while installing oracle 10g in laptop

Hi
I thought I'd make my first post a hijack of a vaguely related thread,
then some kind moderator could separate it out and branch it off to a post of its own.
I'm not even sure this is in the proper forum.
But anyhow ...
i am getting problem while installing oracle 10g in laptop its showing error as "Error in Writing to Directory C:\Users\Accent.Muthu\Appdata\Local\temp\OraInstall2011-03-03-10-51-53 AM.
Please ensure that the directory is writable and has atleast of 45 MB of disk space.Installation can not continue.
so please tell me the solution as soon as possible
thanks,

Try the few resolutions mentioned here -

Installing Oracle 10g release 2 on RHEL4

I am new with Linux and Oracle, and I have been assigned to install Oracle 10g Rel 2 in RHEL4 OS.
I have checked and installed missing RPM's and created group users, passwd, configered Kernel, set Shell limits and finally created directories on root as so,
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall/u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
After, I mount the CD on root
mount /media/cdrom
After mounting is complete i enter into oracle user and do the following
su - oracle
cd /media/cdrom
./runInstaller
However, I receive the following message : Olite installation requires ORACLE_HOME to be set. PLease set it and retry again.
So I set the following like so,
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID= demo1
./runInstaller
I than get the following message.
Olite installation requires JAVA13_HOME to be set. PLease set it JDK 1.4.1 install area and rety again.
I am not sure what JAVA13_HOME is but I am wondering if it is related to some Mobile sync. Also, could somebody help me and advise if I am going in the right direction here?
Many thanks in advance.
Alex

Hi Alex
Can you please control that ?
JAVA13_HOME will be the location for your JAVA home. You can check the path for your java installtion, either 1.3 or 1.4 and set the path accordingly. Usually in Linux the path will be some thing like /local/java/jdk1.4.2.
TNS_ADMIN should point to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Please read that also http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28928_01/doc/server.103/b28924/preinstall.htm
Let us know if it helps you.
thanks
