Answer 1

You haven't set up your prerequisites such as
pdksh version
binutils version
do the commands rpm -qa | grep pdksh
and rpm -qa | grep binutils
to see which versions you have installed (if any)
You need to set up Environment ulimit and kernel parameters
its in the documentation but to summarise:
to set the ulimits for the oracle user.
Type cd /etc/security
Type vi limits.conf
Add the following lines to the file.
@oracle<tab><tab>hard<tab>nofile<tab><tab>65535
@oracle<tab><tab>hard<tab>nproc<tab><tab>16384
@dba<tab><tab>hard<tab>nofile<tab><tab>65535
@dba<tab><tab>hard<tab>nproc<tab><tab>16384
Save the file.
Note: <tab> means press the tab key.
Check that this has worked by typing
su – oracle
ulimit – aH
You should see something like this
core file size (blocks) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes) unlimited
file size (blocks) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) unlimited
open files 65535
pipe size (512 bytes) 8
stack size (kbytes) unlimited
cpu time (seconds) unlimited
max user processes 16384
virtual memory (kbytes) unlimited
Press CTRL-D to get back to the root shell.
You now need to set the kernel parameters.
Type cd /etc
Type vi sysctl.conf
Add the following lines to the file
# Oracle additions
kernel.sem = 100 32000 100 100
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 100
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
fs.file-max = 65536
Save the file
Reboot the system to bring in the changes.
Logon as root and do the following:
Type cd /etc
Type vi services
Remove the following 4 lines
ldap 389/tcp
ldap 389/udp
ldaps 636/tcp # LDAP over SSL
ldaps 636/udp # LDAP over SSL
Save the file.
Type cd /bin
Type ln –s /sbin/fuser fuser
All these must be set up before you install oracle 9ias on Linux otherwise you will get the problems you describe :-)
