DBCA hanging on 9i Rel 2 / Red Hat 8.0

O/S: Red Hat 8.0
DBMS: 9i Release 2
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2600
RAM: 1GB (Swap 2GB)
Disk partition: 10GB
As with many other correspondents of this forum, DBCA hangs at 51% progress. I have set all kernel parameters and ulimit sizes as documented, to no avail. I have tried using both BASH and KSH. HOWEVER, the parameters SHMMIN, SHMSEG and SHMVMX don't appear to exist. Maybe that's my problem...?
Many thanks in advance.

Try following instructions listed here instead.

Dbca hangs on oracle 9i2 + Redhat 9

I've tried all the tips that i found on thois site and Werner puschitz' site. Now i install the product correctly. But when at dbca excecution, i get this pop up message :
"invalid EXP descriptor signature" and dbca hangs.
I got no solution. Can you give me help?
Thanks.

It also hangs at the same spot for me, copying of README file. If you check the installation log files, I believe in the .err file. You will see an message relating to java, the linking of a file, and something about glibc.
I don't remember exact details as this happened to me yesterday and have not yet had time to work on this again.
Have seen several comments about needing to have glibc-devel and binutils installed which makes some sense since the error occurs during the link phase,(compilation not the file link, lest ye think I'm confusing the two.)
Anyway, I plan to make sure I have these and if not to install them and try again.

Installation hang on Solaris 10

I've been trying to install Solaris 10 on a Compaq(HP) ProLiant ML350 G3, so far without success. During the pre-boot Configuration process, I get a few messages about conflicts between a couple of 'devices' identified only as PNP0A00 and PNP0303. I've read elsewhere that these can be safely ignored ... so I've assumed that's correct and let 'em go.
When the boot-from-CD process begins, the first (and last) text I see is "Loading Driver ata.bef." At that point the CD activity light stops flashing and the machine hangs hard - it has to be physically powered down. I've seen on other sites that this condition will clear up after 10 or 20 minutes, but in my case it has persisted indefinitely.
This computer, a ProLiant ML350 G3, has 2 hyperthreaded 2.2Ghz Intel Xeon CPUs, 2.8 GB of memory, q Compaq Smart Array 642 SCSI Raid controller with 4 72GB Drives in Raid 5 (seen as two volumes of 16 and 56 GB), Hitachi GCR 8480-B CD-ROM drive (IDE), ATI Rage XL PCI video, standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse, Compaq NC7760 Gigabit ethernet adapter (Broadcom).
I really need some help here...Any suggestions (short of trying a different machine altogether)?
Thank in advance,
jeff

Hi Philippe,
Thanks for your reply.
I installed the whole suite including directory server in a non-defaut install directory. I am wondering if changing install directory will cause issues.

10g R2 dbca fails in Solaris 10

Hi,
I am facing the following problem in Solaris 10 SPARC 64 bit machine.
1.     Downloaded Oracle 10g R2 installable from oracle
2.     Created user oracle and group dba and modified project settings and permissions as per quick installation guide
3.     Installation of software is successful. But dbca fails with following error message.
ORA-19624: operation failed, retry possible
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece /vol1/ora10gr2/product/10.2.0/Db_1/assistants/dbca/templates/Seed_Database.dfb
ORA-19587: error occurred at reading 0 bytes at block number 1
ORA-27091: unable to queue I/O
ORA-27067: size of I/O buffer is invalid
4.     I also tried creating scripts using dbca and running it manually. It fails with following error message in trace file
Corrupt block 1 found during reading backup piece, file=/ora10gr2/ora10gr2/product/10.2.0/Db_1/assistants/dbca/templates/Seed_
Database.dfb, corr_type=3
5.     Creation of custom database also fails with similar error message
It is Solaris 10 (Solaris 10 11/06 s10s_u3wos_10 SPARC) machine with patch level 125100-05 . Please help.
Regards
Vijoy

In both cases, there it is shown a block corrupt for database file 1, that means the install media was originally corrupt and the corruption was at the seed database files.
Check the media consistency to discover if corruption was originally there. In case it was redownload the zip file for solaris and unzip it somewhere else. Look for the seed database files at the ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates and replace them.
When you created by scripts, ensure the option where the scripts only is selected, do not try to create the database by means of the dbca, run scripts from the OS.

WLS6.1 hanging on Solaris- and SIGQUIT doesn't work

Hi,
We are experiencing a problem that looks like a deadlock when our server is under load (using WLS6.1SP2, Solaris 8 and the 1.3.1 JVM supplied with WLS). After processing many requests, the server hangs and CPU usage drops to 0%. Unfortunately the standard means of getting a thread dump (sending a SIGQUIT with kill -3 or Ctrl-\) does nothing. The problem also occurs if WebLogic is running under debug (using
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=none -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5555) but alas the debugger hangs when trying to pause the server after this deadlock). It appears as though the server is not accepting any requests (including administrative requests from the console) but this doesn't seem to be due to thread starvation as CPU usage is 0%.
The only output we can get is from truss, which seems to indicate no activity at all until the SIGQUIT is received. It seems to register the SIGQUIT but it looks as though it is not being processed.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Kevin.

We found a solution to this problem, relating to the threading model that the JVM
uses.
Have a look at http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/threads/threads.html for more
details.
The default threading model on Solaris 8 is many-to-many (threads to LWPs) with
thread-based synchronisation. After playing with various threading models, we
found that the best was one-to-one with the alternate thread library. This is
the default provided by Solaris 9, but you can also tell Java to use this with
older versions of Solaris by putting the following line in your start command
prior to executing WebLogic:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/lwp:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Apologies to anyone who was looking for an answer to this beforehand: I should
have replied to this newsgroup back in September!

Java hang on Solaris 9 64 bit

On the Solaris 9 64bit while I'm using my java (jre1.3.1) application causes the Java windows to hang. These windows cannot be closed or even killed from the resident Window manager.
But if I use Solaris 8 64 bit or Solaris 9 32 bit my application works well without hang.
Can someone help me???
thank you
Rina

Although I got the following link
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/toc.htm
however, it's for Solaris 8.
Is the process same for Solaris 9 or there're any issues during the installation?
Are there any additional configuration compatibility checks need to be done?
Is there any quick installation steps like your earlier link?
Thanks.

Create database on RAC environment - DBCA hangs on clone database creation

Hi, friends!
I have two vm´s (vmware 2) with OEL 5 installed.
I´ve installed OGI and database software sucessfully. So, my crs stack is working fine in both two nodes.
However, when i use DBCA to create a database in this RAC environment, it hangs when it gets on "clone database creation", about 52% of the progress bar.
My DBCA logs don´t point any error out. It just hangs on..
I wait about 4 hours and it doesn´t move on.
I searched and found many cases like that, including here in OTN. But it seems nobody could find a resolution to this issue.
Is there any bug about OEL 5 and database 11gR2??
More details:
I apllied the patch "p8670579_112010_LINUX" on both OGI installation (before root.sh) and databae software install (also before root.sh).
Everything worked fine.
Sorry for the grammar errors.

you can trace dbca, and you can found witch step is occurs problem.
can you paste here last 15-20 sentence of dbca trace file?

Hi,
I didnt compile with -g option, but i got to the root of problem. In the program I was just doing cout , so it was very simple, but I was linking libpthread library with the program , also was giving -mt flag during compilation. When I removed this both, the program disn't dump core and nither did it hang.
But the same thing worked with solaris 2.8 64 bit CC 5.0 with patch 108528-10 .
So I just can make out the difference as to why this this is happening

RunInstaller hangs on Solaris 8 and 8.1.7 install

Hello,
We have a new 220R Solaris 8 ( Generic_108528-13 ) box
with the Oracle 8.1.7, the java installer comes up but
during the install process it hangs. Usually at the eom.conf
section ( about 75% complete). This is a Out of the Box
configuration and I have installed successfully on other
Solaris 8 and Oracle 8i builds, just not this one.
Here's a partial truss that the jre cycles through every

fixed it,
when I took out all PATH's ( setenv PATH .... ) it worked.
Here is what I had had for a PATH list:
setenv PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb
setenv PATH ${PATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin
setenv PATH ${PATH}:.
I'm guessing that the install was accessing a make from the wrong
location. that's only a guess.... anyways I commented the all
PATH variables out and the runInstaller worked/completed it task.

DBCA (10gR2) in solaris 10 doesn't create DB, has 0 errors

Hi,
I have oracle 10.2.0.1 installed on a Solaris 10 SPARC box, and am trying to create a database. When I installed Oracle, I originally opted to create a new database, but when it got to the DBCA section, the installer seems to pause with the results stating it's "in progress...". I stopped the installer, and cancelled the install. On checking the logs, there were no errors, it just seems to stop (even if I leave it for 14+ hours) with the last lines of the log being:
INFO: Configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" succeeded
INFO: Command = /export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_3/bin/dbca -progress_only

Then I installed Oracle without creating a db thinking I could create a database alone with DBCA. The installer completed successfully, but dbca isn't completing at all. It launches fine, I can progress through all the steps/panes no problems. When I get to the last pane to select db creation options, I have "Create Database" and "Generate Database Creation Scripts" checked, then I click Finish. A window opens with a summary, I click OK and that window closes. Then nothing happens. Nothing at all. No errors in the terminals, and I'm looking at the last pane of the DBCA as if it didn't do anything at all. I can uncheck the creation options and click Finish again, but I get no notification windows, and the app just seems to be open, but not doing anything. I can "Cancel" out of it though. No scripts directory is added either.
Any suggestions on how I can create a db??
Thanks!

Hello there,
I know this topic is quite old now but maybe my solution would help someone else...
I met the exact same problem than user10494040. I'm running Debian Etch (but the problem was the same with a Lenny) which was installed from a netinstall CD, and on which I've met all the prerequisites given by Oracle ( [Configuring Linux for the Installation of Oracle Database 10g|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb/install/linuxpreinst/linuxpreinst.htm] )
It was impossible for me to successfully complete the Oracle installation when the database creation option was selected in OUI, as well as the Basic Installation or the Advanced one was choosen.
I've done many tests and each time I unselected the database creation option, the installation completed successfully. So I decided to try to create my database using DBCA in command line, using the command automatically generated by OUI and on which the installation froze, just adding to it the -silent option and removing the -progress_only one.
Note :_ if your installation really freeze on the database creation command, you can also find the DBCA command automaticaly generated in the log file of the installation (available in the folder oraInventory/logs/installActions####.log where #### is the date you attempted to make your installation).
For example, with the command given by user10494040 it would looks like :
# dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName orcl -sid orcl -sysPassword 052b3cccab83184dd1ba5e728aa1ff1e189a90088c2da70291 -systemPassword 053e5dc6ab23642c16821c915b858ddc23d87c4a357e140d8e -sysmanPassword 05b123a3abe32968b37230926a9bfc13f4d4ef5e52f01e095d -dbsnmpPassword 058be1aeaba392a9299e7d3d8215720402fe045d76a03d4506 -emConfiguration LOCAL -datafileJarLocation /export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_3/assistants/dbca/templates -datafileDestination /export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/ -responseFile NO_VALUE -characterset WE8ISO8859P1 -obfuscatedPasswords true -sampleSchema true -oratabLocation /export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_3/install/oratab -recoveryAreaDestination NO_VALUE
Of course, launch this command loggued as oracle, and make sure your $ORACLE_HOME is well set.
This trick worked for me, I hope that would help someone else :-)

System_Exec and Open System Command Pipe hangs in Solaris

I'm using LV 7.1.1 on Solaris and I'm having major problems with the System Exec function in combination with Open System Command Pipe.
1. The program has to run different stuff in parallel but the System Exec won't run in parallel with Open System Command Pipe. It immediately hangs and neither function ever returns. LabVIEW must be killed.
2. After executing Open System Command Pipe, stopping the program and then executing a System Exec, that too hangs. The external script called by Open System Command Pipe is no longer running but obviously LV leaves something behind anyway. Close Pipe doesn't seem to clean up everything. Again, LabVIEW must be killed.
3. Also, regardless of any System Exec call, the first time Open System Command Pipe and Read Pipe is executed it takes a very long time to get the result. After stopping the program and restarting it, it's much faster.
Has anyone else experienced these problems?

I'm having the same difficulties... tried many things, with no luck...
