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.

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 .

Precautions to Be Taken With Oracle 10G During Solaris 10g Upgrade

Hi
We are upgrading our servers from Solaris 9 to Solaris10. Could anybody please help me in understanding the
precautions that i should be taken from the Oracle 10g DB perspective during the Solaris upgrade.

Pavan,
you'd better post your question in a different forum -> Database -> Installation
Database Installation
as this forum deals with migrations of foreign databases to Oracle.

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.

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.

ClassNotFound Error with Oracle 10g...please help!

Hello everyone!
I am currently using jdk 1.4.2_10 with Oracle 10g. I tried to connect to the database, like this:
try{
String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
String serverName = "***.***.*.*";
String portNumber = "****";
String sid = "****";
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
String usr = "*****";
String pwd = "*****";
//Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName(driverName);
//Connect to the base
connect = DriverManager.getConnection(url,usr,pwd);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error---No database driver");
catch(SQLException s){
System.out.println("Error---No connection to the database");
Here is what's in my classpath, (i added the ojdbc14.jar) :
c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
Can anyone please help me?
It's really a problem, i've been searching for 2 days now.....
thank you

Most likely it is about
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
You need to include Oracle JDBC lib.
If you are using JDeveloper then:
In Project properties click on Libraries
Click AddLibrary
In the list that appears choose Oracle JDBC

Error while installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10.

Hi all,
I am trying to install Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 (x86). I did every thing that is given in the Installation manual
created user,group and directories. set all the env variables.
executing the runinstaller it throws error
error in writing to directory /tmp/OraInstall2009-04-06_07-14-09PM.please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 69MB of disk space.Installation Cannot continue.+

Check also if the t-bit is set:
[root@vtl1g121 ~]# ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Apr 10 11:44 /tmp
This is needed to mark the filesystem/directory as temporary.
Sometimes this can cause such problems also
Command: chmod +t /tmp

Complexities of Migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris to HP-UX Itanium

Can anyone share their experiences with regards to migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris on a Sun platform to HP-UX 11i v3 (Itanium) on HP Integrity servers. We are trying to consider all the risks associated with such a move. How much time delay did you experience in resolving unexpected issues along the way? How complex is the process? If you had to do it all over again, would you?
In addtion, we will also be migrating Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i (11.5.10.2).
We appreciate your helpful feedback.
Thank you.

Here is more information:
- the database size is currently about 500GB
- our ASP allows us to be down as much as we want however the company's own needs can only allow a downtime window of two days (over the weekend)
- i presume further that RMAN might be an option to use to backup the database and instance to some transportable media
- it would take about four days to get that media from the ASP to our facility so durign that time the instance at the ASP would have to be used
- after we get the backup media and load everything into our in-house site, our last step would be to find a way to migrate all changes over the WAN. I am told that unless the platforms are the same on both ends, mirroring will be extremely difficult or impossible. If we have a platform that is different from the ASP platform, then the migration of all changes will require conversion and other mechanisms. I am told that HP-UX has so much complexities that this will be a daunting task to accomplish.
Do you have any opinions and recommnedations?

Doubts intalling Oracle 10G in Solaris 10.

Hi Buddies;
I'm installing Oracle 10g, in Solaris 10, first I uncompressed this file 10gr2_db_sol.cpio. Now, when I execute runInstaller I got this message:

>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Ch eck if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<<
Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
What I supposed to do? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
look at:
Re: Problem in adding database
maybe it helps. It that thread I showed how I usually manage X11 window. Another way is to do everything silent with scripts as shown here:
http://www.oratoolkit.ch/knowledge/howto/installation/eeSrv-10g-R2-on-Solaris-10-sparc.php
That's my open source swiss army knife.

Hi ,
     First of all please check availability of your OS + DB requiremnts whether it is supported by SAP or not.You can check this at Product Availability Matrix at ::
http://service.sap.com/pam
     If this support for your environment i.e.RedHat Linux 5.2 with Oracle 10G then be informed that after starting sapinst in step create database it will prompt you for installing your oracle DB. So open a new window & install your databse ,do the patching of your DB & then continue with sapinst after successfull installation of oracle.Rest of details sapinst will prompot you during instal;lation.
    Hope this will guide you for your query.
Thanks..

[Beginner Oracle 10g on Solaris 10]Script Root.sh asking road

Hello,
Need help please, Iam near the end of my installation Oracle 10g on Solaris 10, Oracle installer ask me to execute Root.sh, he ask me a path, suggesting me this road /usr/local/bin
The message is Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory : usr/local/bin/ ?
my path is
$PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin/:usr/ucb
$ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/oraInventory.
This message follow after I executed orainstRoot.sh successfully.
Thx for any help.
Edited by: user583169 on Feb 24, 2009 1:41 PM

This script asks for path where oraenv, coraenv and dbhome scripts should be copied/created.
Default (suggested) path (full path to directory) is /usr/local/bin directory but you can specify your own directory.
So you have at least two options:
1. Use default location and put /usr/local/bin to your $PATH environment variable
2. You can specify your own path which exists (is set) in $PATH variable (for example /usr/bin)
