Install 9iAS on Solaris

Can anyone tell me what kind of person my company will need to hire, in order to perform the install of Oracle 9iAS, database, webserver (and anything else that is needed). Do we need a system administrator who is not only proficient in setting up a Unix machine, but also someone who is familiar in Oracle specifics?
Many thanks.

Eva, You don't necessarily have to go thru Oracle to find a technical person to do the install. I am one of their 9iAS strategic partners from the installation / integration side.
Email me the specifics of what you are looking for and I'll see if I can help.

Installing 9iAS on Sun Solaris 5.7

Hi,
I am trying to install 9ias on SunOS 5.7. We have a 8i database up and running
on the boxalready. During the 9ias installation, we entered a separate
oracle_home, for a new instance we created. After, a dialog box poped up and
asked me to open another terminal and login as root to run root.sh in that
terminal- what I want to know is what will this root.sh script do to my
existing(original)oracle_home, environment variables, .profile etc.?
Your help is much appreciated.

You can read the root.sh script in your 9iAS home (copy below). Make sure that when root is logged in the ORACLE_HOME gets set properly so the CHMODs etc act in the correct directories.

Problems installing 9iAS on NT4 SP 6

I'm trying to install 9iAS on an NT4 SP6 platform, with the database (Oracle 8.1.7) on a Sun Solaris platform.
Immediately after the installation program creates the wireless account on the database, the install just stops and doesn't launch the Configuration Tools program or remove the "Install Oracle 9I AS" icon from the Startup folder. Also, there also doesn't appear to be any component of the "Oracle HTTP Server" in the NT Services
Had posted this originally on Metalink, but was told since I downloaded the iAS from Technet (4/26/01), I need to post questions to this forum. SO: Was told "The hang after the wireless install completes is a know issue. Unpublished Bug: 1643172 ". What do I need to do to work around this bug?
Thanks,

Installing 9iAS 1.0.2.2 on 9i database

Installing 9iAS 1.0.2.2 on 9i database and getting an
error: "ORA-04031: unable to allocate 40972 bytes of shared
memory ("large pool","unknown object","koh-kghu sessi","pl/sql
Errors encountered in the Install process. Installation Aborted."
Error occured on 49% of installation process! Anyone have any
ideas?
Thanks,
Janez

Dear Janez,
I understand the disappointment you are going through right now,
because I my self went through the same feeling of frustration
for a long time before I could successfully install Oracle9iAS
1.0.2.2 in conjunction with an Oracle9i 9.0.1 database (on the
Windows platform).
First of all, for some reason (???) Oracle no longer allows any
user to connect as SYS without the "as SYSDBA" clause. The OPCA
wizard requests the SYS password and connect string for the
database where it has to create the Portal Repository. I believe
that the "opca.jar" has the login credentials hard-coded
as "SYS" (without the "as SYSDBA" clause). To work around this,
set the parameter O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=TRUE in the
database INIT.ORA file.
The next problem I faced was with the Oracle JDBC driver that
was supplied along with the Oracle9i database (release 9.0.1). I
found that I was not being able to establish a simple connection
using the classes111.zip or classes12.zip provided with the
Oracle9i database itself. I then visited the Oracle Technology
Network to search for Oracle9i JDBC drivers and downloaded the
classes12.zip file listed for the Solaris platform (there were
no JDBC drivers listed for the Oracle9i database on Windows
NT/2000, only Oracle8i release 8.1.7).
Then I ran the Portal Configuration Assistant batch file
(launch.bat) after replacing the existing classes111.zip in the
script's CLASSPATH with the classes12.zip I had just downloaded.
Now I was getting the same error message that you have listed.
I then attempted to create the Portal 3.0.9 repository manually
instead of using the Configuration Wizard and was finally able
to do so. I am outlining the steps below that you have to follow
to do the same.
1. With a text editor, open the following file:
<ORACLE_HOME>\portal30\admin\plsql\cat\catload.sql
2. Comment out the following line:
REM spool ..\..\portal30\admin\plsql\cat\catldscr.sql
3. Add a new line to indicate the correct location of
catldscr.sql for a manual installation:
spool catldscr.sql
4. Save and close the file.
5. With a text editor, open the following file:
<ORACLE_HOME>\portal30\admin\plsql\owa\owaload.sql
6. Comment out the following line:
REM spool ..\..\portal30\admin\plsql\owa\wpildscr.sql
7. Add a new line to indicate the correct location of
wpildscr.sql for a manual installation:
spool wpildscr.sql
8. Save and close the file.
9. Open a Command Prompt and set the ORACLE_HOME like:
set ORACLE_HOME=E:\Oracle\iSuites
10. From the %ORACLE_HOME%\portal30\admin\plsql
directory, run the onetime script to install the PL/SQL Web
Toolkit packages:
onetime.cmd -p <SYS_Password> -l onetime.log -c <connect_string>
11. Then run the Oracle9iAS Portal installation script from the
Command Prompt (%ORACLE_HOME%\portal30\admin\plsql\winstall) to
install the Oracle9iAS Portal product. This may take about 2 to
3 hours.
winstall.cmd -s portal30 -p portal30 -u users -t temp -d users -
l users -o portal30_sso -i portal30_sso_ps -r 12345 -c
<connect_string> > winstall.log
12. At a DOS prompt, run the %ORACLE_HOME%\portal30
\admin\plsql\ssodatan script. This script configures your login
via the Single Sign-On (SSO) Server.
ssodatan.cmd -w http://<Machine_Name>:<Port_No.>/pls/portal30/ -
l http://<Machine_Name>:<Port_No.>/pls/portal30_sso/ -s
portal30 –p portal30 -o portal30_sso -d portal30_sso -e
portal30_sso_ps -c <connect_string>
13. Stop and restart your HTTP server:
net stop OracleiSuitesHTTPServer
net start OracleiSuitesHTTPServer
14. In the DOS prompt, run the following two commands to install
the Portal Online Help.
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu
contimp.cmd -s portal30 -p portal30 -o portal_help -m reuse –u
database_user -d ..\..\..\doc\site\hlp30ca.dmp -c
<connect_string>
Hope this helps.

Succes installing 9iAS R2 (release 2) on RedHat Linux 7.3

I had success installing 9iAS release 2 on RedHat Linux 7.3. I used the instructions on http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml.
At first, I tried this on RedHat 8.0. Funny thing is: installation of infrastructure failed even though I followed the instructions. Then I downloaded 7.3, followed EXACTLY the same instructions and voila, works like a charm.
Puschitz' instructions are for 9i and not for 9iAS though. Some additions:
1) One of the pre-installation steps there says to set some environment variables, one of them being the SID. It's set to 'test', but of course with standard settings the sid of the database that comes along with 9iAS has a SID of 'iasdb'.
2) Also what I did, was to downgrade the binutils package to the version provided by Oracle here: http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/files/binutils_readme.html. As an alternative, Puschitz says to change some makefiles. I didn't try this.
3) I then installed the infrastructure. When finished, I exited the installation and rebooted. After the reboot:
4) I changed to the /bin directory and typed (as root):
ln -s /sbin/fuser
5) Changed back to user 'oracle' and started the infrastructure with:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidmon connect=iasdb start
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidctl connect=iasdb server=oidldapd instance=1 start
$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
6) Then started the installer and did the middletier installation. Rebooted.

Following your instructions i've also succesfull installation of ias9iR2 Infrastructure on Redhat7.3. Checked the database Iasdb and Enterprise Manager Website (on http://liminwang:1810), everything works fine. Hence i try to install Portal & Wireless on the same machine on a different Oracle_home (but on the same Oracle_base) according to the installation guide. The installation stuck when i've chosen the Portal and Wireless option. I get a warning that the Enterprise Manager Website Process is still running and it must be stopped to proceed the stallation. So i stopped this process by: $oracle_home/bin/emctl stop
Still i get the same warning. Stopping the database also doesn't help. Even when i deinstalled the Enterprise Manager Website component i get the same warning.
Please help!

How to install Dual OS(solaris 10 and Windows XP)?

I have got a 80 gb sata hard disk and i am not able to install Dual OS(solaris and Windows XP ) on it.My Partitions are as follows:
Primary partition-5GB
Remaining are extended Partition.
Extended partition details
8 gb NTFS partition(installed windows XP)
7 gb NTFS partiton(No data in it)
20 gb NTFS partition(No data in it)
20 gb NTFS partiton(has data in it)
15 gb RAW partiton
I first installed Windows xp on 8 gb Extended partiton.Then when i installed Solaris i could see only 2 partitons.One with the 5 gb and the other with the 71 gb.I actually wanted to install my solaris on the 15 gb Raw partition.Since i could not see the partition(15 gb Raw) i installed solaris on the 5 gb partition.Now when the comp boots it goes to solairs os only.i dont have the option to choose windows at all.
could any one of you explain me how the partitions are supposed to be and how could i make it as a Dual OS.

Windows uses the primary partiton for boot, too, even if you installed it on the NTFS volume in the extended partition. Wherever you install Windows, it will need the primary partition for booting. You can never boot from Windows extended partitions
As for the 15Gb raw partition, it look like what you call 'RAW partition' is actually just a small little part inside the extended partition. All your NTFS partitions (and your RAW partiton) are logical volumes and they all reside inside the extended partition. Even though Windows sees them as separate drives, each with its own drive letter, just as it sees the primary partition.
You may try do use Windows fdisk or diskpart to delete the last logical volume in the extended partition, and then get the ntfs resize tool from Linux, or the CD1 from the Debian Linux install CDs, which has it included and accessible with a nice user interface, and resize your extended partition.
I don't know if it works, I only used it to also resize some logical volume inside the partition. ntfs resize tool might not be easy to work with, you will need to read its documentation, but it does resize NTFS partitions (I have seen it).
If it works, then you will have your 15Gb as unallocated space available for a new partition. Let the Solaris installer create this new partition automatically during install.

Installing 11i on Solaris and migrating 8.0.5 to new 8.1.6 database

I've installed 11i (several times) on a new Sun solaris server. I also selected it to install a fresh database. On another server we have 11.0 and 8.0.5 database. We are using a new server to install 11i and we want to move our database over. I managed to transfer all database files over to the new server and upgrade to 8.1.6 (succeeded)
How do I proceed now to get the 11i applications to use the database i've transferred over. Is this possible??? Can't find any clear documentation on how to merge this database into the applications 11i.
Thanks

Gina, I am attempting something similar... but it involves moving an exisiting installation from HP-UX to Solaris, so I cannot move the datafiles... If I run into a method that helps both of us, I will let you know... as of now, I am installing fresh on Solaris and going to try to run upgrade scripts on existing 10.7 and exp/imp into the new instance on 11i (Solaris).
Let me know of anything you find out that could help me, and I will do the same...

Problems with installing 9ias infrastructure

Iam trying to install oracle 9ias application server on a windows 2000 professional edition.
so before installing application server iam trying to install 9ias infrastructure.
my initial attempts have failed so iam trying to reinstall it again after deinstalling the existing infrastructure.
the error iam getting is that the user who installed earlier is different from current user.
i use only one account on the machine. how can i correct the problem.
thanks

The server has 2 500mhz Pentium Processors.
Actually, I was able to bypass the issue by forcing the OUI to use 1 processer (Note 229478.1), but I am now having issues with the Infrastructure Schema Configuration Assistant. Even though it says it succeeded, the log says otherwise.

Need 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using containers and NFS

I'm looking for an 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using 2-3 containers. I need to have the NFS server reside in the global zone or on a 3rd container visable to the two rac containers.
Please share me installation guide!
Thank you!
PS - I currently have run into an install issue -
Can't change ownership on /oracle/products/11.2.0/ocr/: not owner at /oracle/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 5014.
I suspect the NFS share params from the NFS server in the global zone are not 100% correct to the two rac zones/containers.

Have you visited Oracle Support Services website (formerly metalink) to determine if your desired configuration is supported?
Last time I looked it was not.
That said Oracle database installation guides are fully documented online.

Oracle 9i install failing on Solaris 10

Oracle 9i install on Solaris 10 fails at the Database creation stage with Ora error "Out of Memory"
I have a Ultra 10 with 1GB RAM, 2GB swap and lot of space in the filesystem where I am installing Oracle
The oracle release notes asks for increased value for shmmax, shmmni etc by editing /etc/system and according to Solaris 10, it is not required as kernel dynamically allocates those values. It looks like it is NOT. How can I verify?
rcladm talks about shmmax values only with projects. How can I verify that all my applications running on a this box has a higher SHMMAX values and not on per project basis.
In older versions, sysdef could tell us the current SHMMAX values. Is there any comparable commands in Solaris 10.
I am not that comfortable with the rcladm features. Can some one show some examples.
Is anyone successful in installing Oracle9i on Solaris 10. I heard Oracle patch set 9.2.0.5 and 9.2.0.6 is certified with Solaris 10. Does it mean the original version of 9.2 does not install on Solaris 10?

'Net Configuration Assistant is failing" from installation. I tried twice and got the same problem. I tried to run 'netca' from the command line and got the same problem - Java runtime problem. I tried to install patch and could not find Oracle patches for Solaris 10 and the patches are for Solaris 9.
