Install on Solaris 9

I am using an Ultra60, 512MB, 2*450 processors.
Nothing but Solaris9 installed.
Try to install 9.2.1.0.1 Enterprise Edition 64bit. All OK untill database creation when I get 'run out of memory' error. In Solaris 8 with Oracle 7 you had to modify /etc/system shared memory parameters. Is this still the case for Soraris9/Oracle9i.
Thanks Terry Bennett

The Oracle documentation was pretty scarce on this but there were other docs on the Net which pointed out the correct parameters to edit. I added the following lines to /etc/system:
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
After adding these lines, reboot your server and you can verify the values using the system command.
Hope this helps.

Unable to install a Solaris OS in a Single disk slice

Hi,
We are unable to install the Solaris-OS on a single slice disk.
We found that, only "Solaris 10 10/08 (U6)" release can support the single slice disk installation, prior release are not. Is it true ?
We found it from "LDoms Community Cookbook " , from given link
http://wikis.sun.com/display/SolarisLogicalDomains/Section+2+-VirtualDevices
Paragraph is
" Before Solaris 10 10/08 (U6), when a backend is exported to a domain as a single slice disk, it will appear in that domain as a disk with a single partition (s0). Such a disk is not visible with the format(1m) command and its partition table can not be changed. A single slice disk will not be visible from the Solaris installer and can not be select as a disk device on which Solaris can be installed. "

Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

There are two options:
1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
available at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.

What packages are required for an 11.2.0.3 install on Solaris 11?

Where can I find information on which packages are required to install Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 11?
The documentation only mentions Solaris 10. I tracked down the packages required for Solaris 10, and most of them are either included in the GA release of 11 or obsoleted.
There are however a couple of packages that are missing from the base install of Solaris 11:
SUNWarc (renamed to):
     * consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation (installed)
     * developer/library/lint (missing)
SUNWhea (renamed to):
     * consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation (installed)
     * system/header (misising)
So it looks like developer/library/lint and system/header are packages from required for Solaris 10 that are missing on 11. The installer however doesn't check for any packages whatsoever.
Does that mean it's safe to install the database?
Edited by: 894946 on Nov 21, 2011 8:38 AM

Here is list of packages you need in order to install Oracle 11gR2 on Solaris 11:
SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibms SUNWpool SUNWpoolr SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWlibm SUNWuiu8 SUNWfont-xorg-core SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1 SUNWmfrun SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwplt
Some of the above are installed by default which you can find by:
pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibms SUNWpool SUNWpoolr SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWlibm SUNWuiu8 SUNWfont-xorg-core SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1 SUNWmfrun SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwplt
I believe you will only have to install the following:
pkg install compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt SUNWarc SUNWhea SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs
Cheers

How to install Sun solaries 9 or 10.

Hi,
I am trying to install Sun solaries 9 or 10.over AMD 64.
Please guide me to install sun on AMD.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandan.

The very first thing you should do is go over the HCL or Hardware Compatability List. The most likely problems you will run into are the show stoppers, first and most likely will be the network card, if you have an onboard card that is part of the mainboard find out what kind it is and then check the HCL, if it is not there then pickup a PCI network card that is on the HCL list. Second will be the video, again find out with the HCL, worst case is you will get it installed and the X server won't work right. Again you may end up picking up an AGP or PCI video card that is supported.
As far as installing it's just a matter of booting of the installer CD and following the directions, take all the defaults first then do a bit of research on drive slicing and install it a second time.
I have not had good luck with the DVD's no matter whether they are going on a Intel, AMD or a SUN platform.

Hi Joe,
thanks a lot for your hint, the problem is solved with editing /etc/release.
There should be a user-information pointing to the source of the problem, just aborting
the install-script is not very nice.
Do you know whether this "/etc/release-abort" is present with update to LMS 4.01 install-script
and other patches?
I like this forum

Thank you in advance..In general, each product has an installation manual - found through http://docs.oracle.com and possibly http://tahiti.oracle.com and the install manual clearly identifies the (minimum) support OS and Release information.

How to change default port in iws 4.1 installed in Solaris 5.9

Hi All,
I had installed iws 4.1 in solaris 5.9
Now , I want to change my default https port from 443 to 445 .
Can anybody , Please let me know the proceudre how to do it ?
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards
James

Ya , Manish you are right IWS 4.1 is really old.
But My application has been developed in past that is using IWS4.1 .
Right now , we are not having budget to migrate it from IWS4.1 to IWS6.1.
And the pointer for changing the port from magnus.conf is also correct but
I need to make it default port.
That means If would not specify any port number out of two port request goes to default one.
Right now default port is 443
But I want it to be 445
Thanks

10g Universal Installer kernel errors while installing on Solaris 5.10

Hi all,
I have been trying to install Oracle 10g on a Solaris 5.10 machine (32-bit) as per the official Oracle Documentation for a couple of days now. It seems that the Universal Installer fails it's pre-installation steps and throws up error at the following kernel parameters:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
I have followed the Oracle Documentation which says to change the kernel parameters using the resource control facility. For this I already have a project "oracle" which the user "oracle" has been assigned to:
$ id -ap oracle
uid=100(oracle) gid=100(oinstall) groups=100(oinstall),101(dba) projid=100(oracle)
Following are the snapshots from the prctl command on the current state of the kernel paramters:
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 254MB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 4GB - I expect Universal Installer check to fail for this, so I change the parameter using the resource control facility by logging in as root in a new terminal and keeping one oracle session active.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
I can see that the parameter has been set correctly when I do:
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 4.00GB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
For Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-sem-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
Also when I try to issue the command:
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-nsems -i project oracle
I get:
prctl: failed to get resource control for project.max-sem-nsems: Invalid argument
Oracle recommends I should set a value of 256.
After setting up all this I still get the following errors from Universal Installer:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Now when I modify the kernel settings by editing the /etc/system file without even a reboot I'm can see all my Universal Installer Kernel checks as passed.
Not sure if I'm missing out some crucial step while setting up the kernel parameter using the resource control facility?
~ Somjit

It is bug in OUI.
OUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
It should check the kernel parameter settings using the prctl.
Check metalink note 363436.1
workaround is to
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or as You already did, change /etc/system as well.
