Installation option...?

I'm trying to install 10.2 on iMac G3 (333 MHz), that is running on 9.2. The options I'm offered are Install (for the first time OS X install), and Erase and Install (erases entire disc before installation. I will also have format the disc for this option. I don't really have any data I would want to save, but I presume, both options will delete everything on the disc before the installation. Nevertheless, I don't know which option to choose...

It's cryptic - the response.
I typed what says on the Installer page - first choice for installing an OS X for the first time, and second, Erase and Install, says the destination disc will be completely erased.
Does that mean, I may choose either option...?

I think I chose the wrong Installation Option - Now what???

I installed Leopard right when it came out and love the new OS. But, at the time I did not know what the various installation options meant or implicated. So, I chose the first/default "Upgrade OSX" option.
Now, I have not been having any specific problems, but I think my computer should be faster when loading certain apps and toggling around between spaces, dashboard, and multitasking. The more I read about the installation options, I feel that my mac would run better if I reinstalled Leopard using another installation option, like Archive and Install.
Is this a true concern? Should I reinstall using another option to operate at full potential? How do I go about doing that... same as before? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Phil

Hi Phil Mutz;
So far I have used Upgrade to install Leopard on five Macs, two of my own and three for friends. So far all of them are all operating just as they were with Tiger. From my experiences with Leopard, I suspect that your problem is elsewhere on your system rather then how you installed Leopard.

Install "use typical installation options for a stand-alone primary site" All SQL Prerequisites Failed. Checks SQL before SQL is even installed?

So I select the install option to "Use typical installation options for a stand-alone primary site" which says it includes installation of SQL 2012 SP1 on the local server.
But then during the prerequisite checks it fails every SQL check.
Is it just me or a giant catch 22? Am I missing something here? How is this over looked if it is what it looks like? Why even have this simple install option if it can't work?

Take a look at my R2 install guide. This is for a stand alone primary. As Torsten states you pretty much need SQL installed and configured correctly prior to running the ConfigMgr install - along with a few other pre-reqs.

EP Central System + Dialog Instance Installation options

Hi Friends
For my production EP 6.0 WAS 6.40-Java instance I am getting 3 AIX servers, say server DBserver, Appserver1 & Appserver2, we want to install the database & CI on the DBserver, the other 2 servers need to serve the role of Application servers to the DB+CI server.
In our SAP R/3 Production systems we don't allow the users to login to the server hosting the (database+CI) & we allow them to login only to the appication servers, I want to do a similar setup for my Production portal landscape & require that the portal users are load-balanced using the SAP Web Dispatcher to the 2 application servers.
I have 2 questions on which installation options to choose to achieve the above objective.
1. Can somebody check & confirm if the below mentioned Installation sequence is correct for Installing the WAS on the 3 servers.
a) Using Installation option "Java System ->Oracle->Central System->Custom Installation-Java system" for the DBserver.
b) Installation option "Java System ->Oracle->Central System->Dialog Instance Installation" for Appserver1 & Appserver2.
2. Can somebody advice how do I need to install the portal on the 3 servers so that the above objective of load-balancing the users to the 2 App servers is met.
a) Do I need to install portal only on the DB+CI server & then the portal platform will be setup on the 2 App servers as well or
b) Can I install the portal separately on the 2 portal App servers.
Thanks & Rgds,
Abhishek

Hi Friends
Any replies will be appreciated & also rewarded with points.

ECC5 Installation option Distributed Installation

Hi
I am installing ECC5 on Windows 2003 with oracle 10g,During installation I have selected distributed installation (ABAP+JAVA).
Please could anyone tell me whether we can install abap+java on single system by selecting distributed installation option in sapinst.
Thanks
Sukrut S

Hi,
whether we can install abap+java on single system by selecting distributed installation option in sapinst.
With Distributed Installation option one can install separate SAP System Components such as Central Instance with Central Services Instance, Database Instance, etc. on separate hosts.
In ABAP+JAVA stack installation scenario, the installation variants will be consists of ABAP installation and the installation of the Java Add-In. That You can install on Single System which is having sufficient resource for the same.
Please refer [these installation guides|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700002599162004E] to get more detailed information.

JDK 1.4.2 installation options

Hi,
Can someone point me to documentation of all installation options for JDK 1.4.2 (windows)? I know how to create silent install but options for ADDLOCAL are needed (I wanto to silent install in custom path with private SDK only).

To "install" the SDK (or 1.5's JDK) only doesn't require an installer. Just copy the SDK files into the desired directory - Ther are no external references (Registry) to the SDK.. Then to run the programs, provide the full path to the executables - or set a path variable.

Is there a repair installation option?

If this was a PC I'd say that I had corrupted my Windows Registry. All I get when I boot up is a flashing folder with a question mark and the "Mac face". Is there a way to repair the OS without deleting all ythe data already o nthe Hard Drive? Sort of the Mac equivalent of using Windows XP Setup's "Repair" function?

Welcome To  Discussions DarkPhoenixe!
"...repair installation option?"
From your one of your other Topics, I think that you have Tiger 10.4.x installed. Is that correct?
Did you just install Tiger?
If so, what version of OS did you upgrade from?
Did you do a Simple Upgrade, or an Archive & Install?
Did you use a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD?
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Exactly which model Mac is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
What peripherals do you have connected? A keyboard, mouse, printer, external drive or modem, router, etc?
What happened between the last time the Mac started successfully, and when it didn't?
Have you made any changes, like upgrading the system, updated or installed any applications or programs, etc?
Have there been any unusual occurences, like freezes, crashes, power outages, etc?
Are you able to startup from the system install disc to run Disk Repair?
Have you run Repair Permissions?
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
Have you ever run any routine Maintenance procedures?

No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #

I'm tring to install this on an IBM netfinity 5100 server which has ultra 160 scsi drives.I get this message
"No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #"
Please help me. I new to UNIX and SOLARIS.Thanks!

You are probably using the INSTALL CD that comes with Solaris x86.
Don't use it but use the Software CD 1/1 to boot and install the system instead. The INSTALL CD is supposed to be used on a completely blank system (no other OS's) although even there I think Software CD 1/1 does the job.
Also, if you are new to Solaris I advice you to get the FAQ (you can find it on e.g. http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2- it should be really helpfull during the first few weeks/months on Solaris

Windows server 2012 Datacenter Hyper-V Cluster -- Failed to validate Operating System Installation Option?

Hi I have a 4 node Windows server 2012 Hyper-V cluster. When I try to run a cluster validation report, everything else is fine but it fails at validate the Operating System Installation Option step. I did some research but couldn't really find any solution.
Anyone knows how to pass this test? Thanks.
Here's the error I get when run the test:
An error occurred while executing the test.
The operation has failed. An error occurred while getting the operating system installation option for node "server1"

X-fi XtremeMusic - Full Installation Option - Windows hangs for two minutes on shutdo

I chose the full installation option for the x-fi xtrememusic soundcard, it installs fine, however after I restart my computer or shutdown, it hangs at "saving your settings" for about two minutes. I checked the "event viewer" in Windows XP Home SP2 and it has a entry stating:
Windows saved user SONY\"My User" registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
However, I then tried the minimum install, and it doesn't hang on shutdown/restart.

If I don't manage to fix this, I will reinstall windows xp but I hope I don't have to go to all that trouble.

The Server Core installation option is recommended for servers running Hyper-V

Hi,
I installed Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 on my machine and upon running BPA it says that
The Server Core installation option is recommended for servers running Hyper-V
I don't understand what it meant by re-installing hyper-v core instead of the full installation. My Hyper-v is a stand-alone Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 that is the free one.
Thanks!

Hi JAnus,

Please just ignore that .

"Enhancement Package Installation" option is missing for CRM 7.0/NW 7.1

Hi Expert,
I am trying to install EHP1 on CRM 7.0/NW 7.1. Following the installation guide, I updated the solution manager to SP stack 24, and use MOPZ to download the software packages. But when I create a new MOPZ transaction, there is only "Maintenance" option for the product of CRM, the "Enhancement Package Installation" option is missing. The Maintenance Optimizer works well for other products, such as Netweaver and ERP 6.0.
Can someone help me? Do I need to apply some notes?
Thanks,
Min

Hello,
It looks like either your company has not enrolled for the Ramp Up of CRM 7 EHP1.
If your company is indeed in the Ramp Up, please check in SCPR20 if these BC sets are activated in the listed sequence:
SOLMAN40_MOPZ_TTYP_SLMO_000
SOLMAN40_MOPZ_001
SOLMAN40_MOPZ_SP18
If one of them has no activation logs or if the date and time of the third one is earlier than the first in the list, then the Maintenance Optimizer BC sets need to be reactivated.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariñ

Th"advanced installation" option screen never showed up in ASM runInstaller

I tried to install ASM in it's own home by invoking the oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oui/bin/runInstaller.
This is what happend:
After the initial OUI welcome screen, click NEXT, it jumped right to "Specify Source Location" screen... yet the "advanced installation" option screen I was expecting has never showed up.
Anyone know what's wrong and how do I get to that "advanced installation" option screen so that I can check it first?

Never mind. Re-downloaded the server software and solved the problem.

Missing Installation Option

I have installed AS 10.1.2.0.0 on to my Linux ES4 server. The infrastructure (repository and ID Management) have been installed. When installing the Application Server, I noticed that I only have the first 2 installation options
- j2E and Web Cache
- Portal and Wireless
Why do I not have the Business Intelligence and Forms option? This is what I really need.
Additionally, I noticed that I do not have the option to create DADs. Is this because BI has not been installed?
Can BI be installed separately, or do I need a new AS installation CD?
Thank you for any help that you may have.

I would suggest always to download the latest version (of your release) direct from http://otn.oracle.com (hoover or click download) instead of installing from actual CD's.

Skip Installation option on DevSuite Installer

Does any one know how to skip the "Select Installation Option" page of the Developer Suite installer. See screen capture below.
I have my installer setup to install the packages I want, and I want to skip this page for our and select the "evaluation" option by default. Later in our install process we will setup access to the license server (not NI VLM). I can tell users to select the evaluation option, but I'd prefer to select it by default and skip this screen.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
You can do this by creating a spec file. See the KB: Automating the Installation of a Suited Installer

Which installation option is best?

I was wondering what the best installation option is for me. I've read about "Archive and Install," "Upgrade," and lastly completely whipping the HDD and then installing.
I have a MacBook Pro(the original - 1st Gen), and I currently have 33.94G used and 40.27G free. The majority of my harddrive is taken up by music and movies(which I would like to not lose, but they can be obtained again after some work). I don't think I have anything super important to save, since I have my English papers on a flash drive.
I'm not sure what option is best for me, or which option would be better for my computer since I'd like it to run smoothly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
