Installing Oracle 10G on Solaris 10 (Intel)

Hi,
I attempting to install Oracle 10G Release 1 on Solaris 10 OS (Sun Blade 1500). When attempting to run the installer, I get the following error:
$ /runInstaller
./runInstaller: /export/home/app/oracle/Disk1/install/runInstaller: cannot execute

Hi,
When I download the file from oracle I executed the following commands as root
#gunzip oracle_file
#cpio -idcmv < oracle_file
#cp -r Disk1 /export/home/app/oracle (this is the oracle's user home dir)
#chown R oracle:oinstall /export/home/app/oracle
#chmod -R /export/home/app/oracle
#su - oracle
$env | more (all my environment variables are set)
$cd Disk1
$ls -l
-rwxrwxr-x 1 oracle oinstall 948 Dec 22 14:56 runInstaller
$./runInstaller
./runInstaller: /export/home/app/oracle/Disk1/install/runInstaller: cannot execute
$. cd install ls -l
-rwxrwxr-x 1 oracle oinstall 81004 Dec 22 14:56 runInstaller
The owner of the file and permissions looks okay to me. I don't understand what the problems is

Error while installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 9 x86

Hi all,
I got several error after install oracle 10g. After I run the root.sh. It prompt :
Starting Oracle CSS service under init(1M)
Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 120 seconds.
Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.
and when I start sqlplus, it prompt:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Intel SVR4 UNIX Error: 2: No such file or directory
and following the error message prompt every minutes.
"oracle: (Oracle CSSD will be run out of init)"
"root: Failure in CSS initialization opening OCR."
I don't think reinstall oracle will solve my problem if I don't figure out what going wrong. Could anyone tell me what I need to do? Thanks very much for helping.
Cheers,
Alex

Install oracle 10g on solaris 9 platform without setting noexec_user_stack

Hi,
I'd like install oracle 10g software on solaris 2.9 platform without setting noexec_user_stack parameter to 1.
The problem is that i need install software before, for migrating product environment.
I can write /etc/system file but i can't reboot system until several days.
I will not start migration process until i reboot the system and parameter definitely set.
Do you know if we will can have any kind of problem???
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer FZheng. But i will just install software. I will not start any oracle 10g process until i reboot the machine.
I think that oracle software installacion should not be affected. Do you know if this parameter affect to compile softwere during OUI wizard progress???.
Before going on migration process and start database i will sure that this parameter is correctly fixed.
PD.: I couldn't read metalink reference that you've suggested becouse my metalink account have problem access in this momment. During all day i've been reeding metalinks docs without any problem until this momment, bad luck.
In test environment i've installed oracle without this parameter and i've never had any problem. But this installation is more important than others becouse i ask you in this specialist forum.
Thanks again !!!

Hi Guys,
I am trying to Install Oracle 8i under Solaris 8 Intel version with Pentium 4 processor fixed.But iam'nt able to continue after I click "Install" button,the runInstaller exited badly with no response.I was told that even Installing Oracle under Windows P4 is facing the same problem,but on searching I got solution by renaming a DDL file before starting installation.Is there any similar method to do for installing it under p4 processor on solaris intel 8 version.

Can't install oracle 10g on solaris v10 X86!!!

Hi everybody, I got error messages below:
====================================================
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10

=====================================================
Does that mean there is not Oracle 10g for Solairs 10 X86?
Where can I find Oracle 9i for Solairs x86?
Thanks advance!

10g on Solaris 10 needs special handling:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Solaris 10 x86 5.10 cannot install Oracle 10g (needs 5.9 or less!)

I installed the latest Solaris 10 x86 rev 5.10 and then downloaded the "New" Oracle 10g for Solaris x86 oddly but not suprisingly the "New" Oracle 10g only installs on Solaris 10 x86 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 GO FIGURE.
Seem there should be a way to fake out the software to see a different version.
Anybody know how to do this?
thanks
Phil

And another workaround that seems to work can be found here:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/fintanr/20040803
To quote from that page:
Oracle 10g install on Solaris 10 workaround
Quick work around for installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 (in our case on a v20z).
After creating your staging area you run the Oracle installer and get an error similar to the following
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9.    Actual 5.10
                                      Failed <<<<
To work around this you need to edit the oraparam.ini file, in our case this is /export/ora/Disk1/install/oraparam.ini.
Edit the section
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9
to be
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9,5.10
And thats it, just run through your install as normal.

LRM -00109:could not open parameter file Oracle 10g in Solaris 10

Hallo! I have just installed Oracle 10g in Solaris 10.When I logged into sqlplus / as sysdba if found that I was connected to an idle instance. When I tried to startup open the db, the following error appeared
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup open;
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsolaris.ora'
My pfile has the name init.ora and not initsolaris.ora.How can I change the settings to make the Oracle database start via pfile init.ora.
Eventually,I would like the db to read the spfile spfileorcl.ora during the startup.How can I achieve this?
Thanks

By default, oracle will look first for a spfile named "spfile<ORACLE_SID>.ora". Lacking that, it will try to find "init<ORACLE_SID>).ora.
Eventually,I would like the db to read the spfile spfileorcl.ora during the startup.How can I achieve this?
Once you have started the db (I believe a startup nomount will be sufficient) you can issue CREATE SPFILE ... Details are in the fine SQL Reference manual found at tahiti.oracle.com
BTW, "open" is the default behavior of "startup", so no need to specify it. A simple "startup" does the same thing.
Thanks

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:
Checking operating system version: must be 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10. Actual 5.10 Passed
Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 13289 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 13492 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> 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:

That's my open source swiss army knife.

Oracle 10g on solaris 10 : kernel parameter warning

I am installing oracle 10g on Solaris 10.
I have a warning on kernel parameter missing (shminfo_shmmax for example) during the system check.
I understood that with the 10 version of solaris these parameters are replaced by ressources control and I have checked them. They are correctly setted.
Need I do something before continue the install to release the warning or can I bypass this issue and continue the install as I have no warning ?
Thanks for your answers.
Sorry for my english.

You are right. Since Solaris 10 kernel parameters settings in /etc/system is obsolete and some parameters are deprecated.
The steps how to configure required parameters you can find in my paper (step #1.): http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora10gR2_solaris.html
I bypass this issue and continue the install as I have no warning You can safely bypass this issue during installation process but you should set these parameters after installation.

How to install Oracle 10g on zone

Hi,
I'm new in zone technology.
I have a problem with installing Oracle 10g R2 on previously created zone.
I am not able to run Oracle installer.
Is it possible to install Oracle 10g using OUI GUI?
I have exported DISPLAY variable but I there is not available xhost + command.
Normal installing Oracle 10g on Solaris I use xhost + to run installer.
But in zone this command is not available.
Could you please tell me the solution to install Oracle 10g on zone?
Kind regards,
Daniel

xhost appears not to work if you are zlogin.
What you may want to try is creating a Unix user inside the zone and then ssh into the zone as if it was a regular machine.

Installing oracle 10g release 2 on spark solaris!! urgent help!

hi guys!
Am installing oracle 10g r2 on spark sun solaris. I did install the software without any pb, but when installing the database using dbca, I have this errors.
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpcreates
Edited my kernel parameters and in the /etc/system file, ai've added
set noexec_user_stack=1
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Space aint an issue and dont know how to over come this error!
Should ai just install the db using scripts and run the neccessary .sql scripts instead of going through dbca?
junior DBA in distress.

This appears to be because of low semaphores setting. Did you reboot your server after making the /etc/system parameter changes ?
