Installing Oracle 9i in Solaris 10

Hi
I have a server having OS Solaris 10 SPARC Edition 64 bit. I want to install Oracle 9i client in that server. I have seen in many forums ppl saying that Oracle 9i is not compatible with Solaris 10 and there are some issues related to patches.
Can anyone help me in this matter.
Thanks and Regards
Abhishek Verma

Thanks for your replies guys.
I successfully installed Oracle9i client in Solaris 10. Initially I had to set up the Kernel parameteres as Prajeevan has suggested. Later the installation was quite staright forward and same as for Linux server.
Thanks for giving your precious time for replying to my query.

    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

    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.

  • ORA-27102: out of memory. Faild to install oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10

    Hi, I want to install oracle on my solaris machine. I have 2.5G RAM and more than 5G swap file. But the ORA-27102: out of memory error occurred at installing the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant step(Copying database files Creating and starting Oracle instance).
    The only warnings bellow:
    Checking kernel parameters
    Checking for BIT_SIZE=64; found BIT_SIZE=64. Passed
    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 <<<<
    Problem: The kernel parameters do not meet the minimum requirements (see above).
    What's the reason and how may I resolve it?
    Thanks!

    I set some kernel parameters like: set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 and so on. Restart the computer and run dbca+ and configure in advance mode. There's a stage require the size of flash_recover_segment of which the default size number is 2048M. WOW, out of memory on my pc of course.
    So I think it's the parameter value during the installation progress bring on the ORA-27102 problem. However, during the first installation, there's no prompt for me to enter the parameter; or I didn't see.

  • 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 !!!

  • 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.

    If your version of Solaris is not supported, see the support matrix, you are on your own. This is likely the case.

  • 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,

    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

  • Installing Oracle 9iDS on Solaris 8 with Oracle 9i DB already running

    Current setup is some what like this. We have SunV440 Server and have Oracle 9i Database running on it. To install 9i DB we have created a user Oracle on OS Solaris8. Now we would like to install Oracle 9iDS (Developer Suite) and configure its Separate ORACLE_HOME directory, as 9iDS won't letus have it configured in the exisiting HOME. It is known that I have to stop all Oracle services and process, should I also stop listner that is running.
    Please help me in detail steps involved and also if some OS files needs to be updated
    Thanks in anticipation for help

    Hello Chessplayer!
    Before you attempt the Oracle install, make sure you have done the following as the Oracle CD does nothing but put down the Oracle binaries:
    1. Create /opt/app/oracle
    2. Put a .profile in /opt/app/oracle sourcing your Oracle_Home and Oracle_Sid.
    3. Create file systems (volumes) where database datafiles will go. If you are working
    with a single disk, /vol01 is sufficient. However, you may want to create others to simulate
    multiple disks and the concept of "spreading" your load ie. data from index.
    4. You may also want to create a /dumps file system for oracle dump files.
    Have fun.

  • Need to install ORACLE 9i on solaris x86

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me where I can get DB Oracle 9i for Solaris x86?
    If not, what can I use?
    Thanks.
    Marfy

    Unfortunately no chance. 9i was never supported on Solaris x86 and is desupported now on all other platforms. Use 10gR2 instead.
