Is it possible to install Oracle linux from usb?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to install Oracle linux from usb? If yes, may I know the exact procedures to do so.
I am using linux ubuntu and I tried to make a bootable usb with the dvd iso of oracle linux 6 using Unetbootin software. The installation started well.
but after formatting the harddisk, I got an error as shown below
Missing ISO 9660 image
The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive.
I think ISO 9660 image is something connected with the CD image or something. But not sure...
Can anyone help me out with this situation.... Thank you..

HI
I know this is an old post but has anyone resolved this issue? I am trying to install OEL 6U4 via usb with no luck. Keep getting Missing ISO 9660 Image. I have tried all the tools under the sun to write it to USB, also tried copying the iso to the Boot disk.. as stated above... no luck ....
I have checked the installation files using md5 and they are fine... just in case downloaded it again as well as 6U3 and 6U0.
I have installed almost every version of linux there is... but OEL is definitely the most difficult and after 3 days, I am ready to give up. Any idea?
BTW. I am using utilities on windows 8 to write the iso to USB.
Thanks

Is it possible to Install Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit in Itanium Server?

Hi Gurus,
I have 2 intel Itenium servers of same configuration. I like to install Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit in both Itanium Servers and Install Oracle 11gr2 RAC there. I have installed OEL 6.2 64-bit in x86-64 architecture server and installed Oracle 11gr2 there, but never done that in Itenium servers. Now I am confused if it is possible. To know the answer is very important for me and earlier the better.

or better way to get dvd from oracle itself.I think you can create a service request to do this, but it has been so long since I've done it I don't know if this is still true. Oracle assumes you can connect to the internet, a not unreasonable assumption these days, even if it means downloading to another computer then moving the zips around. Oracle also assumes you want to send all sorts of information over the internet to them from the database, an unreasonable assumption in my view.

Installing Oracle linux 6 using kickstart method

Hi,
Is it possible to install Oracle Linux 6 using kickstart method. Because we have multiple machines to be installed with Oracle Linux 6. Can someone throw some light on this please.

I suggest to start with chapter 32 of https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/EL6/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Installation_Guide-en-US.pdf or provide more details about the problem you are experiencing.

I wander is it on an Xeon based Blade possible to install an linux/oracle

I wander is it on an Xeon 6C X5670 95W 2.93GHz/1333MHz/12MB based Blade possible to install an linux/oracle ECC server.
Or is Xeon only for windows?
Thank you in advance

Hello Jan,
All supported platforms for IBM hardware can be found at the location SAP on Linux and this points to SAP note 171380.
You can contact IBM for older Blade / xSeries/ Netfinity models not listed under the above URL as mentioned to confirm if supported for your planned OS install.
Information about supported combinations and install procedure can be found at the following sources:
SAP on Linux -> Supported Linux kernels & Supported Linux distributions.
SAP note 407314 - Released operating systems SAP R/3 kernel 6.x ORACLE, this assumes you will be installing with Linux.
SAP note 171356 - SAP software on Linux: Essential information
SAP note 722273 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3/4: Installation and upgrade
I hope this information helps.
All the best,
Cristiano

Problem installing Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 from Oracle e-Delivery

Hello
I have been trying to install Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 from Oracle e-Delivery so that I can install Oracle 11g express edition beta.
Here are the steps that I took and the problem that I am having:
1. I downloaded the file, unzipped the file twice, which gave me 3,042 files and 13 folders with the total size = 3.07 GB.
2. I put in the DVD and restarted my PC hoping that my PC will boot from the DVD, but instead Window started.
I reported this issue to tech support from e-Delivery, but they referred me to contact you. Please assist.
Julia

3,042 files and 13 folders with the total size = 3.07 GBWhich download .zip did you choose from edelivery? Under linux-x64 I peeked "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86_64 (64 Bit) - DVD" file V15099-01.zip downloaded, it has just the one .iso file. You'll need to burn that to DVD, but with burn s/w that handles ISO files.
Also keep in mind you'll need 64 bit hardware (amd/intel 64? itanium? those are different), the only *nix platform I've got handy to try it out is -x86 :(

Possible to install Oracle EBS R12 on existing (shell) Oracle 11.1.0.7 DB?

OK...I could be crazy, but I didn't see doing an installation of EBS R12 on a pre-existing 11.1.0.7 DB in there anywhere. It looked like the regular install directions. Are you sure?If you mean to say if you can install R12 with an existing EBS/standalone database then the answer is No.
If you mean to say if you can lay down R12 software (to upgrade from 11i) with an existing EBS database then the answer is Yes.
I hope it is clean now.

Installing Oracle Linux on external hard-disk or DVD

Hi All,
Is it possible to install Oracle Enterprise Linux on external hard-disk or DVD?
I already have Windows 7 and want to install Oracle Enterprise Linux either in dual-boot mode or on external hard-disk/DVD. I want to install Oracle E-Business Suite on Linux.
Can you also let me know the minimum RAM capacity required for running Oracle E-Business Suite R12 on Oracle Enterprise Linux?
Pointers and workarounds are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kashif

It's technically possible, but why bother? Since you are asking this question you will very likely run into more trouble with such a setup. In addition, Oracle Enterprise Linux is designed for server hardware and will give you additional trouble if you install it on a desktop or laptop computer.
I would recommend to you to install Oracle Virtualbox and install OEL as a guest OS and run Linux side by side with your Windows system. There is plenty of information for this task on the web. For the latest version and info on Virtualbox see http://www.virtualbox.org/
System and hardware requirements for Oracle e-suite will be a different questions, for which you might find answers here:

Installing Oracle Linux 5.8 on Virtual Box

I'm trying to install Oracle Linux 5.8 on Virtual Box. I have downloaded V31120-01 and burned to the DVD, I think successfully.
However, when I start the Virtual machine, I get the Opening screen, "Oracle Linux" the little picture of the penguin guy, etc, so I think my DVD is good.
The screen says, "To install or upgrade in graphical mode, press the <enter> key." So I do.
Several lines of text flow across the screen, but then the process seems to stop with no prompt on what to do next or any indication that an error has occurred, it just stops.
The last lines I can see are:
ACPI: bus type pci registered
PCI: Using configuration type 1
ACPI: Interpreter enabled

I'm not sure if it's waiting for some input from me, or if there is a problem, but nothing happens beyond this point until I power down the virtual machine.

There is no need to burn a DVD because Virtualbox can directly mount and boot from the .iso image you downloaded. It is usually a good idea to check the md5 checksum of your download with the number provided by the download page to verify your download is not corrupted. There are no problems installing any version of Oracle Linux under Virtualbox provided you have the right hardware. I suggest to check the Virtualbox documentation.
Note: This is not a Virtualbox forum.

Installing Oracle Linux 6 For 11g

I'm downloading Oracle Linux 6,2 64-bit with the single intention to simply install Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition and I've never used or installed Oracle Linux before. I know that in order to install Oracle 11g database, I will need to have some kind of graphic utility like X but I do not need a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE (which is not permitted on servers per company policy). Can someone tell me what exactly or which specific options I will need to minimally install Oracle database 11g? I don't want to install the entire DVD content to my server but rather know what packages are required and ONLY install those. I don't know if the Linux installer has a fairly self explanatory / easy to use options based on me using this system as a database server but if anyone can please help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sorry everyone but I've retured back from vacation to focus back on getting Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 installed on Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit. I've got the O.S. up and I thought I selected all the correct / required packages to perform the standard installation using the Universal Installer but it's not working for some reason. I'm unable to forward my 'xclock' session from the database server host to my workstation (Ubuntu 12.04 Linux). When I open a terminal window on my Ubuntu Linux machine and type 'xclock', the application opens w/o any issues. When I SSH into my Oracle database server and attempt to forward the X11 session over to my machine, I get:
carlos@ghost:~$ ssh -x carlos@oracledb
carlos@oracledb's password:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ logout
Connection to oracledb closed.I obviously have the application 'xclock' and all required dependencies installed but for some reason it doesn't forward from my Oracle server to my workstation so that I can start the installation...

Problem Installing Oracle Linux 6.3 - 'Disc not found message box'

I'm trying to install Oracle linux on a old laptop. Single disk drive.
I downloaded V33412-01Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 3 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)
burned it as an ISO image on a CD.
Inserted the CD,started the system, cd booted and the installation started.
Skipped the verify media (I verifed it during another installation try)
selected English
selected US
When prompted for installation method, I tried selecting 'LOCAL CD/DVD' since that's where my CD is at. I get a 'Disc not found message box'.
I've also tried to select the /dev/sda1, which the installation accepted, only to fail later saying it can't find the ISO image.
I also tried putting the ISO image and unzipping the contents of the file onto a USB stick and selcting this during the install - same error.
I tried putting V33413-01 onto the USB stick and selcting that - its too big to burn on a CD, that didn't work..
Any ideas here? Though this was a easy installation but I'm scratching my head as to how to continue?

Not very clearly - for me at least.
Not sure - and not sure where to find instructions on how to do this.
It mentions that you don't need the source CDs
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 3 source DVD 1 V33413-01 3.1G
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 3 source DVD 2 V33414-01 1.7G
Not sure what to do with these anyway.
Installation
To install Oracle Linux 6.3 from DVD media, follow the following steps:
1. Download the compressed binary DVD images
Download Oracle Linux 6.3 DVD from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
You do not need to download source DVDs to install Oracle Linux.
2. Verify the downloaded media
Verify the downloaded file by comparing its sha1sum or md5sum with the published
sha1sum or md5sum.
3. Write the DVD image to DVD
Use your favorite cd burning software to write these images directly to DVD.
You should not simply copy the files onto the DVD. You must use a DVD burner
that can accept an ISO image as input, and which can create a bootable DVD
from it. To test if you have burned the images correctly, insert a burned
DVD and ensure that multiple files and directories are visible.
6. Insert the DVD, and boot
Insert the DVD into your system, boot from DVD, and follow the on-screen instructions
to deploy Oracle Linux!

HaiderIf you want to remove the existing Windows installation and replace it with Oracle Linux any other operating system, then you need to have the installation media for that new OS on a CD, and boot from there. You need to also make sure the new OS supports the hardware on which you intend to install. This question would be better asked in the [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=822] Oracle Linux forum
If you want to remove the existing Windows installation and replace it with Oracle Linux any other operating system, then a vm is not requried. A vm is required to create the new OS as a vm, which runs as a task under the host OS.

Cannot install Oracle Linux on HP DC 7700 series PCs

Hi,
Im trying to install Oracle Linux on DC 7700 series and installation got hang up at the point where the "PCI Probing starts"
Please do provide a remady for this !

1). Oracle 9i will be easily installed on these linux ?It will install easier on Oracle Linux than any other.
2). These linux distro is more or less same like other linux distros (eg: ubuntu, fedora) i means i do and install other utilities and software for other type of usages ??Since OEL is intended as an O/S for mostly servers, it may not include support for the very latest desktop / laptop hardware. It may not include consumer-type applications like MP3 players either.
3). I will not have to pay for any type of repo access or packages installation ???No, you are welcome to download, install and use OEL without any charge. You can get it from the edelivery.oracle.com site, or access it piecemeal at the http://public-yum.oracle.com web site.
If you want support or updated RPM packages since that distribution release, only then will you need to purchase a subscription.
So, use the original distribution RPM packages for free (edelivery or public-yum.oracle.com), only need paid subscription for updated RPM's or support.
4). I will be install other locally downloaded softwares ( .rpm, .sh. .bin) files like netbeans, amrok wiht avi and mp3 capabilities for playing video tutorials, open office, acrobat reader, flash, burning software, gimp, matlab and saas ??????In general, yes, you can install software intended for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Check out the EPEL project (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL for an additional repository which may already have the extra software you are looking for.

Is it possible to install Oracle 11gR2 on a Win 7 64b Home edition comp?

If so how can I? If not, why? Frustrating

Windows Home versions are not certified for Oracle installs - so, no you cannot.
You have two options
1. Upgrade to a supported OS listed in the Install Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24186/reqs.htm#CHDHGGFE
2. Install VM software (such as VirtualBox, free install from http://www.virtualbox.org), then download and install Oracle Linux 5.7 (free from http://linux.oracle.com) in the VM, then install 11gR2 in the Linux VM (Install Guide at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=)
