OCS Windows Single Box Install problem

When installing the 9iAS Infrastructure portion of the single-tier install on Windows, we're seeing that the DBCA for the Infrastructure database will hang as soon as it starts. Any ideas why?
Originally, we thought that the problem lied with multiple CPUs, but we found an article to force a single-CPU install, and it went fine. Note that the Information Storage DBCA ran fine earlier in the install.
Thanks!

Another possibility if you're not running Windows 2000 Advanced Server... Windows splits available memory half and half toward kernel and user processes.
That means, if you have a 1G server, only 500M is available for OCS.
If you have a 2G server, only 1G is available for user processes.
Advanced Server lets you add a /3GB switch in the boot.ini file, check Metalink. That splits 4G into 3G for user processes and 1G for the kernel.
I ran into a similar problem as you describe on my XP Pro PC at home, I have 1G of RAM but DBCA fails (protocol error), then when it backs out of the installation for the DBCA components it also wipes out the database service.
I didn't check whether it also wipes out the oradata files, it may do that if installation of a database is unsuccessful.
I may try grabbing copies of those, the init.ora file, and back out of the ocs store db installation, then rebuild manually, test, and retry the other components.
It would be nice if we could do this step manually.
I am so desperate to make the singlebox install work that I am going to try the /3GB switch on my PC when I go home tonight... If that doesn't work I have RHAS 2.1 coming in the mail soon, I ordered it last week.

Installation of OCS windows single box version?

hi.
I was installing OCS windows single-box version.
I failed the first installation because of bad unzip files.
and then I deinstalled all components(i would say component) that I failed the installation.
I tried to install ocs second time, but
whenever i came to Oracle9iAs installation
the dialog comes up and says :
"All Oracle9iAS installations on a host must be installed by the same operating system user. The initial Oracle9iAS installation located at C:\Jason\OCS\mtier was installed by a different operating system user. Please exit this install, log in as the user who installed the initial Oracle9iAS installation, and restart the install. "
I've installed ocs with the same user. I'm 100% sure it is.
now I tried several times ( I think over 10 times )
install and deinstall and install again.
anybody got this same problem with me?
any idea?
thanks in advance

Uninstall did not remove Oracle registry keys.
You should do that manually. If you have only one home on Your machine then You should uninstall key :
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
If there are more then one home you should remove keys:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME(n)
where n is number of Collaboration home : HOME1 or HOME2
Also you should uninstall all collaboration services
MyComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
But only collaboration services must be uninstalled

SYSOP Password for Windows Single Box Install

During the calendar single box install of OCS 9.0.4.1 I did not have to imput the SYSOP password. What is this password?
Thank you in advance,
James

Disk 2 (1,974,136kb) and 3 (1,071,659kb) are very large downloads. If you are sure they downloaded correctly try a program like zip genius (www.zipgenius.it) to open them. Worked for me.

OCS windows single box installation fails

Hi there,
I´m having trouble with installing the OCSR2 single box distribution.
My environment is a Xeon with 1GB Ram running Windows Server 2003.
The machine is a blank installation without any third party tools, just the available MS patches are installed.
The information storage installer runs without any complaints but the second step which installs the IAS infrastructure fails with a couple of configuration assistants.
First one that fails is the Instance schema assistant. All other assistants are related to OID. Like Password randomize and creating guest account etc.
I have used all defaults for every setup option, though there are not many ;-)
The server is registered with our DNS server and has a fully qualified domain name, which I have proofed from other computers in our LAN.
Are there any suggestions for this issue. I´m really stuck with installation and have no idea what to do.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers Elmar

I have the same problem, on Windows 2000 Server with SP4. I noticed that the InternetDirectory service is marked as "starting". I looked at which ports were open (netstat -an) and 389 is not opened.\
I also have an another problem: the Database Configuration Assistant has failed too. It complains that I have a invalid database domain name:
Invalide database domain name. The database domain name must start with an alphabetical character.
But my database domain name (and SID) only contains letters.

I see the single box OCS R2 for Linux, but when will a single box version of R2 be available for windows?
thx Curt

I have been seen admin guide for ocs, but still can not install this product by its description !
I download Collaboration Suite single box for WinNT from OTN site, I got three ZIP file and extract into a same new directory c:\ocs, then I got these directory :
c:\OCS\DISK1\
c:\OCS\storage\DISK1
, I first run c:\ocs\disk1\install\win32\setup.exe but got java run time environment not found error message !
then I try c:\OCS\storage\DISK1\setup.exe to install storage, but must input infrastructure information in this progress(I still not install infra yet).
so, what is the correct step to install this single box OCS ?

Lenovo D20, Type 4155-21G With 5x1.5tb Raid 5, Windows 7 64bit install problem.

H
Id like to just document a current machine and works and see if any thing is glaringly wrong..
Above spec machine has an onboard marrvel 66xx raid card, a raid 5 volume has been created, total useable space is around 5.5TB.
The software in play here is the following..
Orignal Lenovo recovery disk set, this is Rescue and recovery boot disk 1, then the OS which is Vista 32 Business, the disk label is actual 64bit but its not 64bit its 32bit.
The machine finally has to leave with Windows 7 64bit ultimate.
I have looked into the upgrade paths and so on and basicly you need vista 64bit ultimate in theory, certain hacks are possible such as renaming the os level or name via the registery, but this is dirverting from my post.
Here is what has been done and what has happend.
20th Jan.
Start of day.
Raid 5 volume created.
Factory recovery completed windows vista business 32bit.
Attempt to upgrade Windows vista business to Windows 7 ultimate from with in windows, windows 7 alerts this is not a compatable system etc.
At this stage since the 64bit upgrade is not possible from the known good lenovo state (lenovo vista business factory desktop etc) the second disks in the "Windows 7 32bit + 64bit any time upgrade package was ran.
The 32bit version of the Windows 7 ultimate was ran, this did complete sucessfully.
The 64bit version of the windows 7 was attempted once more from with in the newly installed Windows 7 32 bit but again this upgrade route is not supported.
At this stage a custom install was completed (which means a fresh install which wipes the drive) / fresh install, of the windows 7 64bit any time upgrade disk.
For some reason the Windows 7 64bit any time upgrade key failed to be accepted.
At this stage a second engineer repeated all steps completed to verify and on the second go around the FRESH install of Windows 64bit any time upgrade (stand alone install / custom etc) the key worked!..
This is were it gets interesting.
Lets recap, we have a D20 with 5x1.5tb sata hard drives in raid 5, all on the onboard marvel raid card.
Windows 7 64bit has been sucessfully installed, and of course the next step is to install the lenovo system update tool. (version for windows 7, I understand this is fully 64bit compatable..)
This was completed and pc doctor and one other misc application install, the system requested to restart and then ....
The raid BIOS of the marvel card reported that the raid had become degraded..!!
An inspection of the onboard raid information results that the disk 0 of the 5 disks, was no longer assigned to the RAID 5, with teh remaining several disks still "assigned".
At this stage the only option is to delete the raid five array and recreate it.
This has been done and the factory recovery process has once again been restarted and an attempt will be made to perform the custom install with hopefully the windows 7 64bit any time upgrade install detecting the previous version although I would say that it would not need to detect anything since this is now longer an upgrade but a custom fresh install.
Further information.
There is a System bios update from the 5th of Jan 2010, this has been burnt to cd and will be applyed against the machine shortly.
We have had some conversation about just how it is that a disk can fatally pop out from the raid five volume like this, was it a coincidence that it coninsided with the power cycle process dirrectly after the system update installation?
Tommorow a Windows 64bit OEM package will be applied against this machine and since we have the relivant driver file for the onboard raid card (sourced from the drivers and applications lenovo recovery disk set), there should be less of a problem in key acceptance.
Kind of a werid situation, what looks like a possible hardware problem and a stupid microsoft upgrade qulification problem.
Is there any thing stupid I have over looked?
Thanks, sorry for the long post but this is the story in full.
Note from Moderator: Fixed formatting issue.

21st Jan..
The D20 has sucessfully had vista business factory reinstalled and then Windows 7 64bit installed.
Dirrectly after the Windows 7 installation and power cycle, one of the five 1.5tb hard drives have dropped out of the raid, visable as "DEGRADED", uppon further inspection via control m, the middle drive (not drive 0 as before) drive 2 (0,1,2,3,4,5) has dropped out and is not marked as assigned, it is marked with no label or free.
This is high strangeness, it is my understanding that the RAID technologies are transparent to the OS so it should not be in any way the Windows 7 install triggering this, the last occurance was also during a Windows 7 power cycle but dirrectly after the system update tool being installed.
At this stage it would appear that Windows 7 64-bit used in conjunction with the supplment driver disk marked as (drivers and apps, windows xp vista, windows 7) is not able to complete and remain stable.
I suspect a possible driver issue but if this was the case surely the windows 7 install would not progress past the first installation point where the driver disks is required to actually use and see the array via the controler.
I will update this thread with more information as it becomes available.
Machine delivery eta to customer is tommorow so this is not good.

Windows Server 2012R2 Install problems

I am trying to install Server 2012 R2 on a Dell Power Edge 830 with 8 GB of RAM and 2 RAID 1 arrays #1 = 374 and #2 = 474. When I boot with the DVD in the drive it goes thru the normal stuff then it comes up with a Windows boot manager error "Windows
failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause" Then it lists the normal fixes "File: \windows\system32\config\system" "Status: 0xc0000001. Then it says hit enter for OS selection when you proceed it then brings
up only one choice of operating systems "Windows Setup [EMS Enabled]" or press F8 for advanced options but when you press F8 it just takes you back to the same error screen and if you select the Windows setup option it then takes you back to the
same error screen. I understand that I probably need to disable driver signature but I'm not sure how to do that with F8 not working any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my r940, it has to do with the dvd drive I finally got it to install by faking it, I removed the hard drive and put into another computer that would boot from DVD it was a desktop computer did the install up to the
first reboot, when it requests the first reboot it hasn't really done anything except initialize the disk and install the OS image form the DVD. So remove the drive and put in the 830 server and boot and complete the OS install. it will do all the hardware
detection after the boot.

Qosmio X500-106 - Windows 7 clean install problems

Hi
Recently purchased a Toshiba X500-106
and it came with Windows 7 Home Premium,
I purchased Windows 7 Ultimate as I wanted to use
Bit-Locker.
When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate OS I started my Laptop up and found that all original software was gone.
Of course, but Now the screen is dark and the Graphics aren't right as I tried to run Solitaire and it said "Graphics not hardware accelerated".
I then checked my system rating and found that My graphics was rated as "1.0"; and I can't watch any DVDs or blu-ray films, I keep trying to find a way to change the video setting but to no avail!
Is it worth me restoring the HDD to Factory Spec?
I'm not happy that it just looks bad, do I need the original software to change the settings?
I've installed all relevant divers and software from NVIDIA and Toshiba but it's not working!
What is my best option? Clean install again?
Restore HDD to factory spec?
Any help massively appreciated

Interestingly I have install Windows7 Ultimate from an upgrade (not a clean install) on my X500-02M. Now it enjoys nothing better than loocking up every 20 or 30 minutes. I have made sure there are no viruses and run "Registery Patrol" on the computer but it is still very unstable. It also is actually more unstable doing simple things like doing word docs, project programs & emails than if running a game.
So while I have all my Toshiba software my Qosmio runs like a dog.
Toshiba suggested (no surprise here) resetting the system. Seems to me an easy answer but this is not the 1st X500 02M that has done this the first became so bad it is now back with its makers. The system seems to be inherantly unstable (much like some of the old satelites but without the blue screen of death)
While I do recomend going back to the original Toshiba software (notebooks are like that) I do not recoment getting a Windows 7 ultimate upgrade pack until Toshiba makes it as the standard one seems not to work too well.

Treo650 Windows 7 sync install problems

I just got a used Treo 650 to replace my 600 which died.
My PC is running windows 7
I use Outlook 2003
Palm Desktop v4.1.4 that came with the treo works fine with outlook but the quickinstall won't work. It refuses to even run.
I upgraded to Desktop v6.2.2 That one allows me to install stuff (I think) but it won't talk to outlook.
Is there a way to go back to desktop 4.1.4 and install software etc on the treo via some other means.

Toshiba Satellite L305-S5883 Windows 7 clean install problem

I just got a new 500gb Seagate HDD (yuck, but they were on sale). I try to do a fresh install of windows 7 with the drive plugged in and it gets to unpacking 1% and then has an error and wont detect the hard drive until I restart the laptop. I figure that I got a bad hard drive or windows disk so I try another windows disk and the same thing. So I figure ill try the hard drive in another system. I pop it in with the first disk and it installs fine. I don't really know what would cause this, the toshiba has the latest bios. On another note I also tried XP install disk and that didnt even see a hard drive.

I suspect it's a variation of this situation.
The RTM version of Windows 7's installation package does not handle the new advanced-format drives.

K9A - Windows XP Patch Install Problem

New PC :
MSI K9A Mainboard
AMD X2 5200+ AM2
2 GB RAM MDT 800
WD SATA 320 GB
650 W Bequiet
ATI 1950 XTX
1. installed Windows - after it SP2
2. All Driver Mainboard Graphics sound etc.
3. System runs find
Now online Windows updates - about 68 Patches
- Ok download
Install all - reboot ! Now I see the Windows load bar and
then after 30 sec the screen turned black and reboot automatically
Tried it a few times - nothing happens - reboot all times
The Last well-known function: same - black reboot.
I thought the first time it would be because of software, which we installed but the second time we installed windows only with SP2 and drivers SP2 and then the Patches - we got the same phenomenon
Now we selected simply the first 7 Patches - Same phenomenon….
Any ideas ?

How to start single box installation

Hi
I've downloaded the 3 files for linux single box instalation(9.0.4.1), but I have problems to continue with installation, I hava an error that say that he cannot find .rsp files por storage/midtie/infra
I think I'm making something wrong uncompressing the .cpio files, because i get a lot of directories with a Disk1 label. Somebody knows the correct way to do it ? I've followed de otn directions and didn't work:
- gzip -d [all 3 files]
- cpio -idcmv < ocs_9041_onebox_lnx_file1.cpio.gz
- chmod +w Disk1
- cd Disk1
- cpio -idcmv < ocs_9041_onebox_lnx_file2.cpio.gz
- cpio -idcmv < ocs_9041_onebox_lnx_file3.cpio.gz
THanks !

I am getting the same problem when trying to install. It keeps looking for the files relative to the root directory /onebox/ instead of the directory the rsp files are located in which is /somepath/onebox/Disk1/install/linux. From my install log file I see the problem but am not sure how to fix it. The source and destination paths are being set wrong.

What do I do after installing OCS single-box Windows?

hi.
here is my environment
Windows2000Server, OCS single-box R1
I will use Oracle Calendar , Oracle Files and Oracle9iAS Portal
I'm not going to use Oracle Email.
I've installed single-box R1 successfully.
but I coudln't start Unified Message Service
if I click one of the Unified Message Service such as SMTP outbound or SMTP inbound, error appears and says "no instance"
is it because i didn't install Oracle Email which is one of the OCS component?
What do I exactly have to do after Installation?
thanks in advance

Firstly if you do not plan to use email you need to make sure you specify a proper smtp host as part of the files installation. files needs this to send its various notifications and also the password for the subscriber - once it is created.
Secondly unified messaging depends on oracle email - if you dont configure that you cant expect unified messaging to work - and you shouldnt have to start unified messaging if you do not plan to use oracle email.

OCS Single-box installation for windows??

hi.
do i have to install Oracle9i Database, before i install OCS single-box for windows?
any one have any idea?

No, You don't need oracle 9i DB installed in Single Box, Once you start Single Box installation, you will be prompted to create a DB for Files/Email and other 9i DB will be created for IAS.

Problems with downloading OCS single box win32 version

I'm trying to download OCS single box win32 and seem to have a problem with the disk2 download. (win32_ocs_90411_singlebox_Disk2.zip). The download is finishing with an incorrect size and the result is (of course) that i can't unzip the download.
The others (disk 1 and 3) are OK.
Is anyone familiar with this problem???
Thanks in advance,
Maarten

Hi Maarten!
Try to contact somebody from OTN or Oracle directly and attend them to the problem.
I never downloaded this version, but it happened to me as well that some software from OTN did not download correctly. Contacting OTN did solve this.
