Oinstall vs dba

Hi,
we are having oracle applications 11i db (9.2.0.7) running on hp-ux itanium machine
Oracle Apps 11i DB is installed with oraprod as under dba as primary group. no other group is there in system.
and on the same machine, we are going to intall another production db (9.2.0.7) and unix oracle account as owner for this instance. I want to make this user under dba group as primary user.
which group you prefer oinstall or dba as primary group for oracle owner on unix machine?
I know oinstall group is just for oracle file system ownership and inventory ........and dba group is for maintenance like startup and shutdown etc

The new install could be under a group "dba2", it doesn't have to be "oinstall".
By convention, "oinstall" is the software owner group group while "dba" is the SYSDBA group. The two are Unix groups which can be seperate. The $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.c file would be created (and oracle binaries relinked) on the basis of your selection of group name(s) when running the installer.
(corrected "SYSOPER" to "software owner")

Trying to add oinstall and dba (for Oracle Database and Enterprise Manager) to my LDAP account

I want to add groups to my LDAP user account abc. Currently I have uid=243782(abc) gid=10(wheel) groups=1275(nsn-emp),9834(nsn-moh),10(wheel), but I want groups oinstall, oper and dba added.
According to the database installation document, local os group must include oinstall and dba.
The following local operating system groups and users are required if you are
installing Oracle Database:
■ The Oracle Inventory group (typically, oinstall)
■ The OSDBA group (typically, dba)
■ The Oracle software owner (typically, oracle)
I tried to add abc groups oinstall and dba using root user, but it failed.
Could you please inform me how to add these groups?
Thanks.

Oinstall and Dba group

What are the levels of security maintained with Oinstall and Dba group at the Oracle level.
Just want to know for which set of files we need to assign Oinstall and Dba group for which files. Is there any particular reason.
if so please let me know
kumaresh

oinstall/dba are the unix oracle privileged groups. Only the Oracle installation owner and the SYSDBA/SYSOPER roles should belong to this groups.
If you installed your RDBMS using oinstall, all of the ORACLE_HOME and oracle related files must belong to this group. If using OS authentication to startup/shutdown, and generally speaking, connect / as sysdba, your user must belong to the oracle privileged group. No other user is recommended to belong to this group as this would open excesive administrative privileges to other users.

Hi,
Have you create the orapw file in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs with orapwd ?
example :
orapwd file=${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/orapw${ORACLE_SID} password=change_on_install entries=40
Then the unix user oracle will be create in the orapw${ORACLE_SID} file
after if you want to create another user :
grant sysdba to TOTO; the unix user TOTO could do : connect / as sysdba

Ownership of datafiles after software installed by oracle:oinstall

I know this has been discussed before, but I looked through those postings I did not see my question answered. My apologies if this topic is redundant to some.
In installing 11gR2 on a new AIX 7.1 server I followed the guidelines for operating system user and group, so the Oracle software is owned by oracle:oinstall. I am about to create a database. If I leave things as they are the datafiles will be owned by oracle:oinstall. Using the group oinstall seems wrong to me and I am not sure what to do about it. In previous releases of database server the software was owned by oracle:dba, as were the datafiles. I would prefer that my datafiles still be owned by oracle:dba, not by oracle:oinstall. If I switch the primary group of the oracle user from oinstall to dba will it cause problems later when I install patches, or install the next version of Oracle database server? Would I have to switch the primary group back to oinstall before applying the patch? If I had it to do over again I would not have used oinstall and instead stuck with dba.
Please tell me your experience with this subject.
Thank you,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Are your Oracle binaries and your database datafiles all owned by oracle:oinstall?
Yes!!! without a doubt
You may go through the Oracle documented Installation guide for further reference. One of the main reason why we create oinstall group is to indicate the group as binary owners at OS level.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards

Can't Install Oracle 8.1.7 on linux

Hi,
This is related to posting 516230.
For some reason unknown to me, regardless of the media or the version, I cannot get the installation script, runInstaller to invoke on RedHat 7.1.
This is my oracle user is set up as such:
uid=501(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),501(dba)
This is my display variable setting:
[oracle@localhost oracle]$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost.localdomain:0.0
Here are the pertinent entries from my groups file:
dba:x:501:
oinstall:x:502:
osdba:x:503:
osoper:x:504:
Here is the access control list:
[oracle@localhost oracle]$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:localhost.localdomain
Every time I try to invoke the installer all I get is:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
Which I do, forever. There is no splash screen, but the processes are running:
oracle 3297 1 0 23:26 pts/4 00:00:00 ./runInstaller
oracle 3298 3297 97 23:26 pts/4 00:02:36 /home/oracle/Disk1/stage/Compone
I am not really sure what it is doing, it takes up a lot of cpu for no benefit as far as I can tell. Proof is in the output of the top command, which shows the jre eating up 98.8% of the cpu.
3298 oracle 19 0 3136 3136 964 R 98.8 0.4 7:52 jre
3309 oracle 12 0 1060 1060 840 R 0.5 0.1 0:00 top
I have 640MB of memory on a Dell Dimension XPS T600. The other post, details more of my configuration and steps I took to remedy the situation. I'm here asking this question because I have no idea where else I could go. ANY HELP AT ALL would be greatly appreciated. I have read the Linux and Oracle HOW-TO files, and anything else I could think of.
Thanks for your help
--Dana
~Replace with witty string~

Please try to unset the following variables in your environment.
UNSET LANG
UNSET LIB_PATH
and then try to Invoke the runInstaller.
Thanks,

Why can't install Oracle 8.1.7 in Redhat 7,1

Please see this page first: http://linuxfab.cx/indexEasy.php
if you really want to install, please run these files first:
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.9.i386.rpm
compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386.rpm
and try again.

Here's the easy way to do it.
1. Install EVERYTHING into your drive from Redhat 7.1; that's right choose 'EVERYTHING' when prompted at the 7.1 install.
(You need about 2GB to fit the 7.1 install plus the additional 2GB for oracle)
(Make a user named 'oracle' who will load and administer the database)
2. Type the following at the root command prompt:
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
useradd oracle -g oinstall -G dba,oper
passwd oracle (it will prompt you for the password)
3. (Now let's make the directories and assign ownership starting from the root directory)
cd /
mkdir oraclestage
mkdir orahome
mkdir ora1
mkdir ora2
mkdir ora3
(the ora1,2,...etc should be mount points on different physical disks, but just make directories if you only have one disk)
4. (Now assign ownership to the directories)
chown oracle.dba /oraclestage
chmod 775 /oraclestage
chown oracle.dba /orahome
chmod 775 /orahome
chown oracle.dba /ora1
chmod 775 /ora1
chown oracle.dba /ora2
chmod 775 /ora2
chown oracle.dba /ora3
chmod 775 /ora3
(Next log out as root and log in as oracle using the password you assigned)
5. (Now set up environmental variables IF YOU SCREW THIS UP IT WONT WORK!!!SO PAY ATTENTION)
(Go into the place where user oracle's environment variables are kept...)
cd /home/oracle
more .bash_profile
(look at your .bash_profile file. You're going to replace it with the one below...
the easiest way to do this is to copy the contents of this file into Linux and save it as 'myfile', then place it in the /home/oracle directory. Then type:
cp myfile .bash_profile
at the command prompt. Say yes if asked to replace file)
Here's the file contents:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
#PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
#BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
#export BASH_ENV PATH
#unset USERNAME
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
./usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
ORACLE_BASE=/orahome; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/orahome; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=ORCL; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$PATH:/orahome/bin; export PATH
CLASSPATH=:/orahome/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip; export CLASSPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/orahome/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
umask 022
ORA_NLS33=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ocommon/nls/admin/data; export ORA_NLS33
NLS_LANG=american; export NLS_LANG
5.1(notice the following lines:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
./usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
These are designed to make oracle compatible with LINUX. The ./usr/i386...etc. is a script that has to fire off to make oracle 817 run off a backward version of the glibc library. If this script fails when logging into the box as user oracle, then run it from the command line after you get into the box. You may have to run it from root, but fire it off.
6. Get your oracle817 tar file and copy it to the 'oraclestage' folder. Log in as root and untar it to expand it. The command is:
tar xvf linux*...etc (whatever...)
7. Next get the jdk118_v3 file from http://java.sun.com and put that on in your user/local directory. As the root user, untar it and make a symbolic link as follows:
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java)
8. Go back to the /oraclestage as user 'oracle' and do a 'cd Disk1' at the command prompt and then do a './runInstaller' from the prompt. Keep in mind that you have to be in xwindows for the latter to work. Put oracle into the 'orahome' directory. You don't need all the obnoxious 12-mile-long path statements, just put the thing into orahome.
That will get oracle817 going on your Redhat 7.1 box. It works for me. You don't have to deal with all that 'compat-glibc' loading shit. Just do an 'everything' install and it will work. Beside, what if you want to start using the box as a Linux box also? Do you want to keep searching for *.rpm files when you need extra functionality? Just throw them all in when you install.

Unable to install Oracle XE Client on Ubuntu 8.04 - "no such user"

Hi,
I've just installed Oracle XE client on my desktop machine (64bit Ubuntu 8.04), and I had to manually create some users and groups:
sudo groupadd nobody
sudo groupadd oinstall
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -g oinstall -G dba oracle
sudo passwd oracle
before the install would complete, due to what appears to be incorrect arguments to useradd by the installer.
It took quite a lot of hunting to find the above, and I'm a little concerned since no one else seems to have had the same problems.
I installed using:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-client_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb
(the force-architecture was required for the server install on my server, so I did the same here)
I read the install instructions on the oracle pages
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABFEDEI) and didn't see anything about having to manually create these accounts, and I seem to have followed the rest of the instructions correctly.
What did I do wrong? I'm probably going to have to do it again sometime, and I'm a little concerned that I might have just been causing trouble for myself by doing those extra manual steps.
Note that I had to provide a password for the oracle user; how does oracle manage to log in using this account, since I didn't have to provide it anywhere?
Any help/advice would be appreciated,
many thanks,
William
BTW I'm really not happy with the preview/post message thing in this forum; I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 and if you use preview then the back button clears the entire text (yay, thanks!); I tried to be more cunning next time, and use the back button instead, but then none of the "preview", "post message" and "cancel" buttons work... so this was my third attempt at writing this message, and it's somewhat shorter than the original, like my patience :p

How to install 9ias on Linux quick guide

I have installed the linux version of application server a couple of times now. I have noted all the steps I took to complete the installation. Everything works except for reports. Anyway here are the steps I took to get it working. Hope it helps. Note: This is for RedHat Advanced Server 2.1, I have created a user called oracle9 to own the software. Please feel free to add comments etc.
1. Install RedHat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 - install all the packages.
2. Edit files in the following directory to allow connectivity, must be as ROOT user.
/etc/xinetd.d
3. Edit the directory permissions for /usr/local and /usr/local/src as ROOT user.
This is we can install files and utilities in these directories. Also create an oracle directory to
store the software. I created /usr/local/oracle/orahome1.
chmod 777 /usr/local
chmod 777 /usr/local/src
chmod 777 /usr/local/oracle
chmod 777 /usr/local/oracle/orahome1
4. Add /usr/sbin to the PATH environment variable so that most commands are accessible.
To do this edit the /etc/profile file.
Add the following line
PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
5. Check kernel and glibc versions by running uname. ie
Kernel check is uname -r
OR
use rpm -q kernel
rpm -q glibc
The versions shoule be as follows
kernel = 2.4.9-e.3
glibc = 2.2.4-26
6. System Wide Ulimit and Swap File Settings.
Should be as follows.
time unlimited
file unlimited
data 1048576
stack 131072
memory unlimited
coredump 4194303
nofiles 2048
There are several files to enable these settings.
First we edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file to set the required limits.
File should look like this.
# /etc/security/limits.conf
#Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#Where:
#<domain> can be:
# - an user name
# - a group name, with @group syntax
# - the wildcard *, for default entry
#<type> can have the two values:
# - "soft" for enforcing the soft limits
# - "hard" for enforcing hard limits
#<item> can be one of the following:
# - core - limits the core file size (KB)
# - data - max data size (KB)
# - fsize - maximum filesize (KB)
# - memlock - max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
# - nofile - max number of open files
# - rss - max resident set size (KB)
# - stack - max stack size (KB)
# - cpu - max CPU time (MIN)
# - nproc - max number of processes
# - as - address space limit
# - maxlogins - max number of logins for this user
# - priority - the priority to run user process with
# - locks - max number of file locks the user can hold
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#* soft core 0
#* hard rss 10000
#@student hard nproc 20
#@faculty soft nproc 20
#@faculty hard nproc 50
#ftp hard nproc 0
#@student - maxlogins 4
oracle9 - nofile 65536
* - nofile 65536
* - nproc 65536
* - cpu unlimited
* - fsize unlimited
* - data 1048576
* - stack 131072
* - memlock unlimited
* - core 4194303
# End of file
We now need to edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to set the system wide ranges as ROOT user.
File should look like this.
# Disables packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
# Enables source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
# Disables the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 0
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
fs.file-max = 65536
kernel.sem = 100 32000 100 100
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 2097152
Now we need to edit the /etc/profile file to enable the settings when a user logs in.
The file contents should be modified as follows.
# No core files by default
ulimit -S -c 1000000 > /dev/null 2>&1
#Set the file handels
#echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
ulimit -n 65536 > /dev/null 2>&1
#Set the socket range
#echo 1024 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
# Set the number of processes for per user
ulimit -u 16384 > /dev/null 2>&1
Kernel Parameters
Change to following directory /proc/sys/kernel and type following
echo 250 32000 32 128 > sem
echo 2147483648 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
7. Install the ksh package if you have not already installed it on your machine.
Oracle Corporation recommends installing one of the following ksh packages:
pdksh-5.2.14-13 or other compatible packages.
RPM file is available from www.redhat.com
as root user type
rpm -i pdksh-5.2.14-16.i386.rpm
8. On Linux, port number 389 is reserved in the /etc/services file.
If you want Oracle9iAS to install using the default port number for Oracle Internet Directory,
delete the entries in the /etc/services file.
Note:
You must remove all lines containing the port number 389 from
the /etc/services file if you want to use that port number.
Attempting to comment out lines containing 389 does not free the port
9. Install JDK 1.3.1 for Linux.
This is available from java.sun.com. Although it is also included with Linux IAS9I R2
Install the JDK to /usr/local/jdk
Add the following to the /etc/profile file, and also add to path
CLASSPATH="/usr/local/jdk/lib"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/jdk/jre/lib/i386:/usr/local/jdk/jre/lib/i386/classic:
/usr/local/jdk/jre/lib/i386/native_threads"
EXPORT CLASSPATH
EXPORT LD_LIBRARY_PATH
10. Add the following groups as ROOT user
oinstall, dba
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
11. Add oracle user to groups oinstall and dba as ROOT user
usermod -g oinstall -G dba,oracle9 oracle9
12. Apply a patch for binutils rpm:
I had to get this from metalink. Not sure where else it is available.
Run following command to get installed version of binutils rpm.
prompt> rpm -qa | grep binutils
binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12
Please note down the binutils rpm version that is shown as the output of the above command.
If the operating system is installed from the RedHat 2.1 Advanced Server CDs,
you will have binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12 version installed.
You might have newer version of binutils rpm depending on your further configuration
after default OS install. If the binutils rpm version is different from 2.11.90.0.8-12,
please download that rpm.
Upgrade to binutils-2.11.90.0.8-13 version using following command (as root user):
prompt> rpm -Uvh --force binutils-2.11.90.0.8-13.i386.rpm
13. Edit Local Hosts file
Edit so that the host is in the following format
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.3.69 lon-ias01.closepf.local lon-ias01
192.168.3.66 lon-ias02.closepf.local lon-ias02
14. Create Symbolic Link from /sbin/fuser file to /bin/fuser by entering the following command.
cd /bin
ln -s /sbin/fuser
15. Rename Linux Ldap programs
rename the ldapadd, ldapsearch, ldapmodify etc located in /usr/bin
mv ldapadd ldapadd.bak
mv ldapdelete ldapdelete.bak
mv ldapmodify ldapmodify.bak
mv ldapmodrdn ldapmodrdn.bak
mv ldappasswd ldappasswd.bak
mv ldapsearch ldapsearch.bak
16. Unset your oracle home environment variable.
unset ORACLE_HOME
17. Set your TMP, TMPDIR and TEMP environment variables.
These are located in /etc/profile
TMP="/tmp"
TMPDIR="/tmp"
TEMP="/tmp"
export TMP TMPDIR TEMP
18. Make sure you have the following X11 library XFree86-devel-4.1.0-25.i386.rpm,
which can be found of disk2 of the RedHat Advanced Linux CD v2.1. This is needed
by the linking process.
As ROOT user.
mount the cdrom.
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh XFree86-devel-4.1.0-25.i386.rpm
19. Install the application server as per the offficial install instructions. You should only have
to use mount_point/runInstaller and follow the prompts.
21. If it installs then run the interoperability patch.
22. Should be working?!?
19. To Remove an Install
WARNING : Please note that by following the processes defined
below, ALL Oracle products on the system will be cleaned
up and will not be usable. Please do not follow these steps if you do
not want to remove any Oracle Products
1. Deinstall using installer
2. Stop all running processes from the install.
3. Delete the oracle directory under /var/opt as root user
4. Delete the complete oraInventory directory
5. Delete all directories and files from ORACLE_HOME directory
6. Cleanup files under /tmp and /var/tmp as root user
8. Remove emtab in the /etc directory
9. Remove oracle files in /usr/local/bin
Hope it works.

ummm...
chmod 777 /usr/local
chmod 777 /usr/local/src
chmod 777 /usr/local/oracle
chmod 777 /usr/local/oracle/orahome1
Why on earth would you do that??? There is NO need for >that, not to mention it being a HUGE security issue. I >have an offical doc on installing and configuring 9iAS >on Linux (includes information on as 2.1 install). I >will post this evening.Your quite correct, this section could probably be trimmed from the guide. At the time it was written it was used on a development box, on a production box this would not be done. Also to get this install working when Oracle first released it we were trying anything and everything to get it working, it took around 3-4 weeks of installing, reinstalling, serveral thounsand tar's and wasted weekends. I am pretty confident the instructions will work on rhas 2.1, it probably needs to be looked at again to trim away steps that aren't needed now.
Looking forward to seeing your guide :-)

Hi,
you try following steps:--
(1) create oracle user with oinstall and dba group.
(2) chown -R oracle:oinstall /install directory(like /diask1/app/oaradata/1020).
(3)chmod 775 /disk1/app/oradata/1020.
(4)chown -R oracle:dba /disk1/app/oradata/1020.
(5)chmod 775 /disk1/app/oradata/1020
(6) watch carefully the oracle check at the time of initial install.
If anything is failed due to gcc packeage or because of some other reason then you have to rectify first.
you also need to configure /etc/sysctl.conf for kernel parameter in which you have to define shmmax size half of the ram.
you also need to run xhost + from root and then start installation once u r done with the configuration.
Regards,
MK

Error while installing Oracle 9i on Redhat9

Hi,
While running ./runInstaller on Linux 9 I get following error---
"The user is root. OUI cann't continue installation if the user is root."
I have set all the Oracle and linux parameters like- oracle_sid, path etc. I have also created one user named 'oracle' with following command--
groupadd dba
groupadd oinstall
groupadd oper
useradd -c DBA -g oinstall -G dba oracle
Thanks.

You need to be logged as oracle before you execute runInstaller.
To check which user is logged execute on of the following commands:
id
echo $USER

DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh:                % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash:      $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
     echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
     echo $DISPLAY
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
     % <full path to xclock.. see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for xclock: /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock
[oracle@staging database]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
Please help me.

Hi,
I am getting the same error when i am applying patchset to 10201 to 10204. I am using RedHat Linux 4 version and I tried set $DISPLAY=<hostname/ip address>:0.0 and export=DISPLAY

I did these steps still i am getting the following error

Edited by: satish.ygl on Oct 30, 2012 7:49 PMyou must log onto the DB Server as below (or functional equivalent)
ssh -X oracle@DB_Server
& the first & only command after logging onto the DB Server should be as below
xclock
If/when xclock fails, then OUI will fail.

10g Universal Installer kernel errors while installing on Solaris 5.10

Hi all,
I have been trying to install Oracle 10g on a Solaris 5.10 machine (32-bit) as per the official Oracle Documentation for a couple of days now. It seems that the Universal Installer fails it's pre-installation steps and throws up error at the following kernel parameters:
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 <<<<
I have followed the Oracle Documentation which says to change the kernel parameters using the resource control facility. For this I already have a project "oracle" which the user "oracle" has been assigned to:
$ id -ap oracle
uid=100(oracle) gid=100(oinstall) groups=100(oinstall),101(dba) projid=100(oracle)
Following are the snapshots from the prctl command on the current state of the kernel paramters:
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 254MB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 4GB - I expect Universal Installer check to fail for this, so I change the parameter using the resource control facility by logging in as root in a new terminal and keeping one oracle session active.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
I can see that the parameter has been set correctly when I do:
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 4.00GB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
For Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-sem-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
Also when I try to issue the command:
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-nsems -i project oracle
I get:
prctl: failed to get resource control for project.max-sem-nsems: Invalid argument
Oracle recommends I should set a value of 256.
After setting up all this I still get the following errors from Universal Installer:
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 <<<<
Now when I modify the kernel settings by editing the /etc/system file without even a reboot I'm can see all my Universal Installer Kernel checks as passed.
Not sure if I'm missing out some crucial step while setting up the kernel parameter using the resource control facility?
~ Somjit

It is bug in OUI.
OUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
It should check the kernel parameter settings using the prctl.
Check metalink note 363436.1
workaround is to
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or as You already did, change /etc/system as well.

Oinstall vs dba
