Oracle 10g Installation on Red Hat Linux

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 10g (Downloaded from Oracle Site) in a Linux Installation. I have checked with the following command about the Linux Version
# cat /etc/issue and the output is :
Red Hat Linux Release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
Then I am giving #uname -r and the output is
2.4.2-2
Now Oracle Installation Guide for 10g for Linux is saying that
if the errata level is less than 25 on x86 system then install latest Kernel Updates.
Please Let me know from where I can get the Latest Kernel Updates appropriately and what I need to do to put that patch into Linux so that I can smoothly install the Oracle 10g.
Thanks and regards.
Keshav Tripathy

Jer is absolutely right.... just changing the values in oraparm.ini to reflect your kernel distribution will work for you.
For example the file contains:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3
now to add your linux into it just check your version by issuing the command #uname -r
in my case the output was "2.4.20-8smp". I just appended redhat before this value and entered in the oraparm.ini file.
The new ini file looks like:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,redhat-2.4.20-8smp
[Linux-redhat-2.4.20-8smp-optional]
TEMP_SPACE=80
SWAP_SPACE=150
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS=256
Now you are all set to install. I assume that all other pre-requisites have been fulfilled.

How to install Oracle 10g on to Red Hat Linux 5 Server

I'm new to both Linux and Oracle. I've been working on an installion of Oracle 10g on a Red Hat Linux 5 Server for about 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading about installing Oracle on a Linux environment. I finally got to the installation portion and the Oracle Installer displayed a message that I had to have Red Hat 4 or 4 Enterprise to continue.
How can Install Oracle 10g onto a Red Hat 5 Linux Server"? Is there an option that I can use to bypass the OS checking?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to access metalink without a valid account. You could then just try to skip preinstall requisites with this clause:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or this method:
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini so this file reads:
After
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
also, make sure you have these packages installed:
# rpm -ivh gcc-c++-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm gcc-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.5-12.i386.rpm
glibc-headers-2.5-12.i386.rpm libgomp-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm

Oracle 9i installation on Red Hat Linux 9 URGENT

hi,
I live in london, I have tried a lot to install Oracle 9i Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 9, but couldn't do it, can any one help me to install it, I am ready to pay and visit any place in london for that purpose in the evening, if any one can help my mobiel number 07832 077672

If you are only trying to learn, I would recommend either Fedora FC4 or OpenSuSE 10, and I would recommend installing ORacle Express Edition if you do not need advanced Oracle stuff (or you are not learning for OCP).
Again, use Werner's excellent site - http://www.puschitz.com or Ivan Kartik's site - http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html to get good instruciton on installation.
If you want a free version that is as close to a supported Linux as legally possible, consider using WhiteBoxLinux.org, TaoLinux.org or CentOS.org linux. These are clones of RedHat Enterprise (the one that is supported). Or you could contact Novell.com and ask for an evaluation kit for SLES9.

Hi Terry,
I initially experienced the same "connection refused" message as
you from xlib when performing a local installation using GNOME.
My problem was to do with logging on to X as root (to mount the
CDROM) and then switching to the oracle account to do the
install.
If I logged to X as oracle I didn't need to change the default
DISPLAY value of :0 .

Installing Oracle 9i database on Red Hat Linux 7.1

Hi,
I have downloaded Linux9i_Disk1.gz, Linux9i_Disk2.gz and Linux9i_Disk3.gz for installing Oracle 9i database on Red Hat Linux 7.1. I unzipped those files to Linux9i_Disk1.cpio, Linux9i_Disk2.cpio and Linux9i_Disk3.cpio. What is the command to extract these .cpio files to get all the associated files that are archived? Can anyone help me on this?
Warm Regards,

Thanks a ton. I am sorry for not checking the download page since the download was done by another person.Thanks again.

Oracle 8i/9i and Red Hat Linux version

Hi,
Does anyone know, which is the earliest version of Red Hat Linux
supported by Oracle 8i or 9i?
Regards

Hi,
I downloaded the 9i, the installation started ok and I was
able to complete the install procedure, but a few things did not
go as I planned:
1.- The installation MUST be run on the console X, and cannot
be run from a remote terminal (odd!).
2.- On a 2-CPU machine the installation didn't install all the
files for the sistem to start.
3.- During a second attempt the installer issued an error
regarding a compilation problem.
Can anyone help me, I can't get the installer running without
problems.

Oracle 8i Internet for Red Hat Linux

Hi all,
Can any one help me on this. I have setting up Red Hat Linux 6.2 and JRE 1.1.6v5-glibc also installed on /usr/local/jre directory. But when I try to run "runInstaller" from the oracle cdrom. I have the following error:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre Please wait ...
Error in Create OUIProcess(): -1
:Bad address
Any one can tell me what is the problem.
Thank you

Let me try again. I was to fast with the enter key. There is a known bug with the installer. The work around is to use the runInstall.sh that is in the subdirectory /install/linux. If you have your environment variables setup correctly this should work, also you need a minimum of 128 meg of ram on the machine.
Hope this helps.

BI 4.1 installation in Red hat Linux 6.5

Hi Experts,
we are planning to have one cluster environment in Red hat Linux 6.5.
1) Two nodes in cluster ( two red hat Linux 6.5 servers)
2) 1 server with Websphere as a web application server.
From the last two years i am completely working on windows environment. hence i would like to know few details about installing BI 4.1 in RHL 6.5.
What are the prerequisites to install Bi 4.1 in RHL 6.5, Even though it mentioned in installation guides, i would request someone to share there real time expertise.
I would like to have split deployment in the webapplication server ( Websphere ).I have performed the split deployement with ref of the below document which was created by James Rapp Improving the User Experience in SAP BI Platform - BI 4.1 and Apache 2.4 Supplement
it completely talks about tomcat+ Apache.
is it possible to perform the websphere + Apache split deployment.
Kindly share your expertise.

Hi Prasad,
Below are my thoughts on your queries.
1. Check Installing SAP BI 4.1 SP01 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x Step-by-step. This is an amazing blog by Brian. Hope you find it useful.
2. You cannot do a split deployment with Apache and Websphere. However you can do it with IHS (Web server provided by IBM) plus websphere. If you are using Websphere Network deployment version, IHS must be installed by default. For performing the split deployment, check https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000171102014E/sbo41sp3_bip_wapd_unix_en.pdf See section 4.4.2 on page 27
Hope it helps.

ORACLE 8I Installation in Red Hat 6.0

Two questions about the installation:
1. How do I set up the Kernel parameters such as SHMMAX, SEMMNI in the RedHat Linux 6.0? This is the first requirement in ORACLE 8I installation.
2. How do I mount the CD? When I use mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom to mount the CD,
all the filenames are in upper case.

I would suggest checking out the RedHat site as they have several whitepapers/HOWTO's that will step you through rebuilding your kernel. Search on "Custom Kernel".
As far as the files names showing up in all caps....I have not seen this before and off the top of my head I'm not sure what could cause this problem. Good luck!
