Oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine

Hi there,
I encountered the following problem during oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine
Error encountered:
Using paramFile: /u01/Oracle/10gr2_db_sol/install/oraparam.ini

continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
Continue? (y/n) [n]
The following were the steps taken before encountering the above error
1. logged into a workstation
2. From its xterm terminal I logged to the oracle server via ssh oracle@ip
3. keyed in the following at the command prompt
DISPLAY=machine_name:0.0; export DISPLAY
4. executed the following from the command prompt
./runInstaller
Note: when executing the ./runInstaller, the preinstallation checking just hangs at Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. But the log file shows it failed during preinstallation checking as shown in Error encountered
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you
Ravindran Kanniah

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

How to install Apache Web Server with PHP on Sun Solaris Sparc machine

Hi,
We are trying to install the Apache Web Server and the PHP package on a Sun Solaris Sparc machine running on SunOS 5.8. We are having compilation problems with the source code of both these packages.
Does anybody know if there are ready solaris packages for Apache and PHP available from where we can download and install instead of source code compilation?
Or any instructions / things to watch for when installing Apache with PHP (if anybody has tried installing Apache with PHP on Sun Solaris earlier) is most welcome.
Thanks,
Harish

Apache should be bundled along with Solaris check in "/var/apache" in Solaris 8 and Solaris 9
php is available at www.php.net
I found an old document for installing PHP maybe this will help.
Cheers

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Installing PHP 3.x for Apache 1.x.x on Solaris
Introduction
This document describes how to install PHP for Apache on Solaris.
You should have Apache installed before trying to install PHP.
If you want to use PHP with MySQL then you must install MySQL first.
Before we Begin
1. These instructions assume that you have Apache installed according to instructions.
Getting PHP
1. You must be logged in as root to perform this installation.
su root
2. I save all my downloads in:
/usr/local/dist
If you don't already have one, you may need to create that directory now:
mkdir /usr/local/dist
3. You can get PHP 3.0.14 from here(www.php.net).
cd /usr/local/dist
ftp ftp.php.net
cd pub/distributions
bin
get php-3.0.14.tar.gz
bye
Installing PHP
1. We will install PHP in /usr/local/build, but use a tricky tar command
to do it in on hit from the download directory:
cd /usr/local/dist
tar xvfz php-3.0.12.tar.gz -C ../build
Compiling PHP
1. First let's get where the action is:
cd /usr/local/build/php-3.0.14
2. You now have 3 options:
* Simple PHP install without MySQL - goto step 3
* Simple PHP install with MySQL - goto step 4
* Custom PHP install - goto step 5
3. Simple PHP install without MySQL. Next, jump to step 6.
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12
4. Simple PHP install with MySQL. MySQL must be installed before you can configure PHP to use it. I recommend that MySQL should always be reachable with /usr/local/mysql. Even if you install it else where you
should create a symbolic link from /usr/local/mysql. Otherwise the compiler can have problems finding the mysqlclient library. The command
should look like this:
./configure with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql with-apache=../apache_1.3.12
Next, jump to step 6.
5. Custom PHP install. Take a look at the available configuration directives by using this command:
./configure --help
6. Now we can make the PHP executable. This may take a while.
make
7. Now we install the PHP module with:
make install
Adding the PHP Module to Apache
1. Now we have to setup Apache to include the PHP module:
cd ../apache_1.3.12
2. Re-configure Apache to use the PHP module. You should use your previous Apache configure command along with the PHP activate module directive.
You can see your previous Apache configure command by doing:
cat config.status
You can configure Apache using the previous command with the added PHP module by doing:
./config.status --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
If you used the simple Apache install from instructions the command will look like this:
./configure prefix=/usr/local/apache activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
3. Make and install Apache with PHP enabled:
make
4. We need to stop the server before installing the files:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
5. Now we can install the new binaries:
make install
6. Start apache again (now running the new php enabled version):
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Setting Up PHP
1. We have to tell Apache to pass certain file extensions to PHP. We do this in Apache's httpd.conf file.
cd /usr/local/apache/conf
2. Edit the httpd.conf file. If you do a search for php you will find a couple of commented out lines telling Apache to use the PHP module. You should uncomment them to look like this.
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
3. I prefer to use the extension .phtml, you can use whatever extension you like (even .html) by adding lines to httpd.conf like this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
Check that it Works
1. We have to restart Apache to make these changes take effect on the running server.
cd /usr/local/apache/bin
./apachectl restart
2. Apache should now be running with PHP enabled. The server version should include PHP/3.0b2.
./apachectl status
Apache Server Status for dev.synop.com
Server Version: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/3.0.12
Server Built: Oct 25 1999 00:37:07
3. Now it is time to test PHP with a page. The simplest thing to do is create a page called test.php3. My file is here. This file contains the
following text:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
4. Point your browser at this file on the virtual host which you used:
http://localhost/test.php3

Installing oracle 10g release 2 on spark solaris!! urgent help!

hi guys!
Am installing oracle 10g r2 on spark sun solaris. I did install the software without any pb, but when installing the database using dbca, I have this errors.
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpcreates
Edited my kernel parameters and in the /etc/system file, ai've added
set noexec_user_stack=1
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Space aint an issue and dont know how to over come this error!
Should ai just install the db using scripts and run the neccessary .sql scripts instead of going through dbca?
junior DBA in distress.

This appears to be because of low semaphores setting. Did you reboot your server after making the /etc/system parameter changes ?

Patch number for Oracle 8.1.7.4 on Solaries SPARC 64bit

Guys,
Oracle Version: 8.1.6.0

I would like to patch to 8.1.7.4. I need a patch number for this, I find it very difficult to search for the patch on Metalink. Would you please suggest the patch number and maybe also suggest the easier way to search for patches on Metalink.
Thanks in advance
Durbanite

Go to Metalink
Click on "Patches & Updates" tab
Click on "Simple Search"
Search by "Product and Family" and enter RDBMS Server
Choose the target release you are looking for (8.1.7.4)
Patch type => "Patchset/Minipack"

Choose the "Platform or Language" your plateform (Sun Solaris SPARC 64bits)
And finally click on Go button.
You'll get only one row as result, the patchset you are looking for actually.

Configuration assistant error with Oracle 10g 10.2.02 with Solaris 10 6/06

Hi all,
As anyone seen this a fix for this error?
I have installed Solaris 10 6/06 x86 on VMWare 5.2 which works fine.
When I attempt to install Oracle 10g 10.2.02 for Solaris x86 (released in Sept 06), the install goes fine until I get to the configuration assistant stage.
The first Net based configuration assistant fails with a Java exception which seems to be related to a Sig 11 in the libc library.
This looks like an error fixed by a patch mentioned in the release notes but the patch does not seem to be available for this version of Solaris.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated...
Regards
Anthony

Hi all,
Just to update this.
I have deselected the create database option part of the install and Oracle installs OK!
The problem is in the create database phase which I have manually done when I use the dbca program.
When I get to the create database operation of the the dbca wizard, I get a the following error "ORA-00600, internal error code, arguments [kelntf-ldminit, [146],[1],[],[],[],[],[]"
Any offers?

When is OSM 7.0 available on Sun Solaris Sparc 64 bit ?

Hi
Does anyone know when is version 7.0 of OSM will be available for download for Sun Solaris SPARC (64bit) ?
Currently, only version 6.3.1 is available from edeliver.oracle.com for Sparc 64bit, as far as I can see, I can only find "Oracle Communications Order and Service Management 6.x Media Pack".
For Linux, version 7.0 was made available on edelivery.oracle.com early this year.
Regards
Alf Hogemark

It is available now.
OSM 7.0 for Solaris Sparc 64-bit and for HP-UX Itanium were both made available on Oracle E-Delivery (www.edelivery.oracle.com) as of earlier this week.

Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM+RAC

Gurus,
Need some suggestuon on Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM and RAC option.
We have found many documents on the Oracle, HP, HP-Oracle CTC and third party web sites, but nothing that is specific to this particular combination of separate
ORACLE_HOMEs, ASM and 10g RAC CRS. It is unclear for me from the documentation how this combination of ASM and 10.2g RAC may best be installed.
The high level steps i got after reading lot of docs as follows - but i am not sure whether these are correct or not. if they are correct, can any one share their experience/notes please?
1) Install CRS
2) Install RDBMS for ASM HOME - create separater oracle home for ASM instance using OUI
3) Install RDBMS for RAC Database Home - create separater oracle home for RAC database using OUI
4) Create ASM database using DBCA -
5) Use dbca to create database.

Oracle provides 'paint by numbers' tutorials called 'Oracle By Example'. (Go to OTN, check under the Training tab)
They have one for a Windows based ASM/RAC that you might want to review. Not your specific environment, but the steps will be dag-nabbed close.
I recommend walking the path (http://otn.oracle.com >> training:OBE >> Database 10g Release 1:VMWare:Installation

Oracle 10g database installation in red hat 5

what are the packages needed for oracle 10g database installation in red hat 5?
what do you mean by yum way of installation?

Check on the release notes for your platform
This is for x86-64 Linux.. read it all, then you'll find the "6 Documentation Corrections and Additions" section you'll find the RPMs that you need
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15666/toc.htm
then go to the official doc installation of 10gR2 on x86-64 Linux
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
Yum is a package management tool. This is what you'll be using to install the RPMs. But first you'll have to setup the Yum repository, usually what I do is stage the DVD media on the server then make it as a repository. If ever there's a specific (higher) version that I need then I just pull it on the RedHat Network.
There are a lot of HOWTOs about Yum. You may read on this link http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/

Oracle 10g client installation on OpenVMS 8.3 Itanium

I am trying to perform the installation of Oracle 10g client installation on OpenVMS 8.3 Itanium. I am getting the OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) window up and as soon as I click the "next" button it errors. The error is:
SEVERE: OUI-10207:There is not enough disk space on the OUI swap area /dsa50/temp/OraInstall2007-06-05_06-19-23PM. Please make at le
ast 9MB of space available and retry.
The disk for the oracle installation temp location and home location are in different directories on the same ODS-5 formated disk. The disk has approximately 251711296 free blocks.
The trace.log located in the <oracle_home> area shows the following:

in ssGetVolumeFreeSpace:before getFreeSpace:DSA50
Vol name is DSA50
Disk name is [.DSA50]
Disk=, Free blocks = 3362
in ssGetVolumeFreeSpace:after getFreeSpace:3362
returning from ssGetVolumeFreeSpace
The "temp" disk is DSA50.
Has anyone seen this issue with installation of the client on a large disk?
Are there any suggestions on what to do to correct this issue?

SEVERE: OUI-10207:There is not enough disk space. This error may be present at the Open VMS Itanium platform at it is due to bug 5981203 "OUI CALCULATES AVAILABLE DISK SPACE WRONG" and bug 5580279 "OUI FAILS WITH OUI-10207 ERROR". It is fixed in 10.2.0.3.0
As a workaround, use a logical diskname or the volume name and not the physical device name

Installation of Oracle 9.0.1 on Sun Solaris 5.8

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle9i Enterprise Edition (9.0.1) on Sun Solaris.
I started the installer and the installation proceeded fine. When the installer asked for the second CD, I aborted the installation as the second cd was not available to me at that time.
After obtaining all the 3 installation CDs, I started the installer once again and the installation GUI does not show up. This is what I get
$ ./runInstaller
$ Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/jre. Please wait..
This ".... Please wait..." prompt remains for ever.
Could somebody please give a pointer on what needs to be done to get the GUI running?
TIA,
Babu

Hi harsh
I'm no guru of Linux,
but heard somewhere u just cant make 9i to work with 128 MB RAM it needs at least 512.
u can refer a document
