Oracle 8.1.7.0.1 on RedHat Linux 7.3

Hi all,
I have successfully installed Oracle 8.1.7.0.1 on RedHat Linux 7.1 about 4 times now, and it works just fine. However, I upgraded to RH 7.3 and I get so far with the Oracle install - when I apply the setup_stubs.sh patch, my svrmgrl binary in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory dissapears even though the output messages are OK - I am then left only with svrmgrl0...this applies to other files as well, wrap0, sqlplus0 etc.
I have loaded the 4 libraries to make Oracle compatible with RH 6.2, but this is the first time the patch has failed to produce an updated svrmgrl binary (works fine on RH 7.1). I have edited by .bash_profile just like every other time, so I do not know what is wrong :((
Does anyone have any ideas on this one? It is very weird.
Thanks
-keith

You asked for this behaviour by raising the transaction isolation level to the serializable transaction isolation level.

  • Difficulty installing Oracle 8i 8.1.1.6 on Redhat Linux 7

    Hi,
    I am having difficulty installing Oracle 8i 8.1.1.6 on Redhat Linux 7. The installation process runs well and the last stage when the Database Configuration Assistant is running. It successfully copies the database files but when it reaches 80% (Initisialing database) it freezes and does not go any further. Does anybody know what good be going wrong here.

  • Installing Oracle 9i (version 9.0.1) on RedHat Linux 7.2

    Hi All,
    I've been trying to install Oracle 9i version 9.0.1 on RedHat
    Linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10. This RH 7.2 is running on my
    Compaq Armada M700 laptop that has 800MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM.
    I have 10GB of diskspace on this laptop.
    Someone in this group posted a howto on how to install Oracle 9i
    on RedHat Linux 7.2 but for some reasons, Oracle Universal Installer
    still hangs at 74% of the installation. Here is what I did:
    1) Install RH 7.2 on the laptop. I also make sure that make, ar,
    ld, nm and C for unix got installed when I installed RH 7.2.
    I also verify by using the command "which make", "which ar",
    "which ld" and "which nm" and they are also in the /usr/bin
    directory. I also make the /tmp partition to be 800MB and
    the swap file to be 500MB,
    2) Modify the /etc/hosts file. This part is easy. I can ping
    both the hostname, FQDN and the IP address of the laptop from
    both locally and remotely (tested with SSH connection),
    3) Go to blackdown.org and download jdk118_v3
    4) Uncompress and put it in the /usr/local/jdk118_v3 directory,
    5) Make a softlink ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
    6) Download and install package:
    rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
    7) In /proc/sys/kernel/sem file, I modify the third column from 32 to 128,
    8) Download and install package:
    rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
    9) Download Linux9i_Disk1.cpio, Linux9i_Disk2.cpio and Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
    to my laptop hard-drive,
    10)Run cpio -idmv < Linux9i_Disk1.cpio (for 2 and 3 well),
    11)Create a user account "oracle". This "oracle" account belongs to
    group "oracle". Furthermore, I also create a directory /oracle
    and change the owner and group permission to account "oracle"
    12)Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
    13)The installer will ask you to run a started script as root ,
    you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus (
    if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE )
    and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter,
    after it is ended continue with the installer (done),
    14)It asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java (done)
    15)Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : (I leave blank here)
    16)Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
    /oracle/orainventory
    From what the poster said, it should work; however, it did NOT work
    for me. I've tried and tried but no avail. I have plenty of disk
    space so I don't think space is an issue here.
    Please help.

  • Why can't i start my oracle 9.2.0.1.0 under Redhat linux 8.0??

    When i installing oracle, after copying the files, it telled me "install successfully" , but when it in the procedure: "Linking Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0", it stop and auto exit.
    But I think i should have installed finish. So I try to start it. As below:
    sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect / as sysdba
    ERROR:
    ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file
    Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Additional information: 9925
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    How can I start it?
    Is that because I hadn't set the value of "/proc/sys/kernel/sem" before I install oracle? It's original value is "250 3200 32 128", I don't know what it should be under Redhat Linux 8.0.
    Can anybody help me?
    thanks.

    I followed the directions here
    http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
    Using this I was able to get 9201 installed on both SuSE8.1 and RedHat8.0.
    On RH8, You have to hand modify the ins_ctx.mk per his instructions and up the value in /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax per his instructions. I did not hit the binutils issue. Other failures are probably missing rpms, as he describes.

No harm, your database created just fine, but probably didn't configure listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, and tnsnames.ora. Just run netca and finish the tns confiiguration.

  • Oracle 8.1.6 Installation fail on RedHat Linux 6.1

    The machine was running 8.1.5 on RedHat 6.1 (Sure, the installation was painful at that time, I downloaded jre1.6.5 & linux_81501patch_ee.tgz to make it works).
    The problem now, is upgrading 8.1.5 to 8.1.6. Since so many people told migration is painful, so I decided to export database, remove 8.1.5, install 8.1.6 and import database.
    After remove all the oracle files (I believe), I ran "runInstaller", after select "Custom" and click "Next". It immidiate shows following error:

  • Oracle 9IAS 1.2.2.0 on Redhat Linux 7.1

    Hi!
    First of all. Sorry for the long post
    I've tried to install this version of 9iAS without success.
    On the same machine I've installed the 1.2.0.1 version using the usual instructions for this distro (compat libs + ibm jre) and it worked fine.
    Now I have a problem totally different from what I've seen on this forum. When the installer ends analyzing dependencies it begins with "executing pre-requisites" and then the installer's window closes. Taking a look into the oraInventory log files I've found this (logs/oraInstall.err)
    java.io.IOException:

    Change the listener port inside of your httpd.conf file. Then re-run ssodatan script. If you run ssodatan without any options, it will show you the required parameters along with an example. Follow its lead...

  • Successful installation of 8iEE 8.1.7 on RedHat linux 7.2 but no luck with Oracle 9i

    Hi All,
    I've successfully installed Oracle8i EE version 8.1.7 on RedHat
    Linux 7.2. However, I have NOT had much luck installing Oracle
    9i version 9.0.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2. I am wondering if anyone
    in this forum has any luck installing Oracle 9i on RedHat Linux
    7.2. I am running Linux kernel 2.4.7-10.
    Now I am not trying to start a shouting match here; however, it
    seems to me that a person with any common sense would not run
    Oracle database on a Windows platform. Instead of running it
    on Windows platform, one would be much better off running it on
    Linux platform. I am currently Oracle EE 8.1.7 on an dual-Intel
    processor 266MHZ with 512MB of RAM with Linux as the Operating
    System. I have to say that the performance of the box is really
    solid. At the same time, I am also running Oracle EE 8.1.7 on
    an identical hardware system with Win2K server and I have to say
    that the performance system is really pitiful on this Win2k server.
    The windows box can only 1 instance at a time. If I try to have
    two instances running at the same time, the windows box just comes
    to a screeching halt. In contrast, the Linux box really rocks. In
    a testing environment, I have 3 instances running at the same time
    and the linux is barely breaking a sweat. I am getting maximum
    performance out of the linux box because I recompile the linux kernel
    to optimize the box to run Oracle database.
    Having said that, as an Oracle DBA newbie (with less than six months
    of Oracle DBA experience, the last ten years as a Cisco/Unix Engineer),
    I find it fascinating that Oracle is only certified to run on SUSE (may
    be I am wrong and someone can correct me on this one) when RedHat is
    probably the dominant Linux distro. It took three days to get Oracle 8i
    version 8.1.7 to install on RedHat Linux 7.2. Why Oracle is slowed to
    support Linux RedHat is something I just don't understand.
    OK, enough of venting my frustration, if anyone has successfully installed
    Oracle 9i EE version 9.0.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2, please share your knowledge.
    In the mean time, if anyone interested in obtaining instructions on howto
    install Oracle 8i version 8.1.7 on Redhat Linux 7.1/7.2, send me an email
    at [email protected] and I will send the instructions. The instructions
    are written specifically for "windows dummies" so it is very to read and
    follow. If you have been Unix for a long time, there will be instructions
    in there that are so easy some of you may ask why put those in there in the
    first place. My response would be: "windows dummies".
    Regards,
    Michael (david)

    I very much agree with you Oracle is working very much better on Unix/Linux than Windows BUT in many cases you are obliged to use windows ( in Case that My company high managment enforce it ) , I have installed 9i on Windows and Linux , I am herunder including the full details :
    ========================================================================
    Installing Oracle 9i on Linux
         Linux : Redhat 7.2
         Oracle : 9i Server EE 9.0.1.0.0
         RAM Used : 256 M Ram
         Hard Disk : IDE RAID
         Linux Kernel : 2.4.4-10
         JDK : Blackdown jdk118_v3 => downloaded from www.blackdown.org
         All shell here is the Bash shell ( Bourne again shell )
    1.     To run a shell script over Linux , just drag the shell file from the file manager and drop it to a shell window
         Be sure to have swap space of 400 M or more
         If the systems stop responding for some time , leave it , it will continue
         Be sure to make a stage area for the CDs # 2 , 3 only because you will start from the CD 1 but after going in the installation the CDROM freezes and refuses to open door to replace CD ,, in this case you will switch to the last 2 CDs from the stage area
         Make sure you have the following executables at /usr/bin : MAKE , AR , LD , NM , C for Unix that is installed during Linux installation from the distribution media
    Steps ( Root User ) :
    1.     be sure to have to have your server domain is like hostess.com.eg and you can be able to ping it
    &#61607;     open /etc/hosts
    &#61607;     add a line as follows ( for instance ) :
    &#61607;     192.168.0.11 hostess.com.eg hostess
    &#61607;     ping hostess.com.eg
    &#61607;     ping hostess
    &#61607;     ping 192.168.0.11
    &#61607;     be sure to have a replay for all of them
    2.     install JDK inside the /usr/local directory => after downloading the JDK you can easily decompress it but just clicking at it using the GUI
    3.     get to the / prompt
    4.     type ln s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
    5.     download binutil RBM from Redhat for version 7 of Linux to downgrade binutils for Linux 7.2 or you will encounter an error at the third CD set
    6.     download it from : ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/en/os/i386/redhat/rpms/binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
    7.     run it as follows : rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
    8.     change to /proc/sys/kernel
    9.     type cat sem
    10.     you will get : 250 32000 32 128
    &#61607;     250 => SEMMSL
    &#61607;     32000 => SEMMNS
    &#61607;     32 => SEMOPM
    &#61607;     128 => SEMMNI
    11.     you need to have the SEMOPM to be 128 , to do so , locate the file called sem open it replace the value of 32 with 128
    12.     type again cat sem to be sure of taking the required effect
    13.     after the installation ends just re-install the 7.2 utils again as follows :
    14.     rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
    15.     you can find the last RPM at the 7.2 CD set
    16.     after downloading the Oracle files from the net you need to decompress it as follows (one step) :
    &#61607;     zcat linux9i_disk1.cpio.gz | cpio idmv
    &#61607;     zcat linux9i_disk2.cpio.gz | cpio idmv
    &#61607;     zcat linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz | cpio idmv
    17.     you can decompress them at 2 steps as follows :
    &#61607;     gunzip linux9i_disk1.cpio.gz
    &#61607;     gunzip linux9i_disk2.cpio.gz
    &#61607;     gunzip linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz
    &#61607;     cpio idmv < linux9i_disk1.cpio
    &#61607;     cpio idmv < linux9i_disk2.cpio
    &#61607;     cpio idmv < linux9i_disk3.cpio
    18.     Now you have 3 directories , have care when Burning them to CD because you need to take care of paths
    19.     if you have downloaded the files via a Windows machine and have a MKS installed over it you can easily invoke Visual Pax and decompress the files at one go using the GUI program
    20.     log on to Linux as Root and run commands in the file commands.txt
    21.     log on as user Oracle to be sure that its created
    22.     log on as root again
    23.     get to the directory of /home/oracle
    24.     enable showing the system files
    25.     open the file of .bash_profile
    26.     add the accompanied bash file contents at the end of it to set the environment variables
    27.     log on as user Oracle
    28.     open shell and type set and be sure that environment variables are set correctly
    29.     open shell and change to the cdrom by typing cd /mnt/cdrom => Linux 7.2 is an auto mounting OS so you at no need to mount the CD drive prior to using it and if you need to mount it just type : AS ROOT
    &#61607;     mount t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom /cdrom
    &#61607;     this is surly after creating a directory at / called cdrom
    30.     Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
    31.     the installer will ask you to run a started script as root , you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus ( if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE ) and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter ,, after it is ended continue with the installer
    32.     if asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java
    33.     Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : oinstall
    34.     Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
    35.     base directory : /oracle/orainventory

  • Oracle 8i Installation on Redhat Linux AS 3.0

    Hi guys,
    I am just doing some home work before installation of Oracle 8i Enterprise server on Redhat Linux AS 3.0. Before I started my work on this, I planned to install 8i on AIX 5L, which was a bad idea. Because 8i being a 32bit db and 5L being 64bit kernel, and also this combination is not supported. But with little tweeking and installing few patches, things should work.
    Anyway, I would like to know, if any of you have installed 8i on RH Linux AS 3.0, and do any of you think I need to worry about 32 & 64 bit? I am installing this combination on Compaq PL 6500 server, will there be any problem, because PL 6500 is 32 bit processor? Please pass on any information which can help me in a proper installtion, Thanks in Advance

    Joel,
    I am new to this company. This is my first year here, from last one and half year my company was trying to migrate from Informix to Oracle. After I joined I came to know that my predecessor started the project on 8i and left the project half way thru. Then I took over the project and completed the migration from Informix to Oracle. My company spent awful lot of money on this project due to lack technical know how and mislead by the technology staff who has no knowledge of oracle or UNIX (they are bunch of old NCR and Cobol guys here). So bottom line is if I submit a proposal to my boss of upgrading from 8i to 9i or 10g, which I will, probably won't be happy to see. But on the other hand we will loose support and left with no choice, I can only say that I am sorry for them.
    Anyway, this is just a part of disorganized IT shop we have here, it needs a major facelift, and I am just pushing one at a time. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate.

  • Installation of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3

    Hi,
    I am going to Install of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3, rigth now i am running oracle 9i on windows platform. I need following things:
    -I want to export all my data from oracle 9i on windows. For this what is the best way should i transport my tablespace and install oracle 10g on linux and import them after creating db or should i simply export and import it from there.
    -Is there any issues that i should look at before i transfer my database.
    -We are a Industrial Laboratory and use scientific notation in our database. Would this import export can takecare of all the things or should i set some character set setting before import/export.
    -Any thing else if you thing that i should take care.
    Thanks & Regard
    Rashid K.K

    You cannot use transportable tablespace. Platform independent transportable tablespace run only on newer versions (10g). You have to create the tablespaces on you linux machine and than exp/imp (full=y).

  • Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

    Hi everyone,
    As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
    RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
    written by Werner Puschitz
    (http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
    attempts failed with identical symptoms:
    - the installer asks for Disk 2
    - after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
    kernel is writing messages similar to these in
    /var/log/messages:
    Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
    Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
    Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
    Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
    an explanation so far.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ljubomir Buturovic

    Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

    I am new to this company. This is my first year here, from last one and half year my company was trying to migrate from Informix to Oracle. After I joined I came to know that my predecessor started the project on 8i and left the project half way thru. Then I took over the project and completed the migration from Informix to Oracle. My company spent awful lot of money on this project due to lack technical know how and mislead by the technology staff who has no knowledge of oracle or UNIX (they are bunch of old NCR and Cobol guys here). So bottom line is if I submit a proposal to my boss of upgrading from 8i to 9i or 10g, which I will, probably won't be happy to see. But on the other hand we will loose support and left with no choice, I can only say that I am sorry for them.
    Anyway, this is just a part of disorganized IT shop we have here, it needs a major facelift, and I am just pushing one at a time. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate.

  • Installation of Oracle 9i on Redhat Linux 7.3

    Hi.
    I'm trying to install oracle 9i on Redhat Linux an facing some problems. To start with I had no problem in installing and creating the database, The listener.ora and tsnname.ora files created are similar to what i have on windows 2000( Since i was not able to make oracle working on linux, i tried installing on windows, so as to check and create database for temporary work.), But when i go to the console and type the commands: sqlplus /nolog it says bash: sqlplus:command not found.
    2. When i try clicking sqlplus executable file in the bin directory, i get a message that 'Could'nt find the program'.
    3. Where can i find the bash_profile file.
    4.I'm able to run the database configuration assistant and create new databases without any error.
    I would appreciate if some one can help me out.Also are there any special commands, for this is my first experience on linux.
    Thanks
    Pranav

    If your shell is bash (which I guess it is) you need to set the environment variables either per user in a file called ~/.bash_profile (probably /home/oracle/.bash_profile) or globally by making a file /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
    you can list .files with ls -la
    for now you can either type /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus or type
    export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin
    to add oracle to the path in your current session
