Oracle 8.1.7 Solaris 2.6 Install error

I'm trying to install 8.1.7 on a Solaris 2.6 box (10K domain, with all patches installed according to readme file). The install of the client part works great, but when I go and install the server I get an error saying that make of /opt/oracle/8.1.7/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk has failed.
When looking in the install/make.log I get the following error:

which one is the easier installation for

Many thanks,

I think 6.2 is easier, just follow read me instruction, on redhat 7.0 you must run patch to downgrade glibc from 2.2 to 2.1

This problem seems some strange - this time with Solaris 10u4, from 10 containers installed on a brand new X2200 (2x cpu) only one do not output those errors, but just this one cannot install the dsee or proxy. This time the errors were from:
Installation of <SUNWxwplr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWdtdmr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWmconr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWrmwbr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWlvmr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWzebrar> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
So the machine was, too, just installed. After several hours, anoter atempt to install a zone, this time just this one, returned no errors - and the dsee installed without any complains. All configurations were for whole root zones. Used was Solaris 10u4 with the most recent patch cluster applied.

I'm not sure with the solaris sparc 64.
but the most common problem with Linux x86_64 which I assume probably similar. that type of error caused by

Please help me, a problem when install oracle 10g on the solaris 10

currently, I am installing the oracle 10g on the solaris 10, I am using DHCP and
my computer has no hostname, the following is copied from the 10g document,
When you run Oracle Universal Installer, an error may occur if name resolution is not set up. To avoid this error, before you begin installation, you must ensure that host names are resolved only through the /etc/hosts file.
To ensure that host names are resolved only through the /etc/hosts file:
1.
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is used for name resolution. You can do this by checking the hosts file entry in the nsswitch.conf file as follows:
# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep hosts
The output of this command should contain an entry for files.
2.
Verify that the host name has been set by using the hostname command as follows:
# hostname
The output of this command should be similar to the following:
myhost.mycomputer.com
currently, when I use hostname command, it is unknown, what should I do to add
my hostname? thanks

Since this is related to Solaris, you will most likely get a better/faster response on a Sun Solaris forum rather than here.

[Solaris] rebooting in installing Oracle 10g R2 after Clusterware install

Hi..
Currently I am practicing the configuration of Oracle 10g R2 RAC (Solaris x86-64) with a Clusterware 10g on VMware
With the installation of Oracle Clusterware 10g software, there's no problem and look like working well on both nodes.
But, whenever I try installing the Oracle 10g R2 with 'install the software only' option, I got unstoppable rebooting
problem on the first node, rac1.
I tried both installation mode: OUI-typed and Silent approaches. Nothing worked!!
I wanted to figure out why this problem happened, but so far I did not have any bright answer for this. I looked in
the log and error files from /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs, but there's no good answer or hint to resolve the
problem I have now.
Until now I tried 4 times of installations, but all stopped and were automatically rebooted at the same point with
almost 3% copying of software. I found some of trainers are having same problem I have now.
oracle@rac1 ~ $ crs_stat -t
Name           Type           Target    State     Host

ora.rac2.ons   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac2
ora.rac2.vip   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac2
This happens whenever I install the Oracle 10g R2 software.
Is there any unknown or hidden problem regarding CRS or something else?
Anybody has some hints or solution to this problem? If so, please let me have it ASAP.
Thank you so much.

I have gone through similar problem when installing oracle 10g in linux. You should follow the oracle installation documentation and make sure that all required OS patches and packages must be installed before starting the oracle installation. In my installation few OS packages was missing in the oracle documentation too and searching over the net solved the problem. I have installed few extra OS packages (RPM) and installed oracle successfully.

Hi,
Q) Can Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC be installed on Solaris (x86)??yes, you can Install it on Solaris X86
Q) Can the links of Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base?? As i haven't seen any doc for installing 11g RAC on Solaris, where as it was provided in Oracle 10g.yes, you need to consider Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base as base document.

How to install Oracle software remotely?
Remote Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
If you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the following steps. These steps are applicable only if your source and target machine are running Unix.
For example, you can install Oracle Software from your home from Washington, DC to a target source in California.
1. Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
2. Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
3. On the target machine, find your target machine name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname
4. On the source machine, login as a user.
5. On the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + target-machine-name
6. Become root user by typing: su (dont use -)
7. Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps ef |grep vold (if you see an entry that contains /usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is running. Then skip to Step 10.
8. If not then do the following: # mkdir p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
9. # mount F hsfs r cdrom-device /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
10. Add the following line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share F nfs o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
11. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server: # ps ef | grep nfsd
12. If you see an entry that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd a 16, then nfsd is running and skip to Step 16.
13. If nfsd is running, then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
14. If nfsd is not running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
15. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server again by typing: # ps ef | grep nfsd
16. Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
17. Now, log in to the target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name l user (not root)
18. Then log in as the root user by typing: # su
19. Go to the source machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name ,then Skip to 24.
20. If you cannot change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have an auto-mounter on your network, then create amount point by typing the following commands.
21. # mkdir /remote_products
22. # /usr/sbin/mount F nfs r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name /remote_products
23. # cd /remote_products
24. Redirect the target machine display to source machine by typing: # DISPLAY=source-machine:0; export DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
25. Start the Web Start Installer by typing: # ./installer (or whatever the installer name program is).

Recommendations - Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 Containers Logical/Local..

Dear Oracle Experts et all
I have a couple of questions for Oracle 10g RAC implementation on Solaris and seek your advice. we are attempting to implement oracle 10g RAC on Solaris OS and SPARC Platform.
1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? I was assuming that Oracle will always link it self with OS binaries and Libraries while S/W installation and hence will need an OS image/Root Disk over which it could go. However, in containers, I assume we have a single solaris installation and configuration which will thus be shared to the containers which will be further configured in it. In such situations how does Oracle instalation proceed? Do I need to look at a scenario where, the global Container/Zone will have Oracle install and this image be shared across to zones/containers accordingly? If it is so, what all filesystems from OS will need to be shared across to these zones/containers?
Additionally, even if this approach is supported, is it a recommended approach? I am unsure about the stability and functionality of Oracle in such cases and am not able to completly conceptualize. However, I assume there could be certain items which needs to be approprietly taken care off. It will help if you could share observations from your experiences.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?
Our requirement is to have the above mentioned multiple Oracle installations spread across two (2) seperate H/W platforms,say Node A and Node B, and configure our Cluster Solution to behave as active-passive across Node A and Node B. In other words, I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. I will configure one database each for each of these Oracle S/W installation (with an idea not to have Clusterware between clustering solution VRTS/SunCluster and Oracle installation, if it works). Now I will run 3 databases thus on each of these nodes. If any downtime happens on any one of the nodes, say Node A, I will fail all oracle databases and S/W accordingly to the alternate available node, Node B in this case, using native clustering solution and I will want the database to behave as it was behaving earlier, on Node A. I am not sure though if I will be able to bring the database up on Node B when resources in OS perspective are failed over.
we want to use Oracle 10g RAC Release 2 EE on Solaris 10 OS latest/one before the latest release.
Please share your thoughts.
Regards!

1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? My understanding is that RAC in a Zone (Container) is not supported by Oracle, and will not work anyway. Regardless of installation, RAC needs to do cluster level stuff about the cluster configuration, changing network addresses dynamically, and sending guaranteed messages over the cluster interconnect. None of this stuff can be done in a Local Zone in Solaris, because Local Zones have fewer permissions that the Global Zone. This is part of the design of Solaris Zones, and nothing to do with how Oracle RAC itself works on them.
This is all down to the security model of Zones, and Local Zones lack the ability to do certain things, to stop them reconfiguring themselves and impacting other Zones. Hence RAC cannot do dynamic cluster reconfiguration in a Local Zone, such as changing virtual network addresses when a node fails.
My understanding is that RAC just cannot work in a Local Zone. This was certainly true 5 years ago (mid 2005), and was a result of the inherent design and implementation of Zones in Solaris. Things may have changed, so check the Solaris documentation, and check if Oracle RAC is supported in Local Zones. However, as I said, this limitation was inherent in the design of Zones, so I do not see how Sun could possibly have changed it so that RAC would work in a Local Zone.
To me, your only option is the Global Zone. Which pretty much destroys the argument for having Zones on a Solaris system, unless you can host other non-Oracle application on the other Zones.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?I am not sure the term 'native' is correct. All 'Cluster' software is low level, and has components that run within the operating system. Whether this is Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster Server, or Oracle Clusterware. They are all as 'native' to Solaris as each other. They all perform the same function for Oracle RAC around Cluster management - which nodes are members of the cluster, heartbeats between nodes, reliable fast message delivery, etc.
You only need one piece of Cluster software. So pick one and use it. If you use the Sun or Veritas cluster products, then you do not need the Oracle Clusterware software. But I would use it, because it is free (included with RAC), is from Oracle themselves and so guaranteed to work, is fully supported, and is one less third party product to deal with. Having an all Oracle software stack makes things simpler and more reliable, as far as I am concerned. You can be sure that Oracle will have fully tested RAC on their own Clusterware, and be able to replicate any issues in their own support environments.
Officially the Sun and Veritas products will work and are supported. But when you get a problem with your Cluster environment, who are you going to call? You really want to avoid "finger pointing" when you have a problem, with each vendor blaming the cause of the problem on another vendor. Using an all Oracle stack is simpler, and ensures Oracle will "own" all your support problems.
Also future upgrades between versions will be simpler, as Oracle will release all their software together, and have tested it together. When using third party Cluster software, you have to wait for all vendors to release new versions of their own software, and then wait again while it is tested against all the different third party software that runs on it. I have heard of customers stuck on old versions of certain cluster products, who cannot upgrade because there are no compatible combinations in the support matrices between the cluster product and Oracle database versions.
I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. As I said before, these 3 Oracle installations will actually all be on the same Global Zone, because RAC will not go into Local Zones.

Oracle BPEL Installation in Solaris

Hi all,
Can anybody give some tips on how to install the Oracle BPEL in a Solaris environment. i did the oracle BPEL 10.1.2 installation in windows machine and did a POC.Now i want to replicate the same setup in a solaris environment and do a performance testing.
In Windows it was quite easy cince we get a Olite DB along with the BPM installation,but in solaris i am sure we need to do a seperate DB configuration.
Do i need to use the Repository creation agent to do that or can i use the scripts which i downloaded from the oracle BPM download page?
which one should i install
* the Oracle BPEL Process Manager for Oracle AS middle Tier?
or
*BPEL process manager for developers
Please let me know if i need to do any special work arounds for completing the installation.
Your response is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Subbu

Hi,
you have to install
* the Oracle BPEL Process Manager for Oracle AS middle Tier
Please take a look at the installation guide. You need a Oracle DB to run BPEL in production environment....

First of all, what's your Oracle Version?
RMAN has changed a lot since if first appeared in Oracle 8.0. Now, if you don't have any knowledge at all of recovery manager you must first take a look at the recovery manager version corresponding to your particular oracle version so you get acquainted to the concepts.
If you see the error 'rman not found ...' then it means you don't even have set the environment variables for your session, which is part of the install process. The PATH environment variable must include the $ORACLE_HOME/bin where the rman along many other oracle binaries are located.
1. Check the environment variables.
2. Specify the Oracle version
3. You can use Enterprise Manager to easy your life, but the setup procedure is subject to the oracle version you are referring to.
4. Take a look at the backup/recovery manual to get acquainted with rman concepts.
