Oracle 8i Installed (v8.1.7) on Solaris 8 IA, x86 build 10/01

I installed Oracle 8i v8.1.7 on Solaris 8. Everthing seems to have went well but when I try to start the Database using the Oracle utility dbstart I get:
$ dbstart
dbstart: not found
$ sqlplus
sqlplus: not found
I'm logged on as oracle user of course. Has anyone seen this before? I really don't know what to do. Both files are located in /d01/app/oracle/product/817 directory. Please help...
Thanks

You must set the path of oracle home directory. You can do that by modifiying the PATH Variable on Solaris.
# PATH=/oracle/bin ...
# export PATH
Note. Make sure you add the previous values in path as well.
To view the values of Path varaible use
# echo $PATH
One other thing you will have to do is that add oracle environment variables to the os user's ".profile". The most commonly env. varaibles are ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Mohsin.

Installing Weblogic Liquid data on Solaris 10 x86

Hi,
I have a Solaris SunFire V65x server on which i have installed Solaris 10 (x86 IA) operating system. I was successfully able to install Weblogic 8.1 SP2 Server on this platform. However i am unable to install WebLogic Liquid Data 1.0 on this server.
Is there a way around ?

The patches that are mentioned as requirements in the database installation guide are quite old and should all be included in the latest releases (u9 and u10), so you should be able to install oracle without access to OS support and patches. But I still want to strongly advise against this (for production). If you don't have a support subscription you may also not have a license to run solaris (you can download the software for free, but are only allowed to use it for 90 days) and even if it is possible to install and run Oracle right now, there might be a time when (db) support asks you to install certain OS patches.
So if this is for a proof of concept only, go ahead, but if you want to run this in production, better get support and licensing.

Install SUN StorEdge L280 to Solaris 10 x86

Hi, i need help with install & configure SUN StorEdge L280. I have SOLARIS 10 x86 platform on HP DL 380 g3. I need help with this. I dont understend what with this, what drivers is need... On sparc is all ok with veritas netbackup, but on x86...any help?thanks

The L280 (or HP SureStore Autoloader 718) contains a DLT7000 drive. There is no reason why the generic SCSI tape driver doesn't support these drives.
If you're asking for software to control the autoloader, a similar software like Veritas NetBackup is required. Veritas supplies a replacement driver.
Now I see why your L280 doesn't work with your HP server. The L280 requires a HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI controller. The standard SCSI interface is SE (Single Ended) or LVD (Low Voltage Differential). Neither SE nor LVD are compatible with HVD. You won't see the device and can even damage the device and/or the controller.
Get a HVD SCSI controller (Symbios SYM22802, Part-No 375-0006) or Adaptec AHA-2944UW (not AHA-2940UW which is SE!!).
The Sun labeled HP Autoloaders (StorEdge L9, L280) use HVD SCSI while the original ones (SureStore 1/9, 718) use LVD or SE SCSI.

Install Non-postscript print on Solaris 10 x86

I tried to setup a print queue on solaris 10 x86 for a Brother HL-1230 non-postscript printer which attached to Linksys EPSX3 print server parallel port 1 (L1).
The network configuration as followed:
EPSX3: 192.168.2.250
Solaris box: 192.168.2.170
/etc/hosts:
192.168.2.170 neptune
192.168.2.250 epsx3
I used the printmgr to setup my print queue. In the destination field I typed epsx23:L1 and pick up the printer drive by model number using ppd file.
I'm able to use the print queue to print text file, eg. /etc/hosts.
However, I didn't get any ouput from web browser. When I print from the PDF viewer, it complained there is no supported postscript printer.
Did I do something wrong in the setup? When I used the lpstat -p command to see the print queue status, it return nothing. Is there anything wrong with the print server daemon?
Thanks.

Hi I have one more doubt, if you can help-me.
I set PATH like this:

and work, but if I restar the machine I need do set PATH again: #PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH; export PATH.
Have any way to save this?
And I have the same problem with:

Oracle 10G installation problem, and errors on SOLARIS 10 x86

HI.
I installed the last version of oracle 10g on a x86 SOLARIS 10 system.
When the installer arrived at Configuration assistants, the window is stopping, and I can't see forward. But when I look at the installAction.log, the installation is checked as OK (?).
When I launch sqlplus, and startup inside, it is said the ora-00205 error (problem with control files), and in the end, I'm really suprised there's no the database I told the installer to create at the beginning. But should I be surprised? As I didn't see really the end of the installation, and the installer didn't propose me the PATH where to install the DB, well, I guess there's something wrong.
Could anybody tell me how to solve these problems, please?
Thank you :)

Two options:
1. Create database using DBCA - execute $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca
2. Create database manually (without DBCA)

Can't install SJAS 8.2 in Solaris 10 x86 Zone

I'm using a VPS account from a vendor running Solaris 10 on one of Suns AMD machines.
I downloaded the sjsas_pe-8_2-solaris-i586.bin and uploaded it to the server.
I logged in as myselff and su'd to root.
I then chmod +x the .bin file and executed it.
This machine has Java 5 installed on it, in /usr/java.
It also has Java 1.4.2 in /usr/j2se.
I start the install, it asks for an installation directory (I choose the default of /opt/SUNWappserver), it creates the directory and then prompts for the JDK.
This is my transcript:
The Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition components will be
installed in the following directory, which is referred to as the "Installation
Directory".To use this directory, press only the Enter key. To use a different
directory, type in the full path of the directory to use followed by pressing
the Enter key.
   Installation Directory [/opt/SUNWappserver] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
The Sun Java System Application Server requires a Java 2 SDK.
   Please provide the path to a Java 2 SDK 1.4.1 or greater.
   Recommended version is 1.4.2 or greater. [/usr/j2se] {"<" goes back, "!"
   exits}At this point I just hit enter to accept the default (/usr/j2se) and the installation just hangs. It also hanged when I told it to use /usr/java.
I ran: truss -f -o /tmp/out ./sjsas_pe-8_2-solaris-i586.bin -console
And in another window saw that it was essentially idle.

So, if I understand this correctly, you are running this installation in local zone and trying to use J2SE from the global zone, right?
This hang might have something to do with zones. Based on limited truss snippet it is hard to tell where exactly it hangs, though. One possibility is that in fact J2SE verification went through fine but the next screen is the one which asks for default server configuration, including port numbers. Before that screen is shown, installer will try to find out whether the default port numbers are free or not, so it is possible it actually hangs there.
To see if the port verification is an issue, please try running:
./sjsas_pe-8_2-solaris-i586.bin -console -noportcheck
With this option, any port verification done by installer will be skipped, so if the hang was there installation should now go through. Note that this will create your default domain using default set of port numbers, so there is a chance you'll need to change port values prior to starting the server if any of those ports are in fact in use.
Also, if installer hangs in port verification, this might point to network configuration issues, so if you also run into problems during the server startup you might need to further deal with networking. In any case, try installing as above and see if you can get further.

Install and Configure GCC on Solaris 10 X86

Cannot install GRUB or activate BE (solaris 11 x86)

Hello.
I've upraded my server from solaris express and also expanded rpool by adding then removing mirror. Now when I reboot I got just grub prompt and no any boot menu.
If I enter boot commands manually (root, bootfs, kernel$, etc), I can boot.
I have these BEs:
sergey@nas:~# beadm list

solaris-2 N      /          5.24G static 2012-10-11 23:01
But if I try to activate latest, I get:
sergey@nas:~# beadm activate solaris-2
Device node is not a slice: /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0p1
Unable to activate solaris-2.
Error installing boot files.
As my partitions are x86-like:
sergey@nas:~# zpool status rpool

still be used, but some features are unavailable.

pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions.

GRUB has the same pretension:
sergey@nas:~# installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0p1
raw device must be a root slice (not s2)
Unable to gather device information for /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0p1
So I cannot do anything to reinstall GRUB and make him to see my menu
What can I do in this situation other than full reinstall from empty disk?

Can you describe how you were able to create a root pool in a p* device?
I don't think our installer allows you to do this. See the doc link from Darren.
Currently, a ZFS root pool is only supported on a disk slice, such as c10t3d0s0.
Our disk terminology is confusing:
cntndnpn = larger fdisk partition that contains a disk and disk slices
cntndn represents whole disk
cntndnsn represents a disk slice that is required for booting in this release

Install network card on solaris 8 x86 10/1

Hi
how can I install my netwoek card on solaris 8 x86
Thank a lot

In the same way you install any other card. Plug the card in
the slot., and install the appropriate solaris driver for that
network card. May be you want to detail the problem, if this
is not you are looking for.
Thx

Veritas volume manager on Solaris 10(X86)

is it possible to install veritas volume manager on solaris 10 (x86) ?

You should check the supported operating system matrix for Storage Foundation to see what they support. But yes, Solaris x64 is supported. I don't think they support 32-bit x86.

umount partitions where installing oracle and then check perrmisions to mount point and mount back.
This work for me.

Oracle 9i install failing on Solaris 10

Oracle 9i install on Solaris 10 fails at the Database creation stage with Ora error "Out of Memory"
I have a Ultra 10 with 1GB RAM, 2GB swap and lot of space in the filesystem where I am installing Oracle
The oracle release notes asks for increased value for shmmax, shmmni etc by editing /etc/system and according to Solaris 10, it is not required as kernel dynamically allocates those values. It looks like it is NOT. How can I verify?
rcladm talks about shmmax values only with projects. How can I verify that all my applications running on a this box has a higher SHMMAX values and not on per project basis.
In older versions, sysdef could tell us the current SHMMAX values. Is there any comparable commands in Solaris 10.
I am not that comfortable with the rcladm features. Can some one show some examples.
Is anyone successful in installing Oracle9i on Solaris 10. I heard Oracle patch set 9.2.0.5 and 9.2.0.6 is certified with Solaris 10. Does it mean the original version of 9.2 does not install on Solaris 10?

'Net Configuration Assistant is failing" from installation. I tried twice and got the same problem. I tried to run 'netca' from the command line and got the same problem - Java runtime problem. I tried to install patch and could not find Oracle patches for Solaris 10 and the patches are for Solaris 9.
Does anyone have suggestion?

Solaris 8 + PHP 4.3.2 + Oracle 9i Instalation Hell

Hi, we've been trying to install PHP with oci8 in Solaris for ours.
The versions of the software we are using are:
Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
PHP 4.3.2
Apache 1.3.28
Solaris 8
We followed the directions from php.net and tried every sugestion in the oci8 manual section.
The farthes we got was full linking of apache and PHP, but when we started Apache with the ORACLE_HOME variable set to the correct directory, we got a core dump without any other message.
This is how we compiled apache + PHP
./configure with-apache=../apache_1.3.28 enable-track-vars
with-oracle=/oracle9i with-dom with-zlib without-mysql
with-oci8 without-pear
make
make install
cd ../apache_1.3.28
LDFLAGS=-R/usr/opt/csw/lib
./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
make
make install
when gdb'ing the httpd process we get
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xfe9a0660 in slrac () from /oracle9i/lib/libclntsh.so.9.0
Anyone got any pointers?

Hi,
From memory, when we were compiling PHP 4.3.x on Sol 8 SPARC (64 bit) with Apache 1.3.2x and Oracle 9iR2, there was some kind of problem during compilation (using gcc) that stopped it from correctly finding the required Oracle 9i libraries.
Again from memory, we found the workaround by Googling on the Net and then doing a search and replace in the makefile prior to compilation (but after configuration), updating entries from /lib/ to /lib32/ or similar.
Don't remember the exact details, though I hope this is enough of a pointer to be helpful.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

Solaris 10 x86 5.10 cannot install Oracle 10g (needs 5.9 or less!)

I installed the latest Solaris 10 x86 rev 5.10 and then downloaded the "New" Oracle 10g for Solaris x86 oddly but not suprisingly the "New" Oracle 10g only installs on Solaris 10 x86 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 GO FIGURE.
Seem there should be a way to fake out the software to see a different version.
Anybody know how to do this?
thanks
Phil

And another workaround that seems to work can be found here:

To quote from that page:
Oracle 10g install on Solaris 10 workaround
Quick work around for installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 (in our case on a v20z).
After creating your staging area you run the Oracle installer and get an error similar to the following

To work around this you need to edit the oraparam.ini file, in our case this is /export/ora/Disk1/install/oraparam.ini.
Edit the section
