Does anyone know how to correct this? I have already gone into the gencintsh file and removed the line LD_SELF_CONTAINED. and clicked Retry again but I still get the above message in the make.log file.
Any help well appreciated.

What is the server hardware configuration???
Maybe if you have less memory it's happen: 60 hours it's a very long time but you can try to install only the software and then that the installation is finished you can create the database with the database configuration assistant.
Try and say something.
Good Luck.

Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
# /bin/isainfo -kv
and it gave me
# 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
instead of
# 32-bit i386 kernel modules
as the guide expected.
please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
thnx

First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
Example ls command
$ which ls
/usr/sbin/ls
$ file /usr/sbin/ls
It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .

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?

The SUNWfoo and SUNWfoox packages were generally merged for Solaris 10 SPARC packages. The foox would represent 64-bit binaries/libraries and may be left out of a 32-bit system install.
Since Solaris 10 only runs a 64-bit kernel on SPARC, there's no reason to supply both packages and they were merged.
For x86, 32-bit kernel mode is still supported, and the package separation exists.

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
you have to install glibc-devel-32 bit and libstdc++-devel 32 bit together with your 64 bit. both libraries required by the Oracle to solve the linking problem.

probably it will help you.
sorry, this is just my guessing of your problem.

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.

Install Oracle 11g RAC on Solaris 10

Hello,
I'm new joined DBA in my organization.
There is a requirement from a client to install Oracle 11g RAC on Solaris 10 env.
Can anybody please guide me with some doc or pdf for the steps.
Till now, i've install Oracle 11g DB on Solaris, but i'm pretty new to RAC env.
Note:
I've to do installation via commands, No GUI.
Thanks for your help.

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).

10g Universal Installer kernel errors while installing on Solaris 5.10

Hi all,
I have been trying to install Oracle 10g on a Solaris 5.10 machine (32-bit) as per the official Oracle Documentation for a couple of days now. It seems that the Universal Installer fails it's pre-installation steps and throws up error at the following kernel parameters:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
I have followed the Oracle Documentation which says to change the kernel parameters using the resource control facility. For this I already have a project "oracle" which the user "oracle" has been assigned to:
$ id -ap oracle
uid=100(oracle) gid=100(oinstall) groups=100(oinstall),101(dba) projid=100(oracle)
Following are the snapshots from the prctl command on the current state of the kernel paramters:
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 254MB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 4GB - I expect Universal Installer check to fail for this, so I change the parameter using the resource control facility by logging in as root in a new terminal and keeping one oracle session active.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
I can see that the parameter has been set correctly when I do:
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 4.00GB - deny -

The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter

$ prctl -n project.max-shm-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle

project.max-shm-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
Also when I try to issue the command:
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-nsems -i project oracle
I get:
prctl: failed to get resource control for project.max-sem-nsems: Invalid argument
Oracle recommends I should set a value of 256.
After setting up all this I still get the following errors from Universal Installer:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Now when I modify the kernel settings by editing the /etc/system file without even a reboot I'm can see all my Universal Installer Kernel checks as passed.
Not sure if I'm missing out some crucial step while setting up the kernel parameter using the resource control facility?
~ Somjit

It is bug in OUI.
OUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
It should check the kernel parameter settings using the prctl.
