Hi,
- Refer the installation guide for userid and space requirements (pre-installation steps).
- Invoke runInstaller with full CD mount path as oracle user from home directory
Ex: /cdrom/cdrom0/runInstaller (instead of cd /cdrom/cdrom0; ./runInstaller)

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....

Oracle 10g Installation nn solaris 10 X86

I have installed Oralce 10.1.0.3 in Solaris 10 X86 using the procedure given without creating the database.(Installing the binaries)
Hardware:Sun fire V20z.
When i tried creating Database using DBCA,it was throwing lots of error.
The errors are:
1) ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
2) ORA-03114: not connected to oracle
3) ORA-27100: shared memory realm already exists.
Oracle says nothing to do with Oracle 10g,Check the OS.
Any help on creating a database in Solaris 10 x86 Oracle 10.1.0.3
Thanks in Advance.

check your /etc/system and init.ora
did you set up kernel parameters for oracle in /etc/system?
something like this:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=4096
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1000
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
the interesting parameter is
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100 - that is maximum amount of oracle processes system can have, if you have something like processes=150 in init.ora, database won't start.
read oracle installation manual on how to set these parameters for a particular machine and database

Oracle 10g installation in an SPARC 64 bit Solaris 10 server

Good morning,
I'm trying to install Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition in a server with Solaris 10 as operating system. When I run the oui, the prerequisites part is passed but the installation gives me an error telling that the installer can't write in the /tmp directory. Nevertheless, I have writing grants and space enough in that directory, in fact the installer writes the installAction.log in this directory. So I don't understand which can be the problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mabel

It could be you don't have enough free space on the tmp dir.
Check this point from the
Oracle® Database Installation Guide. 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit). Part Number B15690-02
If you determined that the /tmp directory has less than 400 MB of free disk space, then identify a file system with at least 400 MB of free space and set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables to specify a temporary directory on this file system:
1. Use the df -k command to identify a suitable file system with sufficient free space.
2. If necessary, enter commands similar to the following to create a temporary directory on the file system that you identified, and set the appropriate permissions on the directory:
$ su - root
# mkdir /mount_point/tmp
# chmod a+wr /mount_point/tmp
# exit
3. Enter commands similar to the following to set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ TMP=/mount_point/tmp
$ TMPDIR=/mount_point/tmp
$ export TMP TMPDIR
C shell:
% setenv TMP /mount_point/tmp
% setenv TMPDIR /mount_point/tmp

Oracle 11g client installation on Solaris in non GUI mode

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way i can install Oracle 11g client on Solaris 10 machine in non GUI mode (ie. i want to do it from a command based terminal)
Thanks
Anup

Hi Anup
You have two ways to install it
1) Client installation without response file
Please Refer to Doc ID 885643.1
2) With Response file
Refer to the document available in Document library
Document Oracle® Database Client Installation Guide
11g Release 2 (11.2) for Solaris Operating System
Note: from 11gR2 onwards you can create a response file from GUI also and then use it later on for silent installation.
Hope this is helpful for You

SUNWsprox package with solaris 10 for Oracle 10g Installation....

Hi
I am in problem with a Solaris 10 package "SUNWsprox - Sun workshop Bundled 64-bit make library" for Oracle 10g Installation. I checked the CDs (In the /.../products) but did't found this packege. Can any one tell me please can I go without this package or where I found this package...Please Its very URGENT for me....
Thanks
Mohammed Tanvir

Hi...
I had the same issue, but found out that the SUNWsprox was replaced by SUNWsprot. The OUI 10.1 Release 2 will 'pass' as the doco in the Oracle quick install guide is wrong (as well as 10g Application Server).
The only way to lay a 10g Release database on Solaris 10 is to lay the software doen only, then cd in the .../bin directory, step your Rdbms ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and of course the DISPLAY (is X-windowing into the server), and run dbca manually. Oracle 10g is a bit buggy.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)
I have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
