Problems Installing Oracle 10GR2 & kernel parameters

Hi there,
I'm trying to install Oracle 10G on a new Solaris10 machine. After extensivley reading the oracle install guide and proceeding my install failed with an out of memory error.
Ive read the posts regarding many similar problems and to set the kernel parameters in /etc/system. My question for the experts is:
1). Is there a problem with the oracle install scripts and it not recognising the new features in Solaris?
2). Is there a more deep-rooted problem with oracle and solaris?
ANY help/advice would be much appreciated. There are hundreds of posts like this on the web and surely someone must have the answer? I mean surely oracle did not hack /etc/system to get their install to work did they??

It IS a terrible experince to install oracle 10g on solaris 10. Tell us your system configuration and your installation step. For I have installed three times and each time a different problem. Suggest you go to oracle forum to get more help.

hi rajesh,
thanks for your quick reply. but in sun solaris 10 do we need to change the entries in /etc/system.
as per
Oracle® Database

Note: In Solaris 10, you are not required to make changes to the

Problem installing Oracle 9iAS on Win2000

Hi everybody,
I have problem installing Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2.a on Win2000.
The process instalation stops when the instalation bar shows 100% complete and copying welcome.html . After that, other processes should start, but it does not happen.
I have installed in an other machine an Oracle 8.1.7 release 3 and I set up parameters as described into documentation. I didn4t applied any patch because I was using release 3 already.
I have 1GB RAM , 1.5 Gb of virtual memory , 2 processors 1,3 Ghz,
and 10 Gb on HD target on both servers(Database and Application Server).
Does anybody have a sugestion ?
Thanks.

Kevin, I don't which version of 9iAS you are trying to install, but as far as I can tell no 9i versions of the application server are certified against Windows 2003, only 10g is certified against Windows 2003. So what's probably happening is the installer doesn't recognize Windows 2003 and thinks it's a non-patched version of Windows 2000. You should either install Windows 2000 SP1 (minimum) or install Oracle 10gAS.

Problems Installing Oracle 8i on Gateway laptop W/ 1.6 GHz CPU

I'm having problems installing Oracle 8i on a Gateway 600X with a 1.6 GHz CPU and Windows 2000 Professional. The Install/DeInstall screen appears, I click Install/Deinstall, the screen disappears, the hourglass disappears a couple seconds later, and the the install ends without any messages. I tried installing on slower machines and the software seems to install correctly. Is there an issue with Intel's new Mobile Pentium 4 processors or Gateway's laptops?
Thanks,
Mike

have a look in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory. If the init<ORACLE_SID>.ora file has remote_login_password=exclusive then you should also have a file called orapw<ORACLE_SID>. If you haven't, then create one by running "orapwd file=orapw<ORACLE_SID> password=internal entries=5".
This has worked for me in the past, hope it helps.

Hi,
You got these errors because runInstaller can not start the GUI. There are 2 solutions, you can choose one:
1. logout Gnome/Kde, login as oracle user, and run runInstaller again.
2.open a new root terminal,
a) run "xhost +" as root.
b) run "su - oracle" switch to oracle
c) run "export DISPLAY=:0.0"
d) then run "./runInstaller" again.
cheers.

Install Oracle 10gR2 on Windows x64

Is this possible to install Oracle 10gR2 on Windows 2008 x64 ?
I though that there aren't any difference between 2003 and 2008, but during reading this presentation:
http://www28.cplan.com/cbo_export/PS_S291788_291788_176-1_FIN_v2.pdf (login: cboracle pass: oraclec6) I saw that installation on Windows 2008 is "PLANNED"?! Can someone explain more?

tutus wrote:
So what thas mean planned?You'd have to ask Christian Shay (apparent author of the document) but given that the document is nearly two years old and 10g is now entering 'sustaining' support without having been certified on Win 2008, I'd guess it means their "plans" changed.

ORA-27102: out of memory. Faild to install oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10

Hi, I want to install oracle on my solaris machine. I have 2.5G RAM and more than 5G swap file. But the ORA-27102: out of memory error occurred at installing the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant step(Copying database files Creating and starting Oracle instance).
The only warnings bellow:
Checking kernel parameters

Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: The kernel parameters do not meet the minimum requirements (see above).
What's the reason and how may I resolve it?
Thanks!

I set some kernel parameters like: set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 and so on. Restart the computer and run dbca+ and configure in advance mode. There's a stage require the size of flash_recover_segment of which the default size number is 2048M. WOW, out of memory on my pc of course.
So I think it's the parameter value during the installation progress bring on the ORA-27102 problem. However, during the first installation, there's no prompt for me to enter the parameter; or I didn't see.

Problem installing Oracle 8i(8.1.7) standard edition on windows 2000 server

I am trying to install Oracle 8i (8.1.7) standard edition on windows 2000 server but the setup program doesn't run.
It starts up, allocates some ram then closes before a window even pops up.
I also have MSSQL server installed on this computer, does that conflict?
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please give a solution if you have one, thanks,
OPS

Yes. There is a bug with Pent4, Win2000 & Oracle8i.
Here is the workaround:
This is a known bug with Oracle java-based applications and Pentium 4 Use this work-around:
1) Copy the install directory from the CD to the hard disk.
2) Edit oraparam.ini and modify it as follows:
* Edit the "SOURCE=" line to to show the full path to the CD ; SOURCE={CD DRIVE LETTER}:\stage\products.jar)
* Edit the "JRE_LOCATION" line to show the full path to the CD ;
JRE_LOCATION={CD DRIVE
LETTER}:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expanded)
* Edit the "OUI_LOCATION" line to show the full path to the CD ;
OUI_LOCATION={CD DRIVE
LETTER}:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Expanded
* Edit the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to include "-nojit" as the first argument ;
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit
-ms16m -mx32m
3) Start setup.exe from your hard drive
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the install.
This way, the Database
Configuration Assistant will not be launched during installation. DONT SELECT
NET8 products for installation.
You need to put the same java parameters for the DB configurator and the Net8
Configurator
to run.
-nojit -ms16m -mx32m before -classpath on:
* assistants\dbca\DBAssist.cl
* network\tools\netca.cl
** Run the DataBaseConfigurationAssistant and NetworkConfigurationAssistant after installation.
Hope it helps!

Problems: install oracle 10g 32 bits on RH 5.8 x64

Hello,
Someone has given me an oracle 10g 32 bits to install on a Redhat 5.8 64 bits server (no other server available).
I have a lot of errors during the installation process
exemple:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml10

I installed libxml10 64 and 32 bits on the system !
I would like to know if this configuration is POSSIBLE ???!
If yes, what is the solution / process to fix these compli. problems :-|

I've never seen any 32-bit software that DIDN'T run on a 64 bit OS, as long as the necessary libraries are installed.
I used this process: is it the good one ?
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/oracle-db-10gr2-installation-on-rhel-5.php
Tim does a very nice job with his stuff on oracle-base, but that is NOT the official documentation. Why not use ORACLE'S own installation guide? Have you seen http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
And why are you installing a a version of Oracle that is out of support?
And as long as you have a 64-bit OS, why would you want to run a 32-bit version of Oracle?

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.

Problem install Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on Linux Mandrake 8.1

Hello,
I want to install Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (8.1.7) on a Linux Server (distribution : Mandrake 8.1).
I do all the task execpt the kernel configuration :
- swap 273Mo + a temprorary file swap 300Mo
- glibx 2.1 installation (compatibility from Red Hat 6.2 and glibc 2.1 compatibility SDK) -> i have glic2.2
- install of JDK 1.1.8 from blackdown.org
- 4 directories created as described in the article "Installing Oracle8i on red hat linux 7.1/7.2 (http://www.idevelopment.info/data/DBA_tips/Linux/LINUX_2.shtml)
- add groups oinstall, dba, oper
- add user oracle
- permission changed on the directories
- environnement variables for the oracle user
When i launch the command ./runInstall as oracle user and from the directory /usr/src/Disk1 (i decompress linux81701.tar in the directory /usr/src) in XTerm window, there's no GUI that appear, and in the XTerm window, there's no error.
I think i don't set the good value to the DISPLAY variable.
DISPLAY=SRV-LINX1:0.0
where SRV-LINX1 is the name of my server. In th documentation, they say DISPLAY=<Any X-Windows Host>:0.0
Can you help me.
Thanks.
Best regards

Benny,
cd to the .../ctx/lib directory and check the ORACLE_HOME at the type of that file. Fix the path in the file or make sure that it's set propertly in the env of that shell.
Type make -f ins_ctx.mk
Linking should complete w/out error messages in shell, then tell Oracle Installer to ignore.
This worked for me on RH 7.2, see http://www.alsutton.com/oracle_install.html for more details, or reference the text below.
An error may occur towards the end of the install on ${ORACLE_HOME}/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk, to fix this I did the following;
1. Start a new shell
2. Type cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/ctx/lib
3. Type vi ins_ctx.mk
4. Inser a line at the top of the makefile which sets the ORACLE_HOME to the correct value. (Or set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the correct value).
5. Save the file and close vi
6. Type make -f ins_ctx.mk
Once the make is complete tell the Oracle install procedure to ignore the error.

Problem installing Oracle 9i on a Debian 64bits (LD_ASSUME_KERNEL)

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 9i on a Debian 64 bits server.
When I launch runInstaller, the installation process stops at 18% "copying naeet.o".
I had the same problem when I installed Oracle 9i on a RedHat 4, but I solved it by setting this env variable :
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
But when I do this on Debian, I can't run any command anymore, I get this error :
ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've been searching, but I can't find how to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL without these side effects !
Can anyone please help ?
Thanks !

it seems to be very very hard to install Oracle 9i on Debian Etch, I found this on the net :
> Is it possible to install Oracle 9i on Debian etch?
So far I have had no luck due libraries requirement.
I appreciate any suggestions.Officially no.
Unofficially, you should be able to with a loooot of tweaking. The
secret is in the "compat" libraries. Basically Oracle is a binary
distribution and relies on gcc296 - not gcc3. You should also get your
own jdk install. Get 1.1.8 (yep - good old one) and use it to run the
installer. With Oracle9i there's no gurantee that the jdk in the
installer will run on your distro. Luckily you can override the jdk with
your own.
If anyone knows a simple way to do it, I'd like to know, but I'd rather give up about this idea
It seems to be to tricky for my poor Linux knowledge
