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:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/fintanr/20040803
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
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9.    Actual 5.10
                                      Failed <<<<
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
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9
to be
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9,5.10
And thats it, just run through your install as normal.

Cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB

Hello,
I cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB, because when the the configuration assistant installer try to copy the db files, it stop with the following errors:
ORA-24324 Service Handle not Initialized
ORA-24323 Value not authorized
ORA-28547 Connection to Server failed probable Oracle NET ADMIN errorRegards
Siyavuş

You should be connected as a local administrator to perform the install process.
Try to perfom a software only install, then once you make sure the installation was successful, launch the dbca. It is important for you to use a local account to perform the installation and db setup process, otherwise, if you have authentication problems, even if you comment the authentication line at the sqlnet.ora file you will be facing issues that will make fail the assistant, since it is designed to work assuming the user is OS authenticated.

Cannot install oracle 10g R1 client on redhat as 4

I've got an oracle 10g r2 XE rdbms installed on a redhat as 4 system.
I am trying to install the pro*c precompiler on this system because it is not included in the 10g r2 installation. It's not included in the 10g r2 client either. Is oracle planning to drop support for this or what's going on with that?
I am now trying to install the oracle 10g r1 client for linux since it has the pro*c compiler included (or so I've read).
When I try to run the installer, it responds with:
Checking operating system version: must be readhat-2.1, readhat-3, SuSE-9, or UnitedLinux-1.0
Failed <<<<
Any ideas as to what is wrong?
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
Kernel version 2.6.9-42.ELsmp i686
Werner

Does the logfile of the installer show more detailled error messages?
Try starting the installer with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.

Cannot install oracle 10g on Windows 7 64-bit

Hello,
I downloaded from edelivery.oracle.com the following version:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista X64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 X64 (5 parts)I unzipped the 5 zip files and started the file ./database/setup.exe. The program cannot recognize my OS - it needs to see version 5.0, 5.1 or 6.0, I have 6.1. I started setup.exe with Win Vista SP2 compatibility and I can see then the first step of the Installation Manager. I choose there the installation type - basic or advanced. No matter which one I choose, the installation manager closes itself and does not continue.
Any ideas what I can do? Have I downloaded the right version? Another possibility was
Oracle® Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 DVD (4 parts)

Yes you can. You need to tweak the file oraparam.ini There are at least two lines you either need to add or change. The first is
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
I added the 6.1
Next is
[Windows-6.1-optional]
I added that below
[Windows-6.0-optional]
Setup will now run. During the install you will get a warning about the OS version but you can "OK" your way through it. Here is the entire contents of the file after changes

Can't install oracle 10g on solaris v10 X86!!!

Hi everybody, I got error messages below:
====================================================
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10
Failed <<<<
=====================================================
Does that mean there is not Oracle 10g for Solairs 10 X86?
Where can I find Oracle 9i for Solairs x86?
Thanks advance!

10g on Solaris 10 needs special handling:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Error while installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 9 x86

Hi all,
I got several error after install oracle 10g. After I run the root.sh. It prompt :
Starting Oracle CSS service under init(1M)
Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 120 seconds.
Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.
and when I start sqlplus, it prompt:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Intel SVR4 UNIX Error: 2: No such file or directory
and following the error message prompt every minutes.
"oracle: (Oracle CSSD will be run out of init)"
"root: Failure in CSS initialization opening OCR."
I don't think reinstall oracle will solve my problem if I don't figure out what going wrong. Could anyone tell me what I need to do? Thanks very much for helping.
Cheers,
Alex

Check also if the t-bit is set:
[root@vtl1g121 ~]# ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Apr 10 11:44 /tmp
This is needed to mark the filesystem/directory as temporary.
Sometimes this can cause such problems also
Command: chmod +t /tmp

How can we install the package and what is the role of the packge.
Thansk,
Selva

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.

[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.rac1.gsd   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac1
ora.rac1.ons   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac1
ora.rac1.vip   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac1
ora.rac2.gsd   application    ONLINE    ONLINE    rac2
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.

Installing oracle 10g release 2 on spark solaris!! urgent help!

hi guys!
Am installing oracle 10g r2 on spark sun solaris. I did install the software without any pb, but when installing the database using dbca, I have this errors.
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpcreates
Edited my kernel parameters and in the /etc/system file, ai've added
set noexec_user_stack=1
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Space aint an issue and dont know how to over come this error!
Should ai just install the db using scripts and run the neccessary .sql scripts instead of going through dbca?
junior DBA in distress.

This appears to be because of low semaphores setting. Did you reboot your server after making the /etc/system parameter changes ?

Install oracle 10g on solaris 9 platform without setting noexec_user_stack

Hi,
I'd like install oracle 10g software on solaris 2.9 platform without setting noexec_user_stack parameter to 1.
The problem is that i need install software before, for migrating product environment.
I can write /etc/system file but i can't reboot system until several days.
I will not start migration process until i reboot the system and parameter definitely set.
Do you know if we will can have any kind of problem???
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer FZheng. But i will just install software. I will not start any oracle 10g process until i reboot the machine.
I think that oracle software installacion should not be affected. Do you know if this parameter affect to compile softwere during OUI wizard progress???.
Before going on migration process and start database i will sure that this parameter is correctly fixed.
PD.: I couldn't read metalink reference that you've suggested becouse my metalink account have problem access in this momment. During all day i've been reeding metalinks docs without any problem until this momment, bad luck.
In test environment i've installed oracle without this parameter and i've never had any problem. But this installation is more important than others becouse i ask you in this specialist forum.
Thanks again !!!
