Unneeded packages missing at Oracle 11gR2 installation on RHEL6.3 x86_64

Hi experts!!
I am getting a little bit puzzled when I am installing Oracle Database 11gR2 on my RHEL 6.3 server, which is x86_64.
I have read the installation doc (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24326/toc.htm) over and over again but I cannot get any clue to solve the problem I am facing: when I get to the 'Prerrequisite Checks' step at the installation, I get a message informing that I am missing some packages for i386, which shouldn't be necessary according to the documentation. The documentation says the next packages need to be installed for RHEL6 (all of them either for x86_64 or i686):
++The following or later version of packages for Oracle Linux 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 must be installed:++
++binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6 (x86_64)++
++compat-libcap1-1.10-1 (x86_64)++
++compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6 (x86_64)++
++compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686++
++gcc-4.4.4-13.el6 (x86_64)++
++gcc-c++-4.4.4-13.el6 (x86_64)++
++glibc-2.12-1.7.el6 (i686)++
++glibc-2.12-1.7.el6 (x86_64)++
++glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6 (x86_64)++
++glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.i686++
++ksh++
++libgcc-4.4.4-13.el6 (i686)++
++libgcc-4.4.4-13.el6 (x86_64)++
++libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6 (x86_64)++
++libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686++
++libstdc++-devel-4.4.4-13.el6 (x86_64)++
++libstdc++-devel-4.4.4-13.el6.i686++
++libaio-0.3.107-10.el6 (x86_64)++
++libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.i686++
++libaio-devel-0.3.107-10.el6 (x86_64)++
++libaio-devel-0.3.107-10.el6.i686++
++make-3.81-19.el6++
++sysstat-9.0.4-11.el6 (x86_64)++
However, having a look at the installation log for the packages installed, the Oracle installation is missing some packages for i386, but these infraestructure is not required at all for RHEL6:
[root@localhost ~]# less /tmp/OraInstall2013-03-04_09-06-59PM/installActions2013-03-04_09-06-59PM.log| grep -i "is missing on node"

INFO: Error Message:PRVF-7532 : Package "pdksh-5.2.14" is missing on node "localhost"
If I ignore this warnings, at the next step the Oracle installation stops with an error. I am a little bit lost about how to do to solve this. Is there anybody who has faced the same situation?
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Guiller.

Hi Srini!
You are totally right. I have downloaded the following 11gR2 version:
11.2.0.1.0
However, having a look at the download page for Oracle databases, I guess that is the latest version I can find to download (if I don't have any kind of support with Oracle). Here it is the link I am using to download the software:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
Thank you very much and kind regards,

  • Oracle 11GR2 installation Prerequsite check - IZ42940 failed

    Oracle 11GR2 installation Prerequisite check fails with the following:
    OS PATCH : IZ42940 failed
    OS PATCH : IZ49516 failed
    OS PATCH : IZ52331 failed
    I have AIX 5.3 level with the patch level as below:-
    oslevel -s
    5300-12-02-1036
    If I check at OS , I get
    /usr/sbin/instfix -i -k "IZ42940 IZ49516 IZ52331"
    there was no data for IZ42940 in the fix database
    there was no data for IZ49516 in the fix database
    there was no data for IZ52331 in the  fix database
    I have checked the latest AIX patch in media, which I am using, doesnu2019t contain these fixes IZ42940 , IZ49516 and IZ52331.
    I am just wondering how do I install these fixes IZ42940 , IZ49516 and IZ52331,
    Please help,

    Hello Abu,
    I am just wondering how do I install these fixes IZ42940 , IZ49516 and IZ52331
    The fix-numbers are only valid for one AIX TL - this means if the installer was released with TL 05 (for example) .. you will get this message if you are using TL 12 now, because of the fix numbers have changed.
    The only way to verify it is to go to the following IBM page and check the fix numbers for your TL.
    In your cases:
    IZ42940 - https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1fixinfo110763
    IZ49516 - https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1fixinfo112964
    IZ52331- https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1fixinfo115020
    If your AIX TL level is not mentioned in these pages ... just take the previous TL Fix number and check for this.
    Regards
    Stefan

    i
    The installation is getting paused at the 8th step of Oracle installation.Neither i am getting any error message nor an entry is recorded in the Oracle inventory log.

    Request you to help me out in resolving the issue.
    Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

    Hi Helios
    Thanks for the response. The database is still not created to check in the Alert log .It is still in the phase of pre-requisite checks. I did not go with Silent installation.It is a plain single instance installation.
    The installation screen is greyed out with out any message or error.
    Please could you share if you have any thoughts on this.

    The error occurs "during installation" while trying to do the database configurations.
    (I did try once without installing and configuring the Loopback adapter (With and without plugging into the network).

    As you stated, Ubuntu is not a certified distro for Oracle installs - so errors should be expected. Google for sites (like http://www.pythian.com/blog/installing-oracle-11gr2-enterprise-edition-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/) where others have documented their experiences. Also, just because you are able to install the software successfully does not mean it will work as advertised.

    TNS Ping Utility for for 64-bit Windows: Version11.2.0.1.0 - Production on 23-JUL-2013 12:12:10
    Copyright (c) 1997 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
    Used parameter files:
    D:\app\Erhan\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
    Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
    Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ERHAN-PC)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = mydatabase)))
    OK (20 msec)
    THis would have been far more benificial if you had included the actual tnsping command you used, so that we could see what net service name you provided.
    here is my  tnsnames.ora file :
    # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: D:\app\Erhan\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    DB =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = db)
    LISTENER_DB =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    LISTENER_ORCL =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SID = CLRExtProc)
          (PRESENTATION = RO)
    Your tnsping reports that it was using a tnsnames entry that included "HOST = ERHAN-PC".   None of the entries in the tnsnames.ora that you showed us have that HOST specification.  From that we can confidently say that either your tnsping was using a different tnsnames.ora than the one you showed, or you did not show all of that tnsnames.ora.
    In fact, since all of the entries you showed are for host=localhost, no request using any of those entries will ever leave the machine.  But your error is such that you haven't yet gotten that far.
    Since tns ping reported it was using parameter file "D:\app\Erhan\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora",  it is almost certain that it also used "D:\app\Erhan\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora".   Is that the tnsames.ora you showed us?

  • Oracle 11gr2 database installation using ASM on standalone Server.

    Hello Guys,
    Environment is as below:
    Oracle 11gr2
    ASM
    Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
    I never did oracle 11gr2 installation using ASM and I need to install Oracle software on standalone server and then create database 11g Release 2.
    I have following doubts:
    1. Do we need to install Grid infrastructure software for standalone server as well ?
    2. Does Grid Infrastructure software comes separately or alongwith DB software ?
    3.Is Grid software same for RAC and standalone server setup ?
    4.Do we need to create user Grid for installation of Grid for standalone server as well ?
    can anyone give me full steps from scratch ?
