Oracle 9i Installation

Oracle 9i Installation

Installation Mount Options

The Oracle9i installation process uses more than one CD-ROM. The Oracle9i CD-ROMs are in ISO 9660 format with Rockridge extensions. You can choose to install Oracle9i directly from the CD-ROMs, or to copy the CD-ROM contents and install from your system hard drive. Complete the procedures required for the install method you choose before starting the Oracle Universal Installer.

Installing Oracle9i from the CD-ROMs

Installing Oracle9i from the Hard Drive

Oracle Corporation does not support using the Oracle Installer shipped with releases 7.0, 8.0.x, and 8.1.x to install components into a release 1 (9.0.1) Oracle home directory. In addition, you cannot install release 1 (9.0.1) components into a release 7.x, 8.0.x, or 8.1.x Oracle home directory.

Installing Oracle9i from the CD-ROMs

Mounting CD-ROMs for AIX

Mount disk 1 to begin the installation. Mount the subsequent disk or disks when prompted to do so. Follow these steps to mount the Oracle9i CD-ROM manually:
Place Oracle9i CD-ROM disk 1 in the CD-ROM drive.
Log in as the root user and create a CD-ROM mount point directory, if one does not already exist, by using the following commands:
$ su root
# mkdir cdrom_mount_point_directory
Use the following command to determine the device_name:
# lsdev  -Cc cdrom
The output should be similar to the following:
cd0 Available 10-60-00-4, 0 SCSI Multimedia CD-ROM Drive
In the preceding output, /dev/cd0 is the CD-ROM device.
Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point directory, then exit the root account by using the following commands:
# mount options device_name cdrom_mount_point_directory 
# exit
Example 3-1 shows how to mount the CD-ROM manually.
Example 3-1 Mounting the AIX CD-ROM Manually
$ su root
# mkdir /cdrom
# mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom
# exit
Do not run the Installer while the CD-ROM directory is the current directory or you will be unable to unmount the next CD-ROM when prompted to do so.

Mounting CD-ROMs for HP

Mount disk 1 to begin the installation. Mount the subsequent disk or disks when prompted to do so. You must have root privileges to mount or unmount a CD-ROM. Be sure to unmount the CD-ROM before removing it from the drive. Follow these steps to mount the Oracle9i CD-ROM manually:
Use the following command to determine the device_file:
$ ioscan -fun -C disk
The output should be similar to the following:
disk     10  10/12/5.2.0   sdisk       CLAIMED   DEVICE    TOSHIBA CD-ROM 
XM-5701TA /dev/dsk/c4t2d0   /dev/rdsk/c4t2d0
If there is not already an entry in the /etc/pfs_fstab file for your CD-ROM device, add one. As the root user, use a system editor to add a line to the /etc/pfs_fstab file following this format:
device_file mount_point filesystem_type translation_method
In the preceding format, the first entry is the CD-ROM device, the second entry is the mount point, and the third entry indicates that the CD-ROM to be mounted is in ISO9660 format with Rockridge extensions.
The device_file in this example is /dev/dsk/c4t2d0. For a CD-ROM device with the path /dev/dsk/c4t2d0, you would enter the following:
/dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0
Log in as the root user with the following command:
$ su root
Enter the following commands:
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
Place Oracle9i CD-ROM disk 1 in the CD-ROM drive and mount the CD-ROM by entering the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM
Log out of the root account.
# exit
If you run the Installer while the current working directory is in the CD-ROM, follow these steps to mount the next CD-ROM:
Change to your system's root directory and log in as the root user with the following commands:
$ cd /
$ su root
To unmount the CD-ROM, use the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_umount /SD_CDROM
Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.

Installing Oracle9i from the Hard Drive

You can avoid the need to mount and unmount CD-ROMs during installation by copying the contents of each CD-ROM to your system's hard drive. You should have a filesystem that is not in use by other applications and have at least 2 GB of disk space available.

Copy the CD-ROMs to your system hard drive. Copy each CD-ROM to a directory on a single mount point with the same name as the CD-ROM. For example, copy disk 1 to a directory named disk 1.

Start the Oracle Universal Installer. The Installer automatically finds the contents of each CD-ROM and does not prompt for the location of any CD-ROM during the course of the installation.

Oracle Universal Installer

The following procedure describes the installation of products with Oracle Universal Installer.
Do not run the Installer as the root user.
Log in as the oracle user.
Start the Installer from the CD-ROM mount-point directory at the root directory level with the following command:
$ /cdrom_mount_point_directory/runInstaller
The Oracle Universal Installer is capable of running a non-interactive installation of Oracle products and can optionally be configured for "non-interactive" mode. For instructions on using this feature of the Installer, see "Non-Interactive Installation and Configuration.
Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs the Oracle-supplied version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This version is required to run Oracle Universal Installer and several Oracle assistants. Do not modify the JRE except by using a patch provided by Oracle Support Services.
After the Installer starts, the Welcome window appears.
Click Next.

If this is the first time any Oracle9i products are installed on the current system, the File Locations window appears. Specify the base directory where you want to install the files.

If this is not the first time any Oracle9i products are installed on the current system, go to step 8.

Click Next.

The UNIX Group Name window appears. In the UNIX Group Name field, specify the ORAINVENTORY group. Members of this group are granted permission to update Oracle software on the system. Review "Create a UNIX Group for the Oracle Universal Installer Inventory" if you are not sure what group to specify to own oraInventory files.
Click Next.

If the /etc directory does not exist on AIX or the /var/opt/oracle/ directory does not exist on HP, Linux, Solaris, or Tru64, or is not writable by the oracle user, an Installer window appears prompting you to run the /tmp/OraInstall/orainstRoot.sh script in another terminal window as the root user. When the script has finished running, click Retry to continue the installation.
The File Locations window appears. Do not change the text in the Source field. The Source field specifies the location of the installation files.
A note window opens only if you have not completed all the required pre-installation steps. If you choose to run the orainstRoot.sh script, the oraInventory file and other files oracle account uses will be written in the $ORACLE_HOME directory to ensure that oracle account has write access. This configuration may not be optimal for your system or your needs. Oracle Corporation recommends that you complete the steps described in Chapter 2, "Pre-Installation Requirements."
Enter the Oracle home directory path in the Destination field. The directory path is where you want to install Oracle9i products. If you set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable before starting the Installer, the Installer uses this directory path as the default value in the Destination field.

You must install Oracle9i products into a new Oracle home directory. You cannot install Oracle9i products into a directory that contains older versions of the software.

Reviewing a Log of an Installation Session

The Installer creates the oraInventory directory the first time it is run to keep an inventory of products that it installs on your system as well as other installation information.
The location of the oraInventory directory is defined in the /etc/oraInst.loc file for AIX, and the /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc file on HP, Linux, Solaris, and Tru64.
The log file of the most recent installation is oraInventory_location/logs/installActions.log. Previous installation log files use the log file name format:
installActionsdate_time.log
For example:
installActions2001-02-14_09-00-56-am.log
Do not delete or manually alter the oraInventory directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent the Installer from locating products that you install on your system.
The make.log file in $ORACLE_HOME/install directory contains a log of every make file action executed during the installation process. The make.log file also records any link errors during installation. Do not delete or alter the make.log file.

Completing Installation of Oracle9i Server Enterprise Edition

If no errors occurred during installation, your installation is complete. If the olap.key configuration file did not get created due to errors, perform the following steps. For information about installation errors, read the OLAP installation log in $ORACLE_HOME/install/olap.log.
Ensure that you have installed all required patches. For information on operating system patches, see Chapter 2, "Pre-Installation Requirements".
To configure olap.key, use the following command:
$ $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/regctrl /infile olap.cfg
Non-Interactive Installation and Configuration

You can perform a non-interactive installation of Oracle9i products by supplying the Oracle Universal Installer with a response file. The Installer uses the variables and values contained in the response file to provide answers to some or all of the Installer prompts. If you include responses for all of the Installer's prompts in the response file, then you can run a non-interactive installation that displays no graphical output. You can also run Oracle Data Migration Assistant, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, and Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant in non-interactive mode by using response files.

Preparing a Response File

Oracle Corporation provides response file templates for each installation category and type, and for configuration tools.

Response Files

File Name Description
enterprise.rsp Enterprise Edition Installation of Oracle9i Server
standard.rsp Standard Edition Installation of Oracle9i Server
custom.rsp Custom Edition Installation of Oracle9i Server
oms.rsp Oracle Management Server installation of Oracle9i Management and Integration
oid.rsp Oracle Internet Directory installation of Oracle9i Management and Integration
infrastructure.rsp Custom installation of Oracle9i Management Infrastructure
clientadmin.rsp Administrator installation of Oracle9i Client
clientruntime.rsp Runtime installation of Oracle9i Client
clientcustom.rsp Custom installation of Oracle9i Client
dbca.rsp Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
netca.rsp Oracle Net Configuration Assistant
emca.rsp Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant

To use a response file, copy the response file from the Oracle9i CD-ROM to a directory on your system. For example:
$ cd cdrom_mount_point_directory/response
$ cp enterprise.rsp local_directory
Edit the response file with any text editor. Each response file contains instructions for configuring it properly to serve your requirements. Custom response files require extensive editing before you can use them for a non-interactive session.

Installing with a Response File

To use a response file with the Oracle Universal Installer, follow the steps described in the section in this chapter called "Oracle Universal Installer". Refer to the response file for required configuration information and parameters by specifying the response file location when you start the Installer. Use the following command format:
$ /<cdrom_mount_point_directory>/runInstaller [-silent] -responseFile filename
Select the -silent parameter to perform a completely non-interactive installation or configuration. In non-interactive mode, the DISPLAY environment variable must still be set as described in "DISPLAY".

Configuring With a Response file

To use a configuration assistant in non-interactive mode, do one of the following:
Configure an Oracle Universal Installer response file to spawn the non-interactive configuration assistant.
Run the configuration assistant in stand-alone mode. Use the following command format:
$ assistant_name [-silent] -responseFile filename
In the preceding command, assistant_name is the configuration assistant that you want to run and filename is the response file for that assistant.
To run the Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant in non-interactive mode, use both the -silent and -responseFile parameters.
If you perform an Oracle9i Enterprise Edition installation in non-interactive mode, then Oracle Net Configuration Assistant will not configure your system at the end of the installation. After the installation, run the Oracle Net configuration with the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant by executing the netca command from the Oracle home directory.

The Installer or configuration assistant fails if you attempt a non-interactive session without appropriately configuring a response file. See "Response File Error Handling for information on troubleshooting a failed non-interactive installation.

First Time Installation in Non-interactive Mode

During an interactive installation, the orainstRoot.sh script creates the oraInst.loc file. If you have not previously installed Oracle products on a system, manually create the oraInst.loc file before running the Installer in non-interactive mode. This file specifies the oraInventory directory where the Installer creates the inventory of Oracle products installed on the system. Read the /tmp/silentInstall.log file for information about running the orainstRoot.sh script.

Before creating the oraInst.loc file, read and complete the tasks described in Chapter 1, "Oracle9i Installation Planning" and Chapter 2, "Pre-Installation Requirements".
To create the oraInst.loc file on AIX:
Log in as the root user by entering:
$ su root
If the /etc directory does not already exist on your system, create it by entering the command:
# mkdir /etc
Change directory to the /etc directory:
# cd /etc
Using a text editor, create a file called oraInst.loc that includes the following two lines:
inventory_loc=inventory_directory
inst_group=
On the first line, set the inventory_loc parameter to the directory defined by the ORACLE_BASE variable and the file named oraInventory. For example, if the value of the ORACLE_BASE variable is /uo1/app/oracle, then set inventory_directory to /uo1/app/oracle/oraInventory.
On the second line, include, but do not set, the inst_group= parameter.
The oraInst.loc file should be owned by both the oracle user and the ORAINVENTORY group.
# chown oracle:oinstall oraInst.loc
# chmod 664 oraInst.loc
To create the oraInst.loc file on HP, Linux, Solaris, or Tru64:
Log in as the root user by entering:
$ su root
If the /var/opt/oracle directory does not already exist on your system, create it by entering the command:
# mkdir /var/opt/oracle
Change directory to the /var/opt/oracle directory:
# cd /var/opt/oracle
Using a text editor, create a file called oraInst.loc that includes the following two lines:
inventory_loc=inventory_directory
inst_group=
On the first line, set the inventory_loc parameter to the directory defined by the ORACLE_BASE variable and the file named oraInventory. For example, if the value of the ORACLE_BASE variable is /uo1/app/oracle, then set inventory_directory to /uo1/app/oracle/oraInventory.
On the second line, include, but do not set, the inst_group= parameter.
The oraInst.loc file should be owned by both the oracle user and the ORAINVENTORY group.
# chown oracle:oinstall oraInst.loc
# chmod 664 oraInst.loc
At this point, you are ready to run the Installer in non-interactive mode.

Running EMCA in Non-interactive Mode

There are two methods to run Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant (EMCA):

As a stand-alone procedure

As part of a non-interactive installation session

Using either method you can only create a new repository. You cannot delete, upgrade, or edit a repository using EMCA in non-interactive mode.

EMCA Non-interactive Mode Stand-alone Method

To run stand-alone EMCA in non-interactive mode:
Complete the pre-installation steps listed in "Setup Tasks to Perform as the oracle User".

Verify that the Oracle Management Server is installed on the node where you intend to run EMCA.

Copy the emca.rsp response file to a local directory.

Use a text editor to edit the emca.rsp file according to the instructions in the response file.

Ensure that the repository user's USERNAME variable that you specify in the emca.rsp file is unique across your network. If the USERNAME variable is not unique, agent queue files will go out of sync with Oracle Management Server repositories. Jobs and events registered against the agents will not work.
Change to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Enter:
$ emca  -responseFile path/emca.rsp -silent
In the preceding command, path is the directory path to the response file.
EMCA Non-interactive Mode and Non-interactive Installation Session Method

To run EMCA in non-interactive mode as part of a non-interactive installation session:
Copy an installation response file from the Oracle9i CD-ROM to a local directory.

Choose the installation response file that corresponds to the type of installation you are performing. For example, choose the enterprise.rsp file to perform an Enterprise Edition installation of Oracle9i Server.
Use a text editor to edit the response file according to the instructions in the response file.

Ensure that Oracle Management Server will be installed as part of the non-interactive installation. The Oracle Management Server is only available for installation in the following installation response files:
enterprise.rsp
custom.rsp
oms.rsp
infrastructure.rsp
Edit the following parameters in the oracle.sysman.oms_9.0.1.0.0 section of the installation response file to ensure that EMCA is properly launched in non-interactive mode:
emca
s_responseFileEMCA
Refer to the installation response file for more detailed instructions on setting these variables.
The following is an example of the oracle.sysman.oms_9.0.1.0.0 section of the installation response file:
#-------------------------------------------------------------- 
# Name 	: emca
# Datatype      	: StringList 
# Description   	: List of Optional Config tools to launch. 
# 	: Following are possible values
# emca	:Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant 
# Example value 	: {"emca"} 
# Default value 	: {"emca"} 
#------------------------------------------------------------ 

OPTIONAL_CONFIG_TOOLS={"emca"} 

#------------------------------------------------------------ 
# Name          	: s_responseFileEMCA
# Datatype      	: String 
# Description   	: Path to a customized copy of a response file for EMCA
# 	: based on the emca.rsp provided with the release
# Valid values	: Full path to any valid EMCA response file
# Example value	:"/TEMP/EMCA.RSP" 
# Default value 	: None 
# Mandatory   	: Yes 
#----------------------------------------------------------- 

s_responseFileEMCA="/TEMP/EMCA.RSP" 
Copy the emca.rsp response file to a local directory.

Use a text editor to edit it according to the instructions in the response file.

Ensure that the repository user's USERNAME variable that you specify in the emca.rsp file is unique across your network.
Change directory to the directory where the Oracle Universal Installer is located. The installation response file automatically spawns the EMCA response file when the non-interactive installation is complete. Run the installation response file with the following command:
$ runInstaller -responseFile path/installation _rersponse _file_name -silent
Configuration steps for OID in Non-interactive Mode

At the end of a non-interactive installation, the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) server is started on port 5000. Perform the following steps to bring up the server on port 389:
Shutdown the OIDLDAPD and OIDMON processes, and the database with the following commands:
$ oidctl server=oidldapd instance=1 stop
$ oidmon stop
As root user, run the $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh script:
# $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh
Restart the OIDLDAPD and OIDMON processes, and the database with the following commands:
$ oidmon start
$ oidctl server=oidldapd instance=1 start
Response File Error Handling

The success or failure of the installation is logged in the silentInstall.log file. If an oraInventory directory exists on your system, then the silentInstall.log file is created there. Otherwise, it is created in the oraInventory_location/logs directory. The detailed results of the non-interactive installation session are saved in the oraInventory_location/logs/silentInstall.log file.
A non-interactive installation fails:

if you do not specify a response file

if you attempt a non-interactive installation with an incorrect or incomplete response file

if you attempt a non-interactive installation and the Installer encounters an error, such as insufficient disk space

The Installer or configuration assistant validates the response file at runtime. If the validation fails, the non-interactive installation or configuration process ends. The Installer treats values for parameters that are of the wrong context, format, or type as if no value was specified in the file. Variables that are outside any section are ignored.
Information about a failure is recorded in the installation session's log file.

Oracle Real Application Clusters

This section describes the following:

Oracle Real Application Clusters ORACLE_HOME

Oracle Real Application Clusters Installed Software Location

Oracle Real Application Clusters ORACLE_HOME

To ensure that the installation succeeds on the remote nodes you choose, select a path for ORACLE_HOME that exists on all chosen nodes and is writable. Otherwise, installation on the remote nodes will fail. No error message will indicate this failure.

Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation on Cluster Filesystem

Oracle Universal Installer supports Real Application Clusters installation on a Cluster Filesystem for Compaq Tru64 UNIX. The Installer detects the Cluster Filesystem and files are not copied to the remote nodes. Network Configuration Assistant and Oracle Database Configuration Assistant are also Cluster Filesystem-aware.

Oracle Real Application Clusters Installed Software Location

During installation, software products are installed on the node from which the Oracle Universal Installer is run and copied to the other selected nodes in the cluster.
