Oracle 9i on HP11

[Mike Larsson]

Hi, I'm new to oracle but was asked to install it on an HP11 server for testing purposes. I think it installed ok, but I don't know how to start it. Oracle 8i had svrmgrl, connect internal, startup, but oracle 9i doesn't have the svrmgrl. Any suggestions?

Mike,

sqlplus is now used to instead of svrmrgl

$ sqlplus internal
SQL> startup
SQL> exit

Hi, I tried that but it is asking for the paswd and userid. (which are the default from the install,(manager)) Here is the output.
bash-2.02$ sqlplus internal

SQL*Plus: Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production on Thu Oct 11 10:47:17 2001

If you are using the defaults, the try user 'sys' password 'change_on_install'.

Mike,

try :

$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

also have your added the oracle user to the dba group. I'm not sure if the oinstall group is needed after the install

[Mike Larsson]

Ok, I tried the sys userid and change_on_install passwd and I think now I have a memory issue; (I have 132 Meg/ram but hoped it was ok for a few tests with oracle)

Enter user-name: sys
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory


Enter user-name:

Mike,

oracle doc A90453-01 Installation Checklist states 9i requires a minimum of 256MB

Thanks for all the answers. Our developer thought oracle would run on 132M/ram but it apparently doesn't. I'll track some memory down and install it.
