Oracle9.0.1 on hpux11.0 installation problem.

[Indira Aramandla]

Metalink also says this.

For errors like "Unable to read /pt/oracle/oraInventory/Contents/OracleHomesList.ser. Some inventory information may be lost."

There was a bug reported in the same lines which is fixed in OUI version 2.2.0.9 and
another one reporting similar errors while installing.

This is fixed in OUI 2.2.0.11.
So please get the later version of OUI from the local support and proceed with installtion.

hi,

your disk usage looks OK!

to uninstall, you must again run the Universal Installer and on the first screen ("Welcome"), you must click on "Deinstall products" button. Rest is simple.

hi again,

to launch the installer:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/oiu/bin; ./runInstaller


also, concerning the version of Oracle that you are installing, unless your being forced to install that version, it would be preferrable to install the latest or Oracle 9.2 and 9.2.0.5 patchset.

regards

Hi Shi,

The version of the OUI that accompanied the original installation CDs should be sufficient and they are 2.2â ¦something.

As you had decided to un-install the software and then re-install. From the GUI screen, choose Deinstall products. After successfully un-installing please verify the pre-requisits for Installing Oracle 9i (9.0.1) on HP-UX and then install with the steps given on the release notes and the above posts.

And I agree with Yogeeraj, its better to go to 9.2 if possible.

Remember, If this is the first installation of Oracle 9i on this machine, you will be prompted to enter the location of the Oracle Inventory. This will create the pointer file /opt/oracle/oraInst.loc which contains the oraInventory directory location.

Installation steps should be pretty straight farward.

Good Luck

Hi Eeverybody,

I still need your help. I want reinstall the oracle database, so I wanted to uninstall the oracle firstly, which was failed in 78%. I choose the "deinstall" in the install GUI, but the following message is displayed: "there are no installed products". How can I do now? Can I delete the files directly?

Hope to get your help! Thanks a lot!

Shi,

From your OUI screen under Installed Products button what do you see. If you have Oracle products installed then when you clikc the "Installed Products" button it should list the products with the heading "You have the following Oracle products installed". then you can select them and click the "remove" button. The same thing you can do with the De-Install button.

So what do you see under Installed Products.
