===============================================

at the end Net Confg Assistant fails to install.

what are the possible reasons....

Need help from all oracle HP-UX professionals, since I am new to this.

You need to go back to the manual and run the checklist again.

Oracle 10g does a number of obnoxious things, such as requiring the shmmax kernel parameter be set to physical memory, even though HP-UX will ignore any figure above 25% of memory, which it defines as ram plus swap.

You need to meet the minimum swap requirements.

You need to make sure the /tmp or alternate filesystem has the 500 MB or so Oracle requires.

You need to see that all preinstallation software that is required is actually installed correctly. If its sd/ux depot software check it with swverify \*

SHLIB_PATH variable is critical. Some oracle installatins require temporary access to the fuser command.

Lastly the install log or oracle may have clues as to the nature of the problem encountered.

Hi,
Thanks for reply..

1)OUI shows that kernel parameter requirement
for
mxuprc=3687 but as per the formula set it comes mxuprc=3686, will it create problem
for installation??

2)For software requirement, most of the softwares are optional. not required for All Installations.I have install only XMotif11.
will it create problem??

Need ur help....

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem with mxuprc, the installer said it was configured at 3686 but should be 3687.

I thought it was me having finger trouble.

I ignored this and the installation appeared to have finished OK.

RE the software requirements
We only installed the patches required for All installations but then we don't use any of the other Oracle software that required the other patches.

We also went to the HP website and got additional patches for JRE which is also mentioned in the install guide.

We didn't install the XMotif11 patch but added the links instead, this is also in the guide.

Good luck to you sir, I would like to report that out install was a resounding success but I can't as the oracle listener at least once a day, stops servicing incoming connections with an HP-UX out of space error.

although, hopefully this is a server configuration problem rather than an Oracle install problem.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply,

I have install the HP Patches for JAVA 1.4.
What is the JRE patches?? are they diff.

during installation OUI can not find most of the 32bit libs in ORAHOME/lib32 folder , hence after installation some assistants fails.

If you have any solution then Pls reply,

Regards,

Darshan

Hi All,

Problem has been resolved,

I have installed HP C++ compiler. Noe Oracle 10g installed successfully.

Need to install HP C++ / HP C-ANSI compiler

[Chris Loggans]

You may also want to check the permissions on the directories in the root file system. I tried to install 10g with the wrong C/C++ compiler version and in addition to the errors Darshan described, somehow the the ownership of the root directory (. and .. in /) were changed to the oracle software owner. This causes all kinds of interesting problems.

Good luck,
-Chris

[Steven E. Protter]

I believe the C++ compiler requirements are in the install guide.

Please reward the itrc members who assisted you with points.

1 will be sufficient in my case.

Hi All,

Thanks for all kind of help provided by you guys.

But if we look at the Installation guid for
Oracle 10g(10.1) for HP-UX they have not mentioned HPC/C++ compiler for all installation.It seems to be a optional software required for Oracle call interface.

They must have specified it for all installation.unless Oracle Installer can not create 32bit native library through JAVA.
