Re: oracle 8.1.7 installation (2xCDROMs)
Thanks for the link but on the link it states that you use pfs_umount when requested to load the other CD unfortunately that doesnt work because it say the device is busy. Hence my problem

Re: oracle 8.1.7 installation (2xCDROMs)
There are 2 issues .
1. To mount the second CD. Here since the installation is started from the cdrom directory so the user oracle is still there in thte cd mount directory . To unmount you need to change the directory back to some other directory and then only you can unmount it.
2. The CD is not ejecting after it is unmounted , here u need to do ps -aef | grep pfs and then kill the pfs processes starting with the least no and then the next higher value of the pfs. Be careful to this since a wrong sequence will hange the pfs mount and u will need to reboot to get back and hence redo the install.

Re: oracle 8.1.7 installation (2xCDROMs)
The first option ofcourse is to setup a filesystem which would hold both the disks.
The second option is to mount the CD on a Solaris/Linux machine and nfs mount it onto HP.
(Personally i hate using pfs on HP, its buggy, gives problems almost everytime. Not sure if there is a Service Request being worked on or not but I sincerely hope someday there will come a day when we won't have to use pfs ;-)
To tell you the truth i haven't tried the second option with 8.1.7(where we have 2 CDs )
but i think that would work.

Re: oracle 8.1.7 installation (2xCDROMs)
we tried the first cos we thought it was because we were in the directory . So next try we'll go for the kill option and see if that works.
Nice of Oracle to make life easy for you isnt it.

Re: oracle 8.1.7 installation (2xCDROMs)
As long as I stay out of the mount point (/cdrom) issuing the runInstaller, I've never had problems releasing the disk from another session.

Re: oracle 8.1.7 installation (2xCDROMs)
are steps 4 and 5 not clear enough? I am talking about
the link that JRF is referring to...
So, DO NOT do that "cd /cdrom" to start Oracle8.1.7's
"runInstaller"!!!
And step 5) seemed pretty easy to me - tell us on how
to improve the description (but I am getting tired of
re-answering that question over and over again).
Just my $0.02,
