How to install hp-ux11 to host Oralce effectively?

[Steve Yang_2]

What OS packages are really needed for an Oracle 9i server? There are so many applications and patches in the CD, I think we don't have to install the whole thing, right?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

First of all, you should verify your version of HP-UX is certified with the version of the RDBMS.

Here are the guidelines:
------------------------------------------------------------
Verification of Version Certification:
The following steps are required to verify your version of the HP-UX operating system is certified with the version of the RDBMS (Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0)):
1. Enter http://metalink.oracle.com into a web brower
2. Click button labeled "Certify and Availability"
3. Click button labeled "Certification"
4. Click link "View Certifications by Product"
5. Select "Oracle Server" ... Click Submit
6. Select "Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition" ... Click Submit
7. Select "HP 9000 Series HP-UX" ... Click Submit
8. Select the version of Oracle ... Click Submit
9. Check the column "Status" for Certification Status
10. Click link "Yes" in the column "Addtl. Info." for PatchSet information.

The "Status" column displays the certification status. The links in the "Addt'l Info" and "Install Issue" columns may contain additional information relevant to a given version. Note that if patches are listed under one of these links, your installation is not considered certified unless you apply them. The "Addt'l Info" link also contains information about available patchsets. Installation of patchsets is not required to be considered certified, but they are highly recommended.
------------------------------------------------------------
The only OS package that i had to verify/install was JDK 1.3.1.

Anyway, you should go through the installation guide in more details. (available on metalink.oracle.com or otn.oracle.com)

Hope this helps!

Hi

Apply the last june 2002 support plus bundle and you're safe.

If you're running hp-ux11.11 you'll in addition need the latest ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch.

If you have access to Metalink you find it there:

Incase you don't have Metalink I've attached the document;
HP-UX: Patch Levels Advised
from Metalink.
