Oracle11gr2 get freeze in the OUI istallation !!

[Ivan Azuara]

Hi,

I'm fighting to resolve a strange problem with the oracle11gr2 installation procedure on 2 hpux 11.31 servers (ORACLE RAC with ASM).

When the OUI installation is running, all the prerequisites of the product pass correctly, but the installation stops in the 95%. In the "checking user mask " step. If i check the log in debug mode appears the next messages:

I don't known why the exectask.sh -getusermask script get freeze and never continue to finish the installation.

Some ideas ??

This looks a badly written .profile for the oracle user. Any interactive commands (tabs, ttytype, stty, tput, tset...) must not be executed in batch mode (or whenever there is no controlling terminal. Recode the oracle user's .profile to protect these types of commands:

tty -s
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
eval $(ttytype -s)
tabs
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C"
stty eof "^D" -parity ixoff
tput clear
fi

Hi Bill

Taking your suggestion. This is the content of the .profile file for the oracle user:

# @(#)B.11.31_LR

# Default user .profile file (/usr/bin/sh initialization).

# Set up the terminal:
if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
then
eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
else
eval ` tset -s -Q `
fi

tty -s
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
eval $(ttytype -s)
tabs
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C"
stty eof "^D" -parity ixoff
tput clear
fi

# NOTE: '.' is added to $PATH for compatibility reasons only. This
# default will be changed in a future release. If "." is not
# needed for compatibility it is better to omit this line.
# Please edit .profile according to your site requirements.

# Set up the search paths:
PATH=$PATH:.

# Set up the shell environment:
set -u
trap "echo 'logout'" 0

# Set up the shell variables:
EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR
umask 022

export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle11g/product/11.2.0.2
export ORACLE_BASE=/oracle11g/product
export ORACLE_SID=MULPSII1

What is your opinion ??

Regards.
