Re: Problems installing Oracle 8.1.1 on HPUX 11 32 bit system

Thanks Erik.

You must be thinking of the 8 character problem on the windows platform.

My ORACLE_BASE is /opt/apps/oracle and the
ORACLE_HOME is $ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7, as the OFA suggests !!!!

I can try ot simply changinf the ORACLE_BASE to /u1/oracle, and that will do, BUT, as of right now, we are reinstalling the OS on this server, and will use the full install of the hpux 11, as opposed to the base. I still beliece that we might have a problem with the MEDIA, but do not know how to verify it !!!!

Thanks for the suggestions,

Henrique Silva

Re: Problems installing Oracle 8.1.1 on HPUX 11 32 bit system

Please check the below
Make sure you have the user
oracle
with group dba
all lower case.dba should be the primary group

Then make sure that you have proper permissions for the directory you are installing.
Also give the ownership of the home directoryi.e./opt/app to oracle and dba

chown -R oracle:dba /opt/app/...

Also try using chmod 777 /opt/app/...

Re: Problems installing Oracle 8.1.1 on HPUX 11 32 bit system

TJ, oracle installation instructions say that oinstall should be the primary group for the oracle account and dba the second group.

That was all done. I did not have dba as the primary group, but it could write to that file, since we changed the permission to 777 after the error crept up !!!

Thanks,

Henrique

I had some problems before because I did not have dba as the primary group.
Just give it a try.

Oracle process unable to write because of lack of resource. Increase the swap space and try again.

Good Luck !

Re: Problems installing Oracle 8.1.1 on HPUX 11 32 bit system

Hello Henrique,

Oracle 8.1.7 needed about 300MB of "maxdsiz", 400MB of free space in "/tmp", only five patches in addition to the "Core OS" CD-ROM, and about 400MB in swap-space (in total), so you seem to fine on these values.
Could you check your disk-space for the file-system you try to install Oracle into? The GUI is a plain lie about the amount of disk-space needed - have about 1.5GB free there, before you even start the installation!
The only other idea I have is to check your "ulimit" before you start the installation - it should "unlimited" or very, very big...

HTH,
Wodisc

Hello,
Did you check your syslog file for any disk problems?
Did you solve the problem?
What is the status?

Thanks

Re: Problems installing Oracle 8.1.1 on HPUX 11 32 bit system

Hello everyone.

We completely reinstall the OS, installing more options besides the minimum base install.

Installed all the patches, jdk 1.2, etc,etc, and are now, doing the oracle pre-install tasks and will try a new install today. We found one bad disk on a controller we could not access before, but nothing was being logged to the syslog, since we were not using anything on that bus chain.

Also, we got a new set of CDs to make sure there was nothing wrong with the media, and I will let you guys know later today what the status of this install is !!!

Thanks for all the help,

Henrique Silva
