Process hung

[Chartier Jerome]

Hello,

The oracle installer process(runInstaller) is blocking the cdrom, I can't umount it and using lsof, I've got this log:(29332 is the PID of the runInstaller Process)
# lsof -p 29332
lsof: WARNING -- child process 26466 may be hung.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() cdfs file system /SD_CDROM

runInstal 29332 oracle 3r VDIR 31,0x32000 6144 3225600 /dev/dsk/c3t2d0

Is there any solution to kill this process, and umount the cdrom, appart from a shutdown -r 0 ;(?

TRhanks in advance

Cheers

Hi,

while installing oracle, you are suppose to give the command $/cdrom/runInstaller
since you issued runInstllaer from /cdrom directory, you need to unmount the /cdrom to insert the second disk. GUI will be in fore ground, getinto the window where you issued runInstller, Press enter, you get the shell.
$cd

as root umount the CD and mount the second CD. In the oracle GUI screen specify the /cdrom i the browse path

Do a ps -ef|grep oracle|grep runInstaller

Get the process ID
Do a
#kill -15
to terminate the application.

It that does not work.
You need to do a kill -9

Hello,

Thanks for your help...
I've already tried kill -9, kill -15, kill -11, but nothing worked.
All the mount cdrom processes are attached to PID 1, as well as runInstaller.
I've tried a kill -9 'lsof -p 29332' with no success.
The X session has been lost.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Did you pfs_mount or ordinary mount for the Oracle CD?

If that is the case then try umounting using

pfs_umount /SD_CDROM

Hello,

The cd was Rock Ridge mounted, and not pfs (RR Patch installed)

You will need to restart the oracle install.

fuser -cuk /SD_CDROM will probably not help.

You'll start getting NFS errors and will be unable to pfs_mount the cd.

Its very important with oracle to follow each and every detail in the install guide. You can see that something as trivial as where you start the install program does matter.
