Re: oracle 9i installation problem

Hi Dartan

It works well with us.

Are you sure the xlat options are defined ??You will get the correct format if you
create the /etc/pfs_fstab file
and have this line in it:

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0

It is the 'xlat' option that will make it unix compatible, otherwise you get it truncated , suffixed with ; etc.
so use xlat=unix !!!!

To test manually you can try this:

For oracle CD's :
pfs_mount -v -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CDROM

(This works with us on version 11.00 and 11.11)

For other CD's you can use this:
pfs_mount -v -t iso9660 -x unix /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CDROM

Keep cooking;

Thanks for the answers:
Hi mustafa,
I think that the patch that I have installed are the equivalent for hp 11.00:
PHCO_26449 1.0 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)
PHKL_26450 1.0 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
PHKL_28060 1.0 Y2k; Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660

but the cdrom show capital and truncatd letters
DOC INDEX.HTM;1 INSTALL LGTO RESPONSE RUNINSTA;1 STAGE

Hi Frank,
I have create the pfs_fstab and inser the line:
#/root:/etc #cat pfs_fstab
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0

but the test show:
#/root:/ #pfs_mount -v -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM
Version: 2.9.1F (UNLIMITED) Built: Sat Oct 17 19:00:42 PDT 1998
pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 on /SD_CDROM: not rrip.
pfs_mount: giving up on /SD_CDROM

What other can I try ?

Re: oracle 9i installation problem

Dartan;
you dont need to use pfs_mount anymore as long as you use the patches listed.
If you still have problems, oracle Cd s' sometimes be of poor quality, you should load them on a newish PC and copy over or request a new set from Oracle.

Re: oracle 9i installation problem

Hi

The CD is read well on pc. If I load the CD in the pc and copy all installation (4 cd) in different folder on unix, it should be run ?

Re: oracle 9i installation problem

you can download installation software from oracle website.it is a zip file.

www.oracle.com -->downloads
you need a free account for this.

after downloading;
1-ftp the zip file to the server.
2-unzip this file
3-start the installation with oracle user

Re: oracle 9i installation problem

Hi,
Dartan

Sorry about the late reply:
I was awaty for a long weekend since
friday:)

Anyway,
you seem to ghave established it is not rrip,
at least we know that now.

If it is not rrip it has got to be iso,
so the entry would be:

pfs_fstab:
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom pfs-iso9660 xlat=unix 1 0

Or command line:
pfs_mount -v -t iso9660 -x unix /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CDROM

Hope this gets you sorted out.

Re: oracle 9i installation problem

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the answers;

I have tried,as you said, with:
pfs_fstab:
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-iso9660 xlat=unix 1 0
after start the daemon:
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
sleep 4
/usr/sbin/pfsd &
and after I mount the cdrom:
pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM
the cd is mounted but I see only small letters and cut at 8 charachers
runinsta

I don't restart pfs daemon every time that I do a test, I leave it running,
and have tried with

pfs_mount -v -t iso9660 -x unix /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM
but the result is ths same
I do some errors ?
Thanks

Does anyone know what the final resolution to this problem was?? I have the same identical problem and need to get to the bottom of this fiasco.
