oracle 9i on hpux 11i

[Mel Burslan]

As the header says, I will be expected to deliver an 11i system configured for oracle 9i installation.
The dba who is in charge of the database handed me a prerequisites document for kernel parms and patches but I came to realize that the doc pertains to hpux v 11.0, which can be seen here:

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/pdf/A96167_01.pdf

I am looking for the same or very similar doc. for hpux 11i. Does anyone have any idea where on oracle's website I can find such a document ?

Funny you should mention this, I couldn't find it either. I've asked one our oracle DBA's to check it out with oracle. There are some other pre-requisites carried over from 11.0 like the linking of libraries, umask and setting privgroup which still apply.

Create UNIX user:

oracle (set the umask parameter to 022 for the oracle user)

Create UNIX group:

dba (For HP users, the dba group must be granted the HP system privileges RTSCHED, RTPRIO and MLOCK.)
oper

make oracle a member of dba group

$ cd /usr/lib
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libX11.3 libX11.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXIE.2 libXIE.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXext.3 libXext.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXhp11.3 libXhp11.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXi.3 libXi.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.4 libXm.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXp.2 libXp.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXt.3 libXt.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXtst.2 libXtst.sl

The doc kind of applies to both operating systems. There are a bunch at Oracle who actually don't understand the difference between 11i and 11.00. Some do, some do not.

The matrix from metalink will help:

one of these puppies is it.

Note that Oracle has never been very good until 10g about keeping up to date on HP pathes. The patch list above will include superseded and recalled patches. You will have to check each one and download dependencies as required.

hi Mel,

refer to the DBA if he has access to Oracle Metalink for Document ID: 169706.1. It has all the patches, kernel settings, libc, PATH requirements stated.

if not, refer to the attachment, however, take note that it is updated as and when necessary.

regards.

Hi,

Oracle doc doesn't say 11.0 or 11i. it just says HP 9000 series HP-UX.

Obviously, to access the "metalink"s I need to have a support identifier, which I am not a guardian of. But I will pass these links to the DBA's and ask them to copy all of these and send them to me via email.

I have already cross checked the system with kernel parms for 11.0 and it is satisfying those needs and system is scheduled for patching over this weekend to the conservatively latest patch bundle that HP compiled for us, knowing that we run gazillion different versions of oracle. So, I am hoping, come monday, I can deliver the system to the client group.

Thanks for all your help.
