installing Oracle9i

[Nonie_2008]

Hi,

we want to install Oracle9i database at UNIX 11.23 but an error appeared as

# rpm -q gcc cpp glibc-devel kernel-headers binutils
sh: rpm not found.

How to check whether these items are installed in server HP Unix 11.23?

regards,

Mahani

Hi there,

What version of Oracle are you trying to install? Are you using the correct CD?

Hi,

rpm is not for HP-UX.
Anyway in order to install Oracle you should have an

installer.exe

a script coming from a Oracle CD or more in general from the Oracle depot.

In order to check if some software has been installed on HP-UX

swlist -l product | grep -i

for example

swlist -l product | grep -i gcc


HTH.

Best regards,
Fabio

Mahani,

You are trying to install the Red Hat Linux Oracle distribution, which will not work under HP-UX. You need to locate HP-UX Oracle media.

Hi all,

here is the version number. Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.4.0 .

i try to run the command swlist -l product|grep -i < all packages name > but not result found.

are these packages (gcc cpp glibc-devel kernel-headers glibc-kernheaders binutils) meant for HP UNIX 11.23?

if yes, where can i get it? is it from HP or Oracle ?

Thanks

Hi Siti,

You need to create larger mount file system, lets say it is /stage. Download the Oracle 9i database from OTN site. The link is specified here.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/hpsoft.html

You need to have the otn userid/password. If you dont have one get registered in www.oracle.com.

Download the required gz onto your HP-UX machine.

server_9201_hpunix64_disk1.cpio.gz (566,417,222 bytes)
server_9201_hpunix64_disk2.cpio.gz (648,282,438 bytes)
server_9201_hpunix64_disk3.cpio.gz (538,650,624 bytes)
server_9201_hpunix64_disk4.cpio.gz

After you do that, you need to create the mount file system for Oracle in hp-ux like /u01/app/oracle. This is the standard directory where you install Oracle.

Note:

Run "gunzip " on all the files. Eg.: gunzip server_9201_hpunix64_disk1.cpio.gz
2. Extract the cpio archives with the command "cpio -idcmv < " Eg.: cpio -idcmv Important Note: Some browsers will uncompress the files but leave the extension the same (gz) when downloading. If the above steps do not work, try skipping step 1 and go directly to step 2 without changing the filename. Eg. "cpio -idcmv < server_9201_hpunix64_disk1.cpio.gz"

Hope this helps.

HI All,

Sorry for late reply. Finally has found out that Oracle9i is not compatible to our current server HP UX Itanium 11.23. Therefore, our engineer confirm that this installation is impossible. We are going further for next Oracle10g installation.

Thanks a lot guys.

Points forwarded
