Oracle 9.2 Install on Hp-Ux 11.11

[Sam Waran]

My 4 Oracle install disks were ftp to /samdir/oracle. runInstaller is in disk1. Java1.4 is in /opt/java1.4/jre. When I run runInstaller I get this message: The Java RunTime Environment was not found at /tmp/OraInstall2004-06-16_04-24-14PM. Hence Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run. .....: No such file or directory. I am logged in as user "oracle" My Home is /samdir/oracle. Shell is /usr/bin/sh. I am new to Unix. Please advice. Thanks.

Oracle requires an X windows interface to install.

You also need to have java run time installed in advance.

# general install help.
swinstall -s /full_path_of_depot \*

You do have a CDE X environment on your box which should be used for the installation.

The oracle installation guide that came with the software includes an elaborate step by step process to prepare your machine for installation. There are patches, kernel modidifications required that are too numerous to list here.

You need to find that guide and follow it carefully. Then your install will work.

Here are some more pre-reqs

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

HP JDK 1.3.1.02
HP ANSI C compiler release B.11.01.25171, PHSS_25171, PHSS_25249

Create Symbolic links:

Due to a known bug the operating system requires a few X library symbolic links. These links must be created
manually before starting Oracle9i installation.
To create these links, you must have superuser privileges, as the
links are to be created in the /usr/lib directory. After enabling
superuser privileges, run the following commands to create the
required links:
$ 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

My problems went away when I mounted CD rom drive, copied all the folders to a local drive and then installed my Oracle from there. For some reasons FTP did not work even in bit format.
