oracle 9i installation problem

[Frank de Vries]

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.

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

Hi Yogeeraj,


I run the script but it don't mount thhe cdrom.

the nohup.out show

/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd: Version: 2.9.1F (UNLIMITED) Built: Sat Oct 17 19:00:42 PDT 1998
/usr/sbin/pfsd: Version: 2.9.1F (UNLIMITED) Built: Sat Oct 17 19:00:42 PDT 1998
pfs_mountd: unable to shutdown: reason: PFS filesystems still mounted
/usr/sbin/pfsd: /usr/sbin/pfsd: can't contact pfsd.rpc: itac: RPC: Program not registered
pfsd: unable to shutdown: reason: unable to conatct pfsd.rpc

with ps -ef|grep pfs I see

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.

Thanks...Ray (ray.ball@fisher-price.com)

hi Ray & Dartan,


the attached script should work!

What is the exact error message that you are getting?


If you already have pfsd daemons up, you must stop them...


kind regards

Hi Ray

After many fruitless attempt at the end I have resolved cpying the oracle DVD on the hard disk
and starting the installation from it.

Best regards

Hi Dartan:

Thanks for that answer about how you got around the CD format issue, but I've never been able to get past the issue with not being able to install patch PHSS_22868. What did you do to resolve that inital problem? Did you have to get a license for the C++ compiler so you could install it and then apply the patch. My issue at this early point in the Oracle installation has to do with a stack size issue that is supposed to be resolved by installing patches (including PHSS_22868) but we don't have C++, nor do we believe we should need it just to install Oracle.

I hope you remember what got you passed the issue with PHSS_22868.

Thanks...Ray

Hi Ray

with swlist -l fileset |grep C++ I have seen that I have another version of C++, and so I haven't installed the patch PHSS_22868; I have installed oracle 9i without error. I think that it is need if oracle users program in pro c language.

Best regards
Dartan
