Oracle config. On HP Unix

[Satyarth Desai]

Hi

I am trying to install Oracle 8.0.5 on HP UNIX 10.20
Installation is through . When I try to start ORACLE instance using svrmgrl , I
get the following error :

-------------------------------------------------

$ ./svrmgrl

Oracle Server Manager Release 3.0.5.0.0 - Production

Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Release 8.0.5.0.0 - Production

SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected.
SVRMGR> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
SVRMGR> disconnect
Disconnected.
SVRMGR> exit

-------------------------------------------------
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem ?

I believe this question would be better asked of Oracle support as they have a
more intimate knowledge of these error conditions.
At a best guess, I would say that you either have an environment variable
inccorect, or missing, or that some specific kernel parameter has not been
changed as per their documentation.

There are several Kernel parameters that need to be changed from the default
settings on HP-UX for Oracle 8, do this and rebuild the kernel and secondly
make sure that the oracle account is running teh posix shell and don't forget
to include all the additions that are recommended. These suggestions might not
be the answers but at leats you will be taking some variables out of the
equation.
