Prerequisites of Oracle 9i installation

[Girish_17]

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what kernel parameter we need to set before proceeding with Oracle 9i installation on HPUX 11i.
We have configured swap and created Oracle user / dba group.
DO we still need to do something more than this.

Thanks for

Hi,

my steps are:

*) install patches
*) create lvols for oracle binaries and data
*) create group oracle
*) create user oracle
*) modify profile of oracle user by adding lines:
export HISTFILE=$HOME/.sh_history
export HISTSIZE=10000
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
export ORACLE_SID=test1
export SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/sbin
export TMPDIR=/var/tmp
export ORACLE_DOC=${ORACLE_HOME}/doc

*) modify links to X11 libs for correct ctx relink
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
