Problem with oracle 10g installation on hp-ux

[praveen..]

Hi,
I have one hp server,

model: "9000/800/rp7410"
OS: HP-UX Server B.11.11 U 9000/800 4290461787 unlimited-user license

We have oracle 9i installed on this server.
Now the DBA Team is trying to install 10gR2 64-bit on this system, they are getting the below error messages:

Hi,

you have some kernel parameters to change and some patches to install before you can install the latest version of Oracle 10g software.

I would suggest that you download and run the VALIDATE or RDA script from Metalink to verify if your environment is ready for the installation before you attempt the installation.

hope this helps!

kind regards

Hi,

I'd recommend you to install all requested patches. Re the proposed kernel changes, so I'd updates the semafores and shared memory parameters only. The rest is not critical, IMHO

[perumal_2]

Hi

Pls check the whether the patch installation recommened by Oracle pre-requisted scripts are super seeded with the latest patches already available in the system. Because the pre-requiste verification script from Oracle doesn't verify the superseeded patch sets. If it is not coverd by the super seeded patches you need to install the same. As on the kernel parameters concerned it is useful at the time of linking and at the time of DB running for better performace. It is not going to halt the installation and ofcourse you may face issues after installation and binary relinking time. So it is always recommened to have the kernel tweaked to the maximum so further down times for the kernel parameter modifications can be avoided.

TQ

Hi,
I have download the tar file for these patches "PHSS_32508,PHSS_32509,PHSS_32510".

this is a bundle.
how to install these patches?

does it requires the restart?

[Peter Godron]

Praveen,
none of these patches require a reboot. Installation Instaructions are in the patch details, for example:
http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHSS_32509&sel={hpux:11.11,}&BC=main|pdb|search|

metalink doc id Note:335035.1 describes the OUI-11108 error, the solution for which is to check the pre-requisites in doc id : Note:169706.1

[praveen..]

I tried to install these patches with "swinstall" command, Then I got this error:


The patch fileset "PHSS_32508.ACXX,r=1.0" may only be
installed upon a previously installed base fileset. The
specification for this base fileset is

excluded.

Praveen,
The patches you are trying to install are based on the idea that you have either ANSI C, aC++ or PBO compiler installed (See description of each install package
"s700_800 11.X ANSI C compiler B.11.11.16 cumulative patch ").

Can you please check all the requirements as per:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b19068/toc.htm

Other info at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi,

Seem like you don't have these products installed on your server: ANSI C, aC++

you may ignore the error messages pertaining to this.

hope this helps!

[praveen..]

So means what i need to do?


Please suggest

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi,

Try to launch the Oracle 10g installation again!

Hope you have already adjusted the kernel parameters as recommended.

How to find whether the below is installed or not?

PL/SQL native compilation, Pro*C/C++, Oracle Call Interface, Oracle C++ Call Interface, Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK)

for resolving this error, what will be the steps?

1. does first i need to install "
PL/SQL native compilation, Pro*C/C++, Oracle Call Interface, Oracle C++ Call Interface, Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK)"?

2. does i need to install the patches ?

Hi,

if you want to use the Pro-C* stuff of ORACLE you need a compiler installation for your HP-UX system, of course.

If you need C or ACXX (both need a license from HP) or both depends on your project needs.

If you have installed C and/or ACXX, then the path installation will find the corresponding base product and succeed.

hi,

The PL/SQL native compilation, Pro*C/C++, Oracle Call Interface, Oracle C++ Call Interface, Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK) are available on the Companion CD/DVD


Yes. you need to install the latest available patch for HP-UX - i think it is 10.2.0.2
