C. Configure Kernel Parameter
—————————–
Note: Do not follow the official installation instruction, they contain misleading and out errors of fact!
#projadd oracle [This command will create a new ‘resource project’]
edit the /etc/user_attr file:
adm::::profiles=Log Management
lp::::profiles=Printer Management

then:
#su – oracle
$ id -p
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
The display look like this:
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 126MB – deny –

leaving the oracle user still connected in the original one Then, as root in the new terminal, you can issue this command:
#prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle [create max memory to 4GB]
As soon as you’ve issued that command, switch back to the oracle user’s session and re-issue the earlier command:
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
Note:
#prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle [this setting will lost after reboot]
to set permanently, run this: #projmod -s -K “project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)” oracle

E. 6.0 On-going Administration
——————————–
Finally, it’s time to get the web-based Enterprise Manager database administration tool up and running.
Since we’re using 10g Release 2, you should be able to launch a browser (Launch -> Web Browser) and simply navigate to : http://localhost:1158/em
If you do not know the correct port number to use, look for the following line in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini file.
in order to be able to log on as SYS with a password of whatever you supplied to the first screen of the Oracle installation wizard. In fact, getting a meaningful result at this point relies on three things having been performed successfully:
1. starting a listener (lsnrctl start)
2. opening the database (sqlplus / as sysdba then startup)
3. starting the Enterprise Manager agent (emctl start dbconsole)
F. Automating Database Startup
———————————————–
edit file “/var/opt/oracle/oratab” script to find lines with ‘Y’ at their ends
Create file “/etc/init.d/dbora”
——-

SAIFUL AZIZ's BLOG 
Very good documentation.
Hi AZIZ !
Thank you very much for this helpful installation guide for solaris x86. this is what i call a real practical and state-of-the-art guide. I printed it out and its a pretty layout as well. so thank you very much for your time and effort to publish these!
kind [ +cold!] regards from switzerland
felix
You’re welcome Felix…
Excellent documentation, I used this information on sparc systems.
Hi Aziz,
Can you provide me STEP BY STEP procedure of oracle 9.2.0.1 installation on Solaris 10 ..
Madhukar
@madhukar
Step-by-step Oracle 9.i Installation for Solaris/Unix:
1).Create a Unix group that will be used by the Oracle software owner and database administrators. You can call it anything you like, but the standard is “dba”. You can use the admintool, or you can create your dba group with a command like:
groupadd -g 300 dba
2).Create a Unix group that will be used by the Oracle software owner. You can call it anything you like, but the standard is “oinstall”. If you will be installing Oracle on multiple servers on your network, you might want to keep the groupid the same on all servers. You can use the admintool, or you can create your oinstall group with a command like:
groupadd -g 301 oinstall
3).Create a Unix user that will be the Oracle software owner. You can call it anything you like, but the standard is “oracle”.
4).Note that this user’s home directory will not be the ORACLE_HOME or where the actual Oracle software is installed; this user’s home directory should be in the same place as other users’ home directories. You should make oinstall the primary group and dba the secondary group. You can create your oracle user with the admin tool, or with commands like:
useradd -c ‘Oracle software owner’ -d /home/oracle -g oinstall -G dba -m -u 300 -s /bin/ksh oracle
#passwd oracle
5).mount CDROM:
mount -r -F hsfs device_name /cdrom
6).Set your DISPLAY variable to the IP address of your X server plus the X server and screen numbers. EXAMPLE:
xhost 10.32.25.147
DISPLAY=10.32.25.147:0.0
export DISPLAY
7).Run installer:
#su – oracle
$cd /tmp
$/cdrom/disk1/./runInstaller
8).u need to run : /tmp/orainstRoot.sh after choose the Unix Group for Oracle software owner
9).Click NEXT, and follow the screen dialog till finish
Installing Oracle 10g 10.2.0 on Solairs 10 X86 I get an error with the dbca assistant. The application gives a java exception, but other programs like netca are fine. Have yo seen anything like that before? It’s driving me crazy!
@Alice Ander
Do you mean the error is:
—————————–
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

Hi Aziz,
Thanks you very much for the excellent support you are providing.
I am new to system administration and am learning each day.
My objective is simple: Oracle 10g on opensolaris running on a virtual machine.
What I have managed till now…
opensolaris running on VirtualBox.
Followed the steps to install Oracle as per Oracle documentation.
when I run the Installer, I get the following message:

I never tried install on OpenSolaris. but, it seem your Java runtime running without libXm or font missing.
check this guide:
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=412467&tstart=0
Thanks a lot for your steps. They really worked and saved my time. Thanks Again
Hi Aziz,
I followed your instructions to install oracle on my computer, but there is an error ” can’t connect to X11 window server…”.
Please help me process this error.
Thank you very much.
Hi Aziz,
Its great that u have made out blog for task alone.else rolling eyes all over 180 pages is stressing.
Actually i’m stcuk in 2nd step , when i goto location /export/home/ there is no folder called oracle and obviously no .profile file.. is it possible to create those 2?.. if so can you send me .profile file pls or if u can suggest where can i find it, that wud be great ..
Earliest response appreciated as its needed urgently..
Cheers
Just read carefully brother, I hv explained already..
#mkdir /export/home/oracle {this command to make an ‘oracle’ directory
#chown oracle:dba /export/home/oracle {change the owner to user oracle group dba.
—
.profile is hidden file, use ‘ls -a’, then copy-paste the sample as you can see on task B. if you still can’t find .profile, repeat the step:
useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g dba -G oinstall -m -s /bin/ksh oracle
Hi Aziz,
It is really great help for me. Many many thanks.
With Thanks & Regards

Hi!
Thanks a lot for your reply. please am new in unix ans i dont know how to run this command cwconfigure.
please can please tell guide me on how to run this command.
Thanks ken
Thanks for this info, it’s great!!! Do you know how to do the same install on OpenSolaris 2008.05?
@ken
try enter the command:
pwconv
If this gives a further error, such as “pwconv: ERROR: bad entry or blank line at line 159 in /etc/passwd”, edit the passwd file and check for corruption in the line number(s) listed in the error. For instance, there may be blank lines at the end of the file. If blank lines are present, delete them and re-run pwconv.

Hi Mr. Aziz
Good ur document is nice but i need in windows X86 pls can send me to mail id.
thanks & regards

Please i want to ask if there any place i can download HP UNIX
Your site is great!!!
Are these Installation steps already tobe tested?.
Or you only copy and paste form another blog..???
Tested already on my Sun Fire X4100…
Hi , I’ve tried to install 10g on open solaris (above virtual box)
and got problem that I need to SUNWmfrun .
But i didn’t find a site where i can download this package ?
any idea what i should do ?
thanks .
I Think, SUNWmfrun package already included in your Solaris CD/DVD..
Hi Aziz. I have followed your instructions to the T. I am trying to install Oracle 10.2g on Solaris 10 x86 and I keep getting
ora-27102 out-of-memory.
I get this on the dbca command.
I have added a project, and made the max memory 16GB and I am still getting the error. Any thoughts?
First of all, check your existing memory:
#/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep “Memory size”
then check the ‘shmsys:shminfo_shmmax’ parameter in your ‘/etc/system’. If you want to resize the shared memory to 16GB, make sure your ‘shmsys:shminfo_shmmax’ support till 16GB.
Here another good post on how to fix ORA-27102: out of memory Error:
http://technopark02.blogspot.com/2006/09/solaris-10oracle-fixing-ora-27102-out.html
Cheers for a great tutorial & the help. I got it installed and everything is working as it should.
I am really in need of Oracle 9i Fundamental II and Perfomance and tuning material (ebooks)and study guide. How can I get them? I cant afford to pay for the material. I will appreciate your help.
Hii Esao,
Ask uncle Google with a keyword “Oracle 9i Fundamental II filetype:pdf’ and he will answer ur question on 0,33 second.;-)

Its seem the access error. try to change the permission of your ORACLE_HOME directory.
Exp. if your ORACLE_HOME is “ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1”
and If this directory is owned by root.root, then change the owner (start from /u01/app) to oracle.oinstall or oracle:dba
Hi Aziz,
Thanks for your prompt reply and suggestion.
However, on the permission side, everything seems ok as I had already granted ownership yo oinstall. (See below)
drwxrwxrwx 7 oracle oinstall 512 Aug 6 13:12 staging
Any other suggestions please,
Thansk & warm regards
If your ORACLE_HOME directory already owned by oracle:oinstall, I hv no idea why this error still show up:
SEVERE:OUI-10093:The path you have specified is invalid.
Unable to create the Oracle Home you have specified.
check your “.profile” again..
Or maybe, its because you perform runinstaller by:
runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -responseFile /staging/response_file.rsp
If your goal is only to skip ‘Checking the requirements of the operating system’, I don’t know why you put more option there, try to run the installer only with ‘-ignoreSysPrereqs’ option.
$./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
Hi Aziz,
Thanks for your reply.
I gave up and did the installation DB config assistant GUi instead after doing a complete cleanup. It went through fine
Thanks again

best regards
Just open the error log on “/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/anslsrmg08_orcl/sysman/log”, it will show you what the problem is..
Aziz,
Great breakdown.
I was trying to automate how to start multiple Enterprise Managers. Is there a way to do it at startup?
Is there any expert who can answer jeff’s Question?.
but as far as I know, One instance of OEM can use only one port. so if you need to run multiple enterprise manager, you need to run ’emca -r’ to reconfigure your OEM and assign the next available PORT.
and also If you need another OEM using another port you have to do this in another Oracle Home, because the port and other details are set in the sysman configuration files.
then, you need to create the run control script in ‘/etc/init.d’ then create 2 links to /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc2.d one starting with S, one starting with K.
I tried installing Oracle on Solaris and I had the ‘out of memory error’ while the DBCA was running. Please, what do i do?
try to run this:
#projmod -s -K “project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)” oracle
then reboot

Then, run again the ‘runinstaller’..
Hey Aziz,
I was finally able to get over that error message. The issue was with the directory names in the ISO file I was using to install Oracle. For example:
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.4.2.0.0/1/DataFiles/
is actually….
../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.4.2/1/datafiles/
Did you ever face this issue?
Finally I downloaded the latest oracle 10g from oracle, created an ISO image and started installtion. This time I was able to reach to the point where the installer window launches. But, when I click next in the first screen the following error message occurs:
-bash-3.00$ /cdrom/20081107_160341/runinstaller

Again, the error is occuring due to case mismatch on the fowllowing path

When I checked the directory path….
/tmp/OraInstall2008-11-07_04-59-55PM/oui/instImages/images.properties
is actually
/tmp/OraInstall2008-11-07_04-59-55PM/oui/instimages/images.properties
If I am not wrong Solaris is case sensitive and this is crazy that the folder names Oracle is looking for and the real directory name have different cases!!
Do you have any suggestions?
Sorry Abdul,
I don’t hv any suggestion right now.. I never faced this issue before. try to post this on Oracle Forum..

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
I am getting above problem. Can any body help me…
Hi Yasir,
1. Are you trying to run the installer through SSH session? The installer requires a X-Windows server to display. Its better to run the installer in a X-Windows session.
2. Are the X-Windows packages installed on your server?. It may be that /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo may not be present.
You can google the error message and you will be able to find a solution.
Just sharing the little knowledge I have.
Thanks,
Abdul
Hi Aziz,
I was able to overcome all the installation issues!!! and got oracle installed on the server. But the moment of happiness didn’t last for long. the dbca utility failed to create a database instance during installation and later when I tried to run it manually, it fails with the following error message:

Hi Aziz,
If its possible can you provide or point to the Oracle installation files you used.
Thanks,
Abdul
This Blog rocks! Thanks to all. Has anyone installed Oracle 10GR2 on SunOS 5.11 snv_86 running in a VirtualBox? I need to simulate a prod environment to do some load balancer testing and was hoping to do it using VMs.
Here is my first challenge. I don’t have the required packages below. Where do i get them?
ERROR: information for “SUNWsprox” was not found
ERROR: information for “SUNWi1of” was not found
ERROR: information for “SUNWi1cs” was not found
ERROR: information for “SUNWi15cs” was not found
ERROR: information for “SUNWxwfnt” was not found
Here is my second challenge. I don’t have the following patches installed. Is this an issue with OpenSolaris?
118345-03
119961-01
I am sure i will have additional questions as i work through the install. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Hi Aziz,
I am Installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10.
I am hetting following error when i am running runInstaller :

I have used projmod command to set the kernel parameters.
Can any one tell me how can I set kernel parameters in solaris 10.
Thanks in Advance for help.
Thanks and Regards

@Abdul
I got alot of Oracle Installation documentation and what I posted here only the summary .. but sorry I forgot the link.
@ Jason
Sorry, I don’tknow where to find those package for OpenSolaris
@Vivek
to configure kernel parameter, add the entries below to “/etc/system”:
————
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100

hi Aziz.
I am trying to install oracle 10gr2 on solaris 10 x86_64 bit. I have read all your configuration, error solutions and answers to participants questions. I am facing problem at user creation. I used command
useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g dba -G oinstall -m -s /bin/ksh oracle
UX: useradd: ERROR: Inconsistent password files. See pwconv(1M).
i tried to use
pwconv command, and then cwconfigure.
pwconv runs but dont happen anything on screen.
and cwconfigure disply
cwconfigure: not found
then i run
# wc -l /etc/passwd /etc/shadow result is below
17 /etc/passwd
17 /etc/shadow
34 total
after that useradd command still displyng error same.
can you please guide me clearly what to do. i m new to solaris but i worked on linux with as5, as4.
will be grateful to you for ur help.
anyone who know solution for the above problem please reply……
Ali,
try also to run “pwck”.
and make sure your ‘shadow’ and ‘passwd’ file have the same number of lines.
#vi /etc/shadow
run vi option “:set nu” >>to show line number
#vi /etc/passwd
run vi option “:set nu” >>to show line number
if still error, try to reboot your server..
dear aziz
still problem not solved.
number of lines in /etc/passwd are 17 and characters are 672 while number of lines in /etc/shadow are 17 and characters are 351.
i used “pwck” as
# pwck
nothing happen on screen. and then run useradd command again that error occurred
useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g dba -G oinstall -m -s /bin/ksh oracle
UX: useradd: ERROR: Inconsistent password files. See pwconv(1M).
can you please guide me wat to do. if need to run any command then plz tell me full command wich i should run on prompt. waiting for your help.
ali
OK,
now with a little trick.. this work on my lab. try to edit manually file “passwd” and ‘shadow’ file, insert/add any word inline 18, let’s say : ‘user’, then save the file with ‘:wq!’.
try again the useradd command. if you got error this:
pwconv: ERROR: bad entry or blank line at line 19 in /etc/passwd
pwconv: Unexpected failure. Conversion not done.
no problem, now remove word ‘user’ from ‘passwd’ file but don’t remove it from ‘shadow’ file. then run “pwconv”.
Try useradd command again.
Good luck!
Slam Aziz Brother

i am expecting any response by you.
please help

Ali,
I don’t know why you still got an error. as I said, it’s work on my lab..
try to add user, groups, shell and directory for oracle manually, instead of running (useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g oinstall -G dba -m -s /bin/ksh oracle) in one line..
Hi Aziz,
i had completed the all sysem check.now when i am trying to run the runinstaller through oracle user it saying —su: No directory!—
pls tell me steps to do in detail as i’m not aware about solaris installution.i followed the steps which u provided.pls suggest.
thanking in advance.
Nareshs
Hi,
pls check error which i got when i’m checking patch applied
ERROR: information for “SUNWsprox” was not found
pls reply that is it nessesory to pathch SUNWsprox on server or is is hardly needed ?
thanking in advance
Nareshs
Dear Mr. Aziz
Thanks a lot for this useful document.
a little note:rcfiles in Solaris 10 are hard links ( not soft) then instead of “ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K01dbora” command its better to run “ln /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K01dbora”.
also I think it makes no difference.
again Thanks , Regards
@Naresho
SUNWsprox is Sun workshop Bundled 64-bit make library, you can skip package and continue your oracle installation..
@Fereshte
thanks..
dear aziz
pls tell me how to add users manually?
directory structure created already. couldn’t find how to create user manually.
thank you for response
dear aziz.
please can you tell me how to create user manually. couldn’t find method to create user manual. i have created directory structure. but unable to create user.
please guide me.

Hi Aziz,
Thks a lot for the valuable info.
I was missing the SUNWuiu8 package on my system and was getting the error mentioned in your blog.
Thks to the blog, I could get the solution quickly and probably saved tons of debug time late in the night
Hi Aziz
good work here. I’m new in SunOS but I have to prepare an installation of oracle 10c on a opensolaris 10.9 (SunOS 5.11). I follow this post and everything seems to work properly – except that I had to ignore SysPrereqs. I’m still waiting the and of installer :).
As I said I’m new and so I ask you (as you say to do in C paragraph) what is a ‘resource project’ in SunOS philosophy.
Thanks
thank you for the uninstall process. It helped me alot 🙂
Dear Aziz
How can i Mount windows share drive from Solaris 10. Is you know the procedure pls let me know.

Do u have any simulation of IBM AIX or HP-UNIX pls send me the url.
Hi Aziz
Can you please explain me the detailed steps for installation of oracle 10g RAC on open Solaris on X86 machine

Wonderful documentation, helped me a lot, Thanks for your effort.
Thanks babe. This article really help me a lot. Good documentation. Great explanation. Easy to understand. Thanks you very much…i really mean it.
I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I can say with 99% certainty that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside… I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

Dear brother Aziz, I would like to thank you very much for your fast answer. just a hint : Im beginner in Unix and this is the first time i install oracle 10g on Soalris 10 under virtual machine.

Don’t run the installer as root. Just run the installer in oracle user.
Dear Aziz, Yes already,I run it on Oracle Account, But it gives me the user is root, no such file or directory.

When I try to install Oracle 10g database I get the following error when executing setup:
“Error in writing to directory c:\docume..Please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 45 MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue.
Terri, Just ask Micro$oft if you install Oracle 10g on Windows.:-).

Hi Aziz,
Thank you for your installation Steps, Escpecially using the PRCTL command to set the project.max-shm-memory. I was able to install the database.
But i have a question, during n the initial installation phase, when checks for the Kernel parameters it fails – meaning it gives warning, i ignore it and continue the installation happens successfully to you know why i get the error message for the Kernel parameters check, everything else passes.
Thanks for your blog.
