Help needed in installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris [message #97392]

Hey,

Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The
problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the
documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After
it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility
to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the
instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and
then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment
parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME =
/export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at
/export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.

Simon

Under root user, create a temp directory in the /u02 mountpoint or datafile
mountpoint, then export the temp file as below:

#mkdir /u02/temp
#TEMP=/u02/temp; export TEMP
#TMPDIR=/u02/temp; export TMPDIR
