  Oracle 9i software Installation on brand new server, I need to just install the software, need not create any database on HP-UNIX 11i. So what environment variables need to be set to just install the software before I actuall run runIstaller.

Thank you very much

By calling ./runInstaller you are actually installing the binaries (software).
During the installation, you would be prompted for options.
If you select the default ones, you will get a seed database created for you ( after the software installation is done).
go for custom option.
choose NOT to create the seed/starter database and do a software only installation.

as root
set your semaphores

as oracle
set your ORACLE_HOME
set your ORACLE_BASE
set your PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:
set your DISPLAY
dont set your CLASS_PATH

and ofcourse, all details are available in documentation.

One more thing I wanted to know, to do all this, usually sys Admin would do all the configurations stuff from a telnet screen or from HP-SERVER machine? and from where would I run the runInstaller, from a telnet to HP or HP-Server machine? This is the first time I am doing Installations, so please answer my silly questions.
Thanks a lot

Whereever you want.
if directly in HP machine ( before the HP terminal)

-- set your xterm, xlibraries etc
-- set your display to your Hpmachine.
./runinstaller

if running from another Unix machine
-- in otherUnixmachine
xhost +x hpmachine
--in hpmachine
set display to OtherUnixmachine
./runstaller

for all other x-term/unix emulators (typically from a windows machine), you need a tool like EXCEED Hummingbird to bring the display to your Windows screen

Again,
First look into the installation manaual.

ALL information is clearly given.

Yes, I read the documentation, I want to confirm with you about what I understood, please correct me if I am wrong,
Say my HP-UNIX Server is : hpxxxx,
Say my PC Windows XP is : pcxxxx
Assume every thing is set up properly all the kernel parameters and oracle env variables in .profile are set correctly,
So now I run from my pcxxxx
“telnet hpxxxx” and I enter into KSH prompt “$”
there I set up my display to launch oracle universal installer by running

xhost +hpxxxx
DISPLAY=pcxxxx:0.0
Export DISPLAY

Is that correct in my case? I do not have exceed on my PC
Thanks a lot again

I dont know whether telnet supports xterm by defualt (without exceed or like tool).
GIve a try?
If you see your installer pop up to your screen, you are all set.
Try to display some gui stuff like Xclock first ( no big reason, just to check whether your DISPLAY is effective).
