Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: ORACLE 8.1.7 INSTALLATION ON SOLARIS 2.7
We have recently installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 2.7. The issues we faced
were
1. The Installation is a 2 CD Install so make sure you are in root directory
when you invoke the runInstaller or else the first CD would not eject when
prompted for the second CD.
2. The values for the Unix kernel /etc/system file were incorrect in the
documentation. The Installer would hang. Then we got the right values from
Oracle.
The commented values were those suggested in the doc, they were then
corrected by Oracle
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
*set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
*set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
*set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
*set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
*set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
*set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200
*set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
*set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=250 set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100 set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=500 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=500 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=500 set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=500 set semsys:seminfo_semume=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=200 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=200
Hope that helps

We have installed 8.1.7 (32-bit) on Solaris 2.7. No problems so far.
Distribution comes on 2 CD's and you will end up with a much larger
ORACLE_HOME than with 8.1.6.
We did have a minor issue with init.ora parameter gc_rollback_locks. Oracle
expects a string here, I believe. The thing was that 8.1.6 did not have
this problem, albeit we had specified it incorrectly. This parameter
pertains to OPS. The frustrating part was figuring out which init.ora
parameter was causing the problem. If you have a bad init.ora parameter,
Oracle doesn't point you to the line number in the init.ora that's having a
problem as a compiler would do. This would definitely be a nice
enhancement. In the end, we just commented out the line containing
gc_rollback_locks, ie., used the default value.
Let me know if you need a sample init.ora (that works) when you're ready to create your 8.1.7 database.
