Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Symbolic Links on Sun Solaris 5.8/Oracle9.2
My first question would be this "why in the world are you using 9.2.0.1,
when there is a 9.2.0.5 out for i think every darn platform".
install the binaries, patch it to 9.2.0.5 and then try it.

Has anyone encountered the following problem on Sun Sparc Solaris 5.8?
If I use symbolic links, create database stmt fails in oracle 9.2.0.1. If I
remove the soft links, create database stmt succeeds.
I am forced to remove symbolic links and use direct path for Logfiles,
system file, tempfile and undofile etc. from the create database stmt. Does
it mean that the symbolic links are not permitted in Oracle 9.2.0.1 ? I
have several 8.1.7.4 databases that use symbolic links. Do I need to change
them before upgrading to 9.2.0.1? Am I obligated to follow OFA in 9.2 ??
Please let me know if anyone has experienced the above problem.
I am on Sun Sparc Solaris 5.8.
