Re: oracle installation on AIX pls help

It's been a while since I've done an install on AIX, but I believe that there's a rootrpre.sh script that has to be run before running the installer. I don't think it prevents the installer from starting, but it needs to be done in order to have a successful install.

Hi Nilesh,  

I believe that you are facing problem with the user. I think you are trying to run the installer as root or someother user. First part, Check whether you have created an Oracle user and included this in to DBA group.Secondly , Login as "Oracle" user and try running the runinstaller.sh, it should work. Even I had similar kind of problem and could resolve the issue by doing this. Let us know if any further problems exists.  

reg,

Chances are that the installer window is being displayed on the system console (but I expect that you aren't doing the install from the system console.

Nilesh,  

If the command is hanging, you probably have not set the ip address correctly. Make sure that the ip address that you are providing when setting DISPLAY is the ip of the machine where you are running the installer. Also, you might need to run "xhost +" to allow client to connect to the X server.

Before Oracle installation we have to do some preinstallation checks.

One such check is to verify whether Xwindows application is properly configured. To do that we have to issue the command

xhost [ipaddress/hostname of the server]. eg : xhost 192.168.64.118 or xhost hcm_trng.

When we issued the above command, we are getting the message "1356-200 unable to open DISPLAY".

Actually we have to set the DISPLAY (It's a environemt variable) before issuing xhost command.

We set the DISPLAY as shown below.

DISPLAY=192.168.64.118:0.0 ;export DISPLAY

Even this was not resolving the error.
The above problem was resolved

Now we are getting the below problem.
Just to update you about this issue.Now the below mentioned problem is resolved but the installer

is getting stuck with the message

"INFO: Created system preferences directory in java.home".

None of the windows application is getting started.There are utilties like xclock which is not getting displayed.
