This chapter describes how to get started with the three Oracle Collaboration Suite installations. You must follow the procedures in this chapter to ensure that the installation process is successful.
This chapter contains these topics:
Oracle Collaboration Suite includes CD-ROMs for installing the following products:
Oracle9iAS Infrastructure
Oracle Collaboration Suite information storage
Oracle Collaboration Suite
Oracle Collaboration Suite Clients
Oracle Cluster Manager version 9.2.0.3
The Oracle CD-ROMs are in ISO 9660 format with Rockridge extensions. You can either choose to install directly from the CD-ROMs, or copy the CD-ROM contents and then install from your system hard drive. You must complete the procedures required for the installation method you choose before starting Oracle Universal Installer.
For operating systems that do not support automatic mounting of CD-ROMs, the CD-ROMs must be mounted manually. You must have root privileges to mount or unmount a CD-ROM. Be sure to unmount a CD-ROM before removing it from the drive.
Refer to these mounting procedures during installation as necessary:
Mount the first CD-ROM to begin the installation. Mount the subsequent disk or disks when prompted. Use the following procedures to mount CD-ROMs.
This section contains these topics:
Mounting CD-ROMs for Solaris Operating Environment (SPARC 32-bit) with Volume Management Software
Mounting CD-ROMs for Solaris Operating Environment (SPARC 32-bit) Manually
If you are using Volume Management software (available by default on Solaris), the CD-ROM is mounted automatically to the /cdrom/volume_name directory when inserted into the CD-ROM drive. Proceed to "Starting Oracle Universal Installer".
To check if you have Volume Management software, use the following command:
$ ps -e | grep vold
If you have Volume Management software, the output must be similar to the following:
404 ? 16:03 vold
If the Volume Management software is running, the CD-ROM is mounted automatically. Use the following commands to unmount subsequent CD-ROMs:
$ cd / $ eject
After entering these commands, proceed to "Starting Oracle Universal Installer".
If no lines are returned, then Volume Management software is not running, and you must mount the CD-ROM manually. Proceed to "Mounting CD-ROMs for Solaris Operating Environment (SPARC 32-bit) Manually".
Follow these steps to mount subsequent CD-ROMs:
Follow these steps to mount the CD-ROM manually:
Place the first CD-ROM of the appropriate installation in the CD-ROM drive.
Log in as the root user and, if necessary, create a CD-ROM mount point directory by using the following commands:
$ su root # mkdir cdrom_mount_point_directory
Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point directory, and then exit the root account by using the following commands:
# mount options device_name cdrom_mount_point_directory # exit
If you are unsure of the correct device_name, consult your system administrator. Typically, the device_name is /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0. For example:
$ su root # mkdir /cdrom # mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom # exit
If you run Oracle Universal Installer while the current working directory is on the CD-ROM, follow these steps to mount the next CD-ROM:
Change directories to the root directory of your system and log in as the root user by using the following commands:
$ cd / $ su root
Unmount the CD-ROM by using the following command:
# umount cdrom_mount_point_directory
Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.
Insert and mount the next CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive by using the following command:
# mount options device_name cdrom_mount_point_directory
Enter the correct mount point in the Installation screen of Oracle Universal Installer.
Click OK to continue.
Mount the first CD-ROM of the appropriate installation to begin. Mount the subsequent disk or disks when prompted. Follow these steps to mount the Oracle CD-ROM manually:
Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
Log in as the root user and create a CD-ROM mount point directory, if one does not already exist, by using the following commands:
$ su root # mkdir cdrom_mount_point_directory
Use the following command to determine the device name:
$ ioscan -fun -C disk
The output is similar to the following:
disk 10 10/12/5.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-5701TA /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c4t2d0
If there is no entry in the /etc/pfs_fstab file for your CD-ROM device, you must add one. As the root user, use a system editor to add a line to the /etc/pfs_fstab file following this format:
device_file mount_point filesystem_type translation_method
In the preceding format, the first entry is the CD-ROM device, the second entry is the mount point, and the third entry indicates that the CD-ROM to be mounted is in ISO 9660 format with Rockridge extensions.
The device_file in this example is /etc/pfs_fstab. For a CD-ROM device with the path /etc/pfs_fstab, enter the following:
/dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0
Log in as the root user with the following command:
$ su root
Enter the following commands:
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd & # nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
Mount the CD-ROM by entering the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM
Log out of the root account.
# exit
If you run Oracle Universal Installer while the current working directory is on the CD-ROM, follow these steps to mount the next CD-ROM:
Change to the system root directory and log in as the root user:
$ cd / $ su root
To unmount the CD-ROM, use the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_umount /SD_CDROM
Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.
Insert the required CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and mount it with the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM
Enter the correct mount point in the Installation screen.
Click OK to continue.
Mount the first CD-ROM of the appropriate installation to begin. Mount the subsequent disk or disks when prompted. Use the following procedures to mount the CD-ROMs:
If you are using auto mounting software, the CD-ROM is mounted automatically to the directory specified in your auto mount configuration when you insert it into the CD-ROM drive. Proceed to "Starting Oracle Universal Installer".
To check if you have auto mounting software, use the following command:
$ ps -aux | grep automount
If you have auto mounting software, the output must be similar to the following:
root 628 0.0 0.2 1148 588 ? S 17:32 0:00 /usr/sbin/automount /misc file /etc/auto.misc
In the preceding output, the /etc/auto.misc entry defines the directory under the /misc file where the CD-ROM is to be mounted.
If the auto mounting software is running and configured properly, the CD-ROM is mounted automatically. Proceed to "Starting Oracle Universal Installer".
If no lines are returned, the auto mounting software is not running, you must mount the CD-ROM manually. Proceed to "Mounting CD-ROMs for Linux x86 Manually".
Follow these steps to mount subsequent CD-ROMs:
To mount the Oracle CD-ROM manually, use the following steps:
Place the first CD in the CD-ROM drive.
Log in as the root user and, if necessary, create a CD-ROM mount point directory by using the following commands:
$ su root # mkdir cdrom_mount_point_directory
Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point directory by using the following commands:
# mount options device_name cdrom_mount_point_directory
Exit the root account:
# exit
If you are unsure of the correct device_name, consult your system administrator. Typically, the device_name is /dev/cdrom. For example:
$ su root # mkdir /cdrom # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom # exit
If you run Oracle Universal Installer while the current working directory is in the CD-ROM, follow these steps to mount the next CD-ROM:
Change directories to the root directory of your system and log in as the root user by using the following commands:
$ cd / $ su root
Unmount the CD-ROM by using the following command:
# umount cdrom_mount_point_directory
Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.
Insert the next CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and then use the following command to mount it:
# mount cdrom_mount_point_directory
Enter the correct mount point in the Installation screen of Oracle Universal Installer.
Click OK to continue.
You can avoid the need to mount and unmount CD-ROMs during installation by copying the contents of each CD-ROM to your system hard drive. You must have a file system that is not in use by other applications and enough disk space available.
Copy each CD-ROM to your system hard drive under a directory named Disk1 for the first CD-ROM, a directory named Disk2 for the second CD-ROM, and so on (depending upon the number of the CD-ROM in the sequence of disks that comprises the set).
Start Oracle Universal Installer. Oracle Universal Installer automatically finds the contents of each CD-ROM and does not prompt for the location of any CD-ROM during the course of the installation.

See Also: Appendix B, "Installation Checklists" for the installation checklists for each installation of Oracle Collaboration Suite |
Oracle Universal Installer creates the oraInventory directory the first time it is run on a computer. The oraInventory directory keeps an inventory of products that Oracle Universal Installer installs on your computer, as well as other installation information. If you have previously installed Oracle products, then you may already have an oraInventory directory.
The UNIX group that owns Oracle Universal Installer must have permission to write to the oraInventory directory. Attempts to run Oracle Universal Installer without this permission fails. For more information, see "UNIX Group Name for the Oracle Universal Installer Inventory".
The location of oraInventory is defined in a file named oraInst.loc, the location for which depends upon your operating system, as shown in Table 5-2:
Table 5-2 Location of oraInst.loc
| Platform | oraInst.loc location |
|---|---|
| Solaris Operating Environment (SPARC 32-bit) | /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc |
| hp-ux PA-RISC (64-bit) | /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc |
| Linux x86 Intel | /etc/oraInst.loc |
The log file of the most recent installation is:
/your_base_directory/oraInventory/logs/installActionstodays_date_time.log
where your_base_directory identifier is the location for your installation files and todays_date_time is the date and time of installation.
Do not delete or manually alter the oraInventory directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent Oracle Universal Installer from locating products that you have installed on your system.
|
Note: Themake.log file in the $ORACLE_HOME/install directory contains a log of every make file action executed during the installation process. The make.log file also records any link errors during installation. Do not delete or alter the make.log file. |
When you are planning to install a subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite or Oracle9iAS Infrastructure installation on the same host, Oracle Corporation recommends the following steps:
Review Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation" for preinstallation tasks.
Do not delete or modify the directories listed in Table 5-2 for subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite installations.
Stop the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site. For more information, see the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide.
Ensure that all other previously installed Oracle Collaboration Suite instances are running when you begin installation.
Specify a different Oracle home than the first Oracle Collaboration Suite installation.
Use the same oraInventory directory for subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite installations.
Review Chapter 4, "Oracle Collaboration Suite Deployment Methods" in this guide to ensure successful coexistence of Oracle Collaboration Suite components.
