# pkginfo SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWsprox SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWxwfnt SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
If your computer is missing a package, then contact your system administrator.
Check that your computer is configured to support 64-bit applications. To check this, use the following command:
# /usr/bin/isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
The output must display the "64-bit
sparcv9
applications
" line. If not, then you need to reconfigure your computer to support 64-bit applications. Check with your system administrator.
Verify that the required kernel parameters are set either to the formula shown, or to values greater than or equal to the recommended value shown in the following subsections.
Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Operating Systems
To check the kernel parameters in Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 operating systems, perform the following steps:
Open the /etc/system
file in a text editor.You need to be the root
user to edit the /etc/system
file.
Check that these parameters are set to at least the minimum values:
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
Note: For Applications tier installation, the value of thesemmni parameter must be set to 554 or higher. |
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=256
Note: For Applications tier installation, the value of thesemmns parameter must be set to 1024 or higher. |
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=1042
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set semsys:seminfo_semaem=16384
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=12
set semsys:seminfo_semume=42
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
(Solaris 8 only) set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
(Solaris 8 only) set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Note: For Applications tier installation, the value of theshmseg parameter must be set to 17 or higher. |
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
Note: For Applications tier installation, the value of theshmmni parameter must be set to 117 or higher. |
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmax=4096
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmni=3774

set msgsys:msginfo_msgmnb=360000
set rlim_fd_cur=1024
set rlim_fd_max=4117
set noexec_user_stack=1
If you changed the value of any of the parameters in the file, restart the computer for the new values to take effect.
Solaris 10 Operating Systems
To check the kernel parameters in Solaris 10 operating systems, perform the following steps:
Open the /etc/system
file in a text editor.You need to be the root
user to edit the /etc/system
file.
In Solaris 10, you are not required to make changes to the /etc/system
file to implement the System V TPC. Solaris 10 uses the resource control facility for its implementation. verify that the kernel parameters shown in Table 2 are set to values greater than or equal to the recommended value shown. The table also contains the resource controls that replace the /etc/system
file for a specific kernel parameter.
Table 2 Kernel Parameter and Resource Control Settings for Solaris 10 Systems
Parameter | Replaced by Resource Control | Recommended Value |
---|---|---|
noexec_user_stack |
NA |
1 |
semsys:seminfo_semmni |
project.max-sem-ids |
100 |
semsys:seminfo_semmsl |
project.max-sem-nsems |
256 |
shmsys:shminfo_shmmax |
project.max-shm-memory |
4294967295 |
shmsys:shminfo_shmmni |
project.max-shm-ids |
100 |
To view the current values of the resource control, enter the following commands:
# id -p // to verify the project id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) projid=1 (user.root) # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project user.root # prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project user.root
If you must change any of the current values, then perform the following:
To modify the value of max-shm-memory to 6 GB:
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 6gb -r -i project user.root
To modify the value of max-sem-ids to 256:
# prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -v 256 -r -i project user.root
If this is the first Oracle product to be installed on the computer, create an operating system group for the inventory
directory. The installer creates files in the inventory
directory to keep track of the Oracle products that are installed on the computer.
This guide uses the name oinstall
for this group.
In "Creating an Operating System User" , you will create an operating system user, and set this group to be the primary group of the user.
By having a separate group for the inventory
directory, you enable different users to install Oracle products on the computer. Users need write permission for the inventory
directory. They can achieve this by belonging to the oinstall
group.
The default name of the inventory
directory is oraInventory
.
If you are unsure if there is already an inventory
directory on the computer, look in the /home/oracle/oraInst.loc
file. This file lists the location of the inventory
directory and the group who owns it. If the file does not exist, the computer does not have Oracle products installed on it.
How to Create a Group
To create a local operating system group, use the Solaris Management Console as follows:
Set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the monitor where you want the Solaris Management Console window to appear. The format of the DISPLAY environment variable is:
hostname:display_number.screen_number
Example (C shell):
% setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0
Example (Bourne or Korn shell):
$ DISPLAY=test.mycompany.com:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Solaris Management Console.
# /usr/sadm/bin/smc
In the left frame, expand This Computer, then expand System Configuration.
Click Users. This displays the Log In window.
In the Log In window, log in as the root
user.
In the left frame, expand Users and select Groups.
Select Action, then select Add Group.
In Group Name, enter the oinstall
as the name of the group.
This step is optional. In Group ID Number field, enter an ID number for the group.
Click OK.
Using the same steps in the preceding section, create an operating system group called dba
.
When you next create an operating system user, you will set this dba
group to be the secondary group of the user.
Create an operating system user to install and upgrade Oracle products. This guide refers to this user as the oracle
user.
How to Create a User
To create a local operating system user, use the Solaris Management Console:
Set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the monitor where you want the Solaris Management Console window to appear. The format of the DISPLAY environment variable is:
hostname:display_number.screen_number
Example (C shell):
% setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0
Example (Bourne or Korn shell):
$ DISPLAY=test.mycompany.com:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Solaris Management Console.
# /usr/sadm/bin/smc
In the left frame, expand This Computer, then expand System Configuration.
Click Users. This displays the Log In window.
In the Log In window, in User Name, enter root
. In Password, enter the root password.
In the left frame, expand Users and select User Accounts.
Select Action.
Select Add User, then select With Wizard.
In User Name, enter the name of the user (oracle
). The Full Name and Description fields are optional. Click Next.
In User ID Number, accept the default value. Click Next.
Select User Must Use This Password At First Login, and enter a password for the user. Click Next.
In Primary Group, select the primary group for the user. This is the group you created earlier for the inventory directory. See "Creating an Operating System Group for the Inventory Directory" . Click Next.
In Path, enter a home directory for the user. Click Next.
Review the mail server information for the user and click Next.
Review the user information and click Finish to create the user.
To check which groups an operating system user belongs to, use the groups
command with the name of the user. For example:
# groups oracle
The operating system user who will be installing Oracle Collaboration Suite needs to set or unset the following environment variables.
Table 3 Environment Variables
Environment Variable | Set or Unset |
---|---|
DISPLAY |
Set it to the monitor where you want to the installer window to appear. |
ORACLE_HOME |
Must not be set. |
ORACLE_SID |
Must not be set. |
TNS_ADMIN |
Must not be set. |
PATH, CLASSPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
Must not contain references to directories in any Oracle home directories. |
TMP |
Optional. If unset, defaults to |
This section describes how to set environment variables:
Using the C shell:
% setenv variable_name value
Example (C shell):
% setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0
Using the Bourne or Korn shell:
$ variable_name=value; export variable_name
Example (Bourne or Korn shell):
$ DISPLAY=test.mydomain.com:0.0; export DISPLAY
This section describes some things to look out for when setting environment variables:
If you set environment variables in the .profile
file, they might not be read. To ensure that environment variables are set to the correct values, check their values in the shell where you will be running the installer.
To check the value of environment variables, use the env
command. This displays all the currently defined environment variables and their values.
prompt> env
If you use the su
command to switch users (for example, switching from the root
user to the oracle
user), check the environment variables when you are the new user because the environment variables might not be passed to the new user. This can happen even if you use su
with the -
parameter (su -
user
).
# /* root user */ # su - oracle % env
This section is applicable only if you are installing the Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure.
The Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure installs an Oracle database, which uses port 1521 by default.
To check if port 1521 is in use:
# netstat -an | grep 1521
If port 1521 is in use by a third-party application, you need to configure the application to use a different port.
If port 1521 is in use by an existing Oracle database listener, you need to stop the listener before installing the Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure.
After installation, access the Oracle Collaboration Suite Welcome page to verify that the installation was successful. The URL for the Welcome page is
http://hostname.domainname:http_port
Determine the http_port by looking in the ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini
file. The port is listed on the "Oracle HTTP Server listen port"
line.
Note: If you have multiple instances of Oracle Collaboration Suite installed on a computer, each instance has its own set of port numbers. Check theportlist.ini file in the correct Oracle home directory to be sure you are using the correct port numbers. |
