This guide is intended for users who want to install Oracle Collaboration Suite in these configurations:
Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and Applications Installation on a Single Computer
This topology installs Oracle Collaboration Suite on one computer. Both Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications are installed on the same computer.
Multiple-Computer Installation
This topology installs Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure on one computer and Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications on a separate computer.
If you want more complex topologies, read the Oracle Collaboration Suite Installation Guide for AIX Based Systems for complete installation instructions.
Before installing Oracle Collaboration Suite, you should read the Oracle Collaboration Suite Release Notes for AIX Based Systems for the latest information.
In the following instructions, the disc mount point is referred to as /DVD. If your mount point is different, substitute the correct mount point name for all references to /DVD.
To start the installer:
Ensure that you have checked all the minimum requirements listed in Checking Requirements.
Log in to the computer as the user who will install Oracle Collaboration Suite.
Insert the disk:
Insert the Oracle Collaboration Suite DVD.
If your computer does not have automount capability, see Mounting the DVD-ROM for steps on mounting the DVD-ROM manually.
Start up the installer:
|
Note: Do not run the installer from the mount point directory. Note the "cd" command below; it changes your current directory to your home directory so that you do not start up the installer from the mount point. |
DVD-ROM:
prompt> cd prompt> /DVD/collaboration_suite/runInstaller
This launches Oracle Universal Installer, through which you can install Oracle Collaboration Suite.
Follow these steps if your computer does not automatically mount the DVD-ROM:
Place the first DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
Log in as the root user and, if necessary, create a DVD mount point directory by using the following commands:
$ su - root
# mkdir dvdrom_mount_point_directory
Mount the DVD-ROM drive on the mount point directory by using the following command:
# /usr/sbin/mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cdrom /dvd
In this example, /dev/cdrom is the device name of the disc drive and /dvd is the mount point directory.
If Oracle Universal Installer displays the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disc mount point directory path, for example:
/dvd
Log out of the root account:
# exit
If you are unsure of the correct device_name, then consult your system administrator. Typically, the device_name is /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvdrom, depending on your Linux distribution. For example:
$ su root # mkdir /dvdrom # /usr/sbin/mount -t /dev/cdrom /cdrom # exit
If you run Oracle Universal Installer while the current working directory is in the DVD, then follow these steps to mount the next DVD:
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 DVD by using the following command:
# umount dvdrom_mount_point_directory
Remove the DVD from the DVD-ROM drive.
If required, insert the next DVD in to the DVD-ROM drive and then use the following command to mount it:
# /usr/sbin/mount dvdrom_mount_point_directory

Check that the following operating system packages (Authorized Problem Analysis Reports (APARs)), or later versions, are installed:
IY70159: KRTL relocation problem IY66513: Parsing of LDR_CNTRL value fails IY68989: write to mmapped space hangs
To determine whether an APAR is installed, enter a command similar to the following:
prompt> /usr/sbin/instfix -i -k "IY70159 IY66513 IY68989"
If an APAR is not installed, download it from the following Web site and install it:
Verify that the shell limits shown in the following table are set to the values shown. The procedures following the table describe how to verify and set the values.
| Shell Limit (As Shown in smit) | Recommended Formula or Value |
|---|---|
| Soft FILE size | -1 (Unlimited) |
| Soft CPU time | -1 (Unlimited)
Note: This is the default value. |
Soft DATA segment |
-1 (Unlimited) |
| Soft STACK size | -1 (Unlimited) |
To view the current value specified for these shell limits, and to change them if necessary, follow these steps:
Enter the following command:
prompt> smit chuser
In the User NAME field, enter the user name of the Oracle software owner, for example oracle.
Scroll down the list and verify that the value shown for the soft limits listed in the previous table is -1.
If necessary, edit the existing value.
When you have finished making changes, press the F10 key to exit.
Verify that the maximum number of processes allowed per user is set to 2048 or greater. The following procedure describes how to verify and set the value:
|
Note: For production systems, this value should be at least 128 plus the sum of thePROCESSES and PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS initialization parameters for each database running on the system. |
Enter the following command:
prompt> smit chgsys
Verify that the value for Maximum number of PROCESSES allowed per user is greater than or equal to 2048.
If necessary, edit the existing value.
When you have finished making changes, press the F10 key to exit.
Make sure that the ARG_MAX setting is set to the maximum value for AIX 5L as follows:
To check the ARG_MAX value setting:
prompt> getconf ARG_MAX
If the value is less than 524288, run the following command as the root user:
prompt> chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=128
You need to create operating system groups.
Create an Operating System Group for the Inventory Directory
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.By having a separate group for the inventory directory, you allow 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.
To create a local operating system group, perform the following steps as the root user:
Enter the following command:
prompt> smit security
Choose the appropriate menu items to create the oinstall group.
Press the F10 key to exit.
For more information about operating system users and groups, see your operating system documentation or contact your system administrator.
Create an Operating System Group for Database Administration
Using the same steps in the previous section, create an operating system group called dba. When you create an operating system user in the next step, 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 an User
To create the oracle operating system user as part of the oinstall group, perform the following steps as the root user:
Enter the following command:
prompt> smit security
Choose the appropriate menu items to create the oinstall group.
Press the F10 key to exit.
Set the password of the oracle user:
prompt> passwd oracle
To check which groups an operating system user belongs to, use the groups command with the name of the user. For example:
prompt> groups oracle
Using the same steps in the previous section, create an operating system group called dba. When you create an operating system user in the next step, you will set this dba group to be the secondary group of the user.
The operating system user who will be installing Oracle Collaboration Suite needs to set (or unset) the following environment variables.
Table 2 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, SHLIB_PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
Must not contain references to directories in any Oracle home directories. |
|
TMP and TMPDIR |
Optional. If unset, defaults to |
|
ORA_NLS |
Must not be set. |
This section describes how to set environment variables:
Using the C shell:
prompt> setenv variable_name value
Example (C shell):
prompt> setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0
Using the Bourne or Korn shell:
prompt> variable_name=value; export variable_name
Example (Bourne or Korn shell):
prompt> 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 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).
prompt> /* root user */ prompt> su - oracle prompt> env
This section is applicable only if you are installing 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:
prompt> 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.
See the Oracle Collaboration Suite Release Notes for AIX Based Systems for details.
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. |
