This chapter describes preinstallation requirements for an Oracle9i Client installation.
This chapter contains these topics:
Most Oracle components can be installed multiple times on the same computer. However, the following components can only be installed once for each computer:
|
Notes: All Oracle7 components and all Oracle8 release 8.0.3 components are non-multiple Oracle home products. |
If you attempt to install these components a second time, Oracle Universal Installer detects that these products are already installed in another Oracle home and automatically removes them from the installation process without prompting you. The following information is logged to the installActions.log file in the c:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.
# product_name is a single oracle home product. It is already installed in currently_installed_location.
If you are performing an installation and notice that one or more single Oracle home components are not available for installation during the current session, check to see if any of these components or any previous versions of these components are installed in another Oracle home. If you want to install these in the currently selected Oracle home, then first deinstall the conflicting versions.

See Also: Appendix A, "Individual Components Available for Installation" for the installation types under which these components are installed |
The following sections list the system requirements for each installation type, each of which contain a series of individual components. Some individual components also have requirements that must be satisfied before installation. Those requirements are described in "Mandatory Individual Component Requirements".
This chapter lists system requirements for both the File Allocation Table (FAT) and NT File System (NTFS) file systems. Because of the difference in space allocation on both file systems, the hard disk requirements vary.
Oracle Corporation recommends installing on NTFS for Windows NT and Windows 2000, or FAT32 for Windows 98.
|
Important: Review the FAT and NTFS system requirements listed in this section to determine if you have enough hard disk space for installation. These values are more accurate than the hard disk values reported by the Oracle Universal Installer Installation Types window and Summary window. These windows do not include:

Administrator
Runtime
Custom
Table 2-1 describes the system requirements for Administrator and Runtime. The requirements for Custom depend upon the components selected for installation.

You must satisfy hardware and software requirements to use authentication support with Oracle components. In addition, using Oracle Advanced Security with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) requires preinstallation of a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory such as Oracle Internet Directory (provided on the component CD-ROM). |

Oracle Corporation recommends that you upgrade your client software to match the current server software. For example, if you upgrade your Oracle server to release 1 (9.0.1), then Oracle corporation recommends upgrading the client software to release 1 (9.0.1) as well. Keeping the server and client software at the same release number ensures the maximum stability for your applications. In addition, the latest Oracle client software may provide added functionality and performance enhancements that were not available with previous releases.
