Installing
and Removing Oracle8i Enterprise Edition
This section provides information for installing Oracle8i
Enterprise
Edition for Windows NT.
Specific topics discussed are:
Using Oracle
Universal Installer
Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE). The JRE is a subset of the Java Developer Kit
(JDK). To run Java applications, you need the JRE. To develop Java applications,
you need the JDK.
If you need assistance, click the Help button from any window
to display online information.
Non-Interactive
Installation
Typically, you run Oracle Universal Installer in interactive
mode. However, advanced users (such as database administrators) can also
run the installer in non-interactive or silent mode, using a response file.
This is a text file containing variables and values used by Oracle Universal
Installer during the installation process. Using the silent installation
enables you to bypass the graphical user interface (GUI) and install Oracle
products in silent mode.
To use a response file, modify the response file template
which is located in the \Response folder located at the root of
the Oracle8i Enterprise Edition CD-ROM. See the accompanying readme.txt
file for more information.
Starter
Database and Online Documentation
Installation of a starter database (for Oracle8i Enterprise
Edition only) and online documentation depends on the installation type

Important:
Running LSMINST.EXE installs Legato Storage Manager (LSM)
in C:\WIN32APP\NSR by default. If you do not want LSM installed
in this directory due to insufficient space, lack of a C: drive, etc.,
follow these instructions:
-
Copy the entire LEGATO directory from the CD-ROM to
the drive in which you want to install LSM.
-
Modify the SERVER.ISS file located in the LEGATO directory.
Change "Path=C:\WIN32APP\NSR\" to "Path=<drive>:<pathname>".
You can change either the drive name (from the default C) or the directory
pathname (from the default \WIN32APP\NSR\) or both. The Path must end with
\NSR and must not contain any spaces. Save the updated SERVER.ISS file.
-
Double click the LSMINST.EXE file icon.
-
Follow the instructions below to verify the installation.
|
When the installation is complete, the Legato Storage Manager is installed
in the C:\WIN32APP\NSR directory by default. The interface file ORASBT.DLL
is installed in the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory.
-
Verify that Legato services have started:
-
From the taskbar, choose Start > Settings > Control
Panel.
-
Double-click Services.
-

Add the Legato Storage Manager installation directory
to your system search path:
-
Open the Control Panel.
-
Double-click System.
-
Click the Environment tab.
-
Select Path from the System Variables list box.
-
Add to the Value field:
;C:\WIN32APP\NSR\BIN
where the semicolon (;) separates the new entry from the
existing entries. If you installed Legato Storage Manager in a non-default
drive or directory, replace C:\WIN32APP\NSR\BIN above with the correct
drive and pathname, where the pathname always ends in \BIN.
-
Click OK.
-
Restart your computer for all changes to take effect.

Guide for the Legato NetWorker BusinesSuite Module for Oracle to which
you are upgrading.
|
To remove Legato Storage Manager:
-
From the taskbar, choose Start > Programs > NetWorker
Group > Uninstall NetWorker.
