If you install Oracle Intelligent Agent, Oracle Management Server, and Oracle Enterprise Manager Client on the same computer, Oracle Corporation recommends that you use a Pentium II 400. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide for information. 2 You cannot run Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Data Migration Assistant or Oracle Database Configuration Assistant during the same installation session on a 64 MB computer. To run these assistants, answer No when asked if you want to migrate or create a database. After installation is complete and Oracle Universal Installer has exited, run these assistants. In addition, Oracle Corporation recommends that you increase virtual memory to 200 MB (modify it in the Performance tab of System Properties in the Control Panel). 3 This figure includes 6 - 26 MB for configuring the repository. See Appendix D, "Repository Sizing", of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide for information on how much you can expect your repository to grow. |
The Oracle8i Client top-level component consists of the following installation types:
The system requirements for Administrator, Programmer, and Application User are described below. The requirements for Custom depend upon the components selected for installation.

The Oracle8i Management Infrastructure top-level component consists of the following installation types:
The system requirements for Oracle Management Server and Oracle Internet Directory are described below. The requirements for Custom depend upon the components selected for installation.

Oracle Internet Directory requires Oracle8i database release 8.1.6. If this database is not installed and you select this installation type, a database is automatically installed for you. |
The following sections describe specific migration requirements:
Oracle7 and Oracle8 database migration and upgrade procedures on Windows NT are covered in Oracle8i Migration. This section describes several Windows NT-specific issues to understand before following the instructions in Oracle8i Migration.
If the database release is prior to release 7.1.3.3.6, migrate it to at least release 7.1.3.3.6 before using the Migration Utility or Oracle Data Migration Assistant to migrate it to release 8.1.6. See the documentation that accompanied your previous database release for information on how to migrate it to release 7.1.3.3.6.
If you use the Migration Utility to migrate or upgrade your Oracle database, the instructions in Oracle8i Migration prompt you to enter information at the command prompt of an Oracle tool. The command tool to use (SQL*DBA, Server Manager, or SQL*Plus) depends upon the database release from which you are migrating or upgrading. This table describes the tools to use and the method for starting these tools:
If you use the Migration Utility to migrate or upgrade your Oracle database, the instructions in Oracle8i Migration also prompt you to use the ORADIM command line tool. ORADIM is a utility for creating, starting, stopping, and modifying database instances on Windows NT. The method for starting ORADIM depends upon the database release from which you are migrating or upgrading:
See the Oracle8i Administrator's Guide for Windows NT for more information on using ORADIM.
When migrating from Oracle7 Server release 7.3.2 or 7.3.3 to release 8.1.6, install the appropriate patch of SQL*Net in the 7.3.2 or 7.3.3 Oracle home before migrating with either Oracle Data Migration Assistant or the Migration Utility. Migration fails if you do not install the appropriate versions of SQL*Net. This table describes the required SQL*Net patch releases. Obtain these patches and installation instructions from Oracle Support Services.

All Oracle Parallel Server migration and upgrade issues on Windows NT are covered in the Oracle Parallel Server Administrator's Guide for Windows NT.
This table identifies mandatory individual component requirements that must be met before installation. See Appendix A, "Individual Components Available for Installation" for the installation types with which these components can be installed. Appropriate documentation for preinstallation procedures is also identified. This table does not include Oracle Enterprise Manager component preinstallation requirements. That information is described in "Oracle Enterprise Manager Requirements".

Oracle Internet Directory |
|
|
If Oracle components are currently installed on your computer and the NLS_LANG parameter is: you must set it to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 before installing Oracle Internet Directory. If no Oracle components are installed on your computer, this parameter is automatically set during installation. To use a different language, replace the AMERICAN_AMERICA portion of the character set with the correct one for your language. See Appendix C, "National Language Support" for more information. Warning: Do not change the NLS_LANG parameter value in the registry. |
Follow these steps: |

If an Oracle8i database is installed on the same computer on which to install Oracle Internet Directory, ensure that both the database and listener are running. |

Recovery Manager |
To back up to nondisk media, Recovery Manager requires a media management layer such as Legato Storage Manager, which is included on the CD-ROM. Legato Storage Manager requires the following system configuration: |
The three main Oracle Enterprise Manager tiers (Oracle Management Server, Oracle Enterprise Manager Client, and Oracle Intelligent Agent) are installable through several of the installation types described in Appendix A, "Individual Components Available for Installation".
The system requirements for these installation types were described earlier in "Top-Level Component System Requirements". In addition to those system requirements, review the following requirements before beginning installation of Oracle Enterprise Manager:
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, DBA Management Pack, separately licensable packs, Oracle Management Server, and repository must all be of the same release. For example, you cannot use a:
The following release 2.1 components must use a release 2.1 Oracle Management Server and repository:
If the existing Oracle Management Server and repository are of a previous release, then migrate or upgrade them to the most recent release. In the case of migrating or upgrading an Oracle Management Server and repository to release 2.1, ensure that all Oracle Enterprise Manager components to use with the repository are also release 2.1. For example, do not upgrade the Oracle Management Server and repository to release 2.1 if you are still using Diagnostics Pack release 2.0 or Change Management Pack release 2.0. If you upgrade your Oracle Management Server and repository to release 2.1 before obtaining the release 2.1 pack software, you cannot use the older pack components.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Web Site provides a default Web server listener (Oracle Applications Listener release 4.0.8.1 for Windows NT). If this listener is installed, the Web site is automatically configured. You must manually start the listener (OracleHOME_NAMEAppServerListener) from the Windows NT Control Panel. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide for more information. |
If upgrading an Oracle Enterprise Manager release 2.0 repository to release 2.1 or migrating a release 1.x repository to release 2.1, back up or export the existing repository before performing a repository upgrade or migration.
If you want to install Oracle Enterprise Manager's Paging Service Agent Extensions, ensure that you install this component into an Oracle Intelligent Agent release 8.1.6 Oracle home; installing the Extensions in any other Oracle home is not supported.
