Installing and Configuring Unified Messaging

This chapter describes Unified Messaging installation and configuration procedures for both new installations and upgrades. Topics covered include:

Installing Unified Messaging

Mounting the Product CD-ROM Manually

The Oracle Product Installation CD-ROM is in RockRidge format. If you are using the Solaris Volume Management software (installed by default on Sun SPARC Solaris 2.x), the CD-ROM is mounted automatically when you put it into the disk drive. If you are not using the Solaris Volume Management software, use the following procedure to mount the CD-ROM manually. You must have root privileges to mount or unmount the CD-ROM manually. Be sure to unmount the CD-ROM before removing it from the drive.

  1. Place the Product Installation CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

  2. Log in as the root user:

    $ su root
    
    
    
  3. Create a CD-ROM mount point directory:

    # mkdir mount_point_directory
    
    
    
  4. Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point directory and exit the root account:

    # mount options device_name mount_point_directory 
    # exit
    

Running the Oracle Universal Installer

  1. Log in as the user who installed oracle products on this machine and change to the installation directory on the CD-ROM:

    $ cd /cdrom/cdrom0
    
    
  2. Make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set to your display address.

    C Shell:

    % setenv DISPLAY <hostname>:0.0
    
    

    Bourne or Korn Shell:

    $ DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0;export DISPLAY
    
    
  3. Make sure xhost, while physically located on the host machine, is set to enable access to the X server on your machine. Use the following command:

    % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost +
    
    

    See the UNIX man pages for more information on xhost.

  4. From the install directory on the CD-ROM, type the following command:

    $ ./runInstaller
    
    

The ./runInstaller command launches the Oracle Universal Installer and the Welcome dialog box displays.
