If you want more complex topologies, then read Oracle Collaboration Suite Installation Guide for Solaris Operating System for complete installation instructions.

Before installing Oracle Collaboration Suite, you should read the Oracle Collaboration Suite Release Notes for Solaris Operating System for the latest information.

Starting the Installer

To start the installer:

  1. Ensure that you have checked all the minimum requirements listed in "Checking Requirements" .

  2. Log in to the computer as a user who is a member of the Administrators group.

  3. Insert the disk:

    Insert the Oracle Collaboration Suite DVD.

  4. If your computer does not mount disks automatically, see "Mounting the DVD-ROM" for steps on mounting the DVD-ROM manually.

    If you are using Volume Manager, the DVD-ROM should mount automatically, usually on /dvd.

  5. Start the installer:

    Note:

    Do not run the installer from the mount point directory. Note the cd command in the following line. It changes your current directory to your home directory so that you do not start the installer from the mount point.

    DVD-ROM:

    # cd
    # /dvd/ocs/runInstaller
    
    

    This starts Oracle Universal Installer, through which you can install Oracle Collaboration Suite.

Mounting the DVD-ROM

Follow these steps if your computer does not automatically mount the DVD-ROM:

  1. Insert the DVD.

  2. Log in as the root user.

    # su
    Password: 
    
    
  3. Create the DVD-ROM mount point directory:

    # mkdir /dvd
    
    
  4. Mount the DVD-ROM drive on the mount point directory:

    # mount options device_name /dvd
    
    

    For example:

    # mount -r -F hsfs device_name /dvd
    
    

    You can also use the same commands and options to mount the DVD-ROM.

How to Check for Patches

To determine which patches are installed on your computer:

  1. Use the showrev command with the -p option. The following command saves the sorted output to a file called patchList.

    # showrev -p | sort > patchList
    
    
  2. Open the file in a text editor, such as vi or emacs, and search for patch numbers.

If You Need Patches

You can download patches from

http://sunsolve.sun.com.

Checking Solaris Packages

Check that your computer has the following packages:

  • SUNWarc

  • SUNWbtool

  • SUNWhea

  • SUNWlibm

  • SUNWlibms

  • SUNWsprot

  • SUNWsprox

    Note:

    This package is not required for Solaris 10 (SPARC 64-bit) installation.
  • SUNWtoo

  • SUNWi1of (the character after the "i" is the number 1, not the letter "ell")

  • SUNWxwfnt

  • SUNWi1cs (the character after the "i" is the number 1, not the letter "ell")

  • SUNWi15cs (the character after the "i" is the number 1, not the letter "ell")

To check if the required operating system packages are installed on your computer, use the following command:

# pkginfo SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWsprox SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWxwfnt SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs

If your computer is missing a package, then contact your system administrator.

Checking for 64-bit Application Support

Check that your computer is configured to support 64-bit applications. To check this, use the following command:

# /usr/bin/isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications

The output must display the "64-bit sparcv9 applications" line. If not, then you need to reconfigure your computer to support 64-bit applications. Check with your system administrator.

Checking Kernel Parameters

Verify that the required kernel parameters are set either to the formula shown, or to values greater than or equal to the recommended value shown. To check the kernel parameters:

  1. Open the /etc/system file in a text editor.You need to be the root user to edit the /etc/system file.

  2. Check that these parameters are set to at least the minimum values:

    • set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100

      Note:

      For Applications tier installation, the value of the shmseg parameter must be set to 554 or higher.
    • set semsys:seminfo_semmns=256

      Note:

      For Applications tier installation, the value of the shmseg parameter must be set to 1024 or higher.
    • set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=1042

    • set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256

    • set semsys:seminfo_semaem=16384

    • set semsys:seminfo_semopm=12

    • set rlim_fd_max=4117

    • set noexec_user_stack=1

  3. If you changed the value of any of the parameters in the file, restart the computer for the new values to take effect.

Creating 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.

In "Creating an Operating System User" , you will create an operating system user, and set this group to be the primary group of the user.

By having a separate group for the inventory directory, you enable 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 /var/opt/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.

How to Create a Group

To create a local operating system group, use the Solaris Management Console as follows:

  1. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the monitor where you want the Solaris Management Console window to appear. The format of the DISPLAY environment variable is:

    hostname:display_number.screen_number
    
    

    Example (C shell):

    % setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0
    
    

    Example (Bourne or Korn shell):

    $ DISPLAY=test.mycompany.com:0.0; export DISPLAY
    
    
  2. Start the Solaris Management Console.

    # /usr/sadm/bin/smc
    
    
  3. In the left frame, expand This Computer, then expand System Configuration.

  4. Click Users. This displays the Log In window.

  5. In the Log In window, log in as the root user.

  6. In the left frame, expand Users and select Groups.

  7. Select Action, then select Add Group.

  8. In Group Name, enter the oinstall as the name of the group.

  9. This step is optional. In Group ID Number field, enter an ID number for the group.

  10. Click OK.

Creating an Operating System Group for Database Administration

Using the same steps in the preceding section, create an operating system group called dba.

When you next create an operating system user, you will set this dba group to be the secondary group of the user.

Creating an Operating System 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 a User

To create a local operating system user, use the Solaris Management Console:

  1. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the monitor where you want the Solaris Management Console window to appear. The format of the DISPLAY environment variable is:

    hostname:display_number.screen_number
    
    

    Example (C shell):

    % setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0
    
    

    Example (Bourne or Korn shell):

    $ DISPLAY=test.mycompany.com:0.0; export DISPLAY
    
    
  2. Start the Solaris Management Console.

    # /usr/sadm/bin/smc
    
    
  3. In the left frame, expand This Computer, then expand System Configuration.

  4. Click Users. This displays the Log In window.

  5. In the Log In window, in User Name, enter root. In Password, enter the root password.

  6. In the left frame, expand Users and select User Accounts.

  7. Select Action.

  8. Select Add User, then select With Wizard.

  9. In User Name, enter the name of the user (oracle). The Full Name and Description fields are optional. Click Next.

  10. In User ID Number, accept the default value. Click Next.

  11. Select User Must Use This Password At First Login, and enter a password for the user. Click Next.

  12. In Primary Group, select the primary group for the user. This is the group you created earlier for the inventory directory. See "Creating an Operating System Group for the Inventory Directory" . Click Next.

  13. In Path, enter a home directory for the user. Click Next.

  14. Review the mail server information for the user and click Next.

  15. Review the user information and click Finish to create the user.

To check which groups an operating system user belongs to, use the groups command with the name of the user. For example:

# groups oracle

Checking Environment Variables

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, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH Must not contain references to directories in any Oracle home directories.
TMP Optional. If unset, defaults to /tmp.

How to Set Environment Variables

This section describes how to set environment variables:

Using the C shell:

% setenv variable_name value

Example (C shell):

% setenv DISPLAY test.mycompany.com:0.0

Using the Bourne or Korn shell:

$ variable_name=value; export variable_name

Example (Bourne or Korn shell):

$ DISPLAY=test.mydomain.com:0.0; export DISPLAY

Environment Variable Tips

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 that 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).

    # /* root user */
    # su - oracle
    % env
    

Checking If Port 1521 Is in Use

This section is applicable only if you are installing the 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:

# 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.

Accessing the Welcome Page

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 the portlist.ini file in the correct Oracle home directory to be sure you are using the correct port numbers.

The Welcome page provides links to these useful pages:
