This chapter describes how to get started with Oracle Collaboration Suite installations. You must follow the procedures in this chapter to ensure that the installation process is successful.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Section 3.1, "Installing Oracle Collaboration Suite from the DVDs"
Section 3.2, "Installing Oracle Collaboration Suite from a Hard Drive"
Oracle Collaboration Suite includes DVD-ROMs for installing the following products:
Oracle Collaboration Suite
Oracle Calendar server Standalone
Oracle Voicemail & Fax and Oracle Web Conferencing Conversion Servers for Microsoft Windows
Patches (Portal, Oracle Database, and other required patches)
Oracle Collaboration Suite clients
Oracle Cluster Ready Services 10.1.0.4.2
Oracle Collaboration Suite is also shipped with three CD-ROMs that provide additional support, such as:
OracleAS Metadata Repository Creation Assistant
OracleAS Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant and Utilities
Documentation
You can either choose to install Oracle Collaboration Suite directly from the DVDs, or copy the DVD content and then install from your system hard drive. You must complete the procedures required for the installation method you choose before starting Oracle Universal Installer.
For operating systems that do not support automatic mounting of DVDs, the DVDs must be mounted manually. You must have root
privileges to mount or unmount a DVD. Be sure to unmount a DVD before removing it from the drive.
Mount the first DVD of the appropriate installation to begin. Mount the subsequent disk or disks, if required. Follow these steps to mount the Oracle DVD-ROM manually:
Place the DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
Log in as the root
user and create a DVD-ROM mount point directory, if one does not already exist, by using the following commands:
$ su root
# mkdir dvdrom_mount_point_directory
Use the following command to determine the device name:
$ ioscan -fun -C disk
The output is similar to the following:
disk 10 10/12/5.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TOSHIBA DVD-ROM XM-5701TA /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0
If there is no entry in the /etc/pfs_fstab
file for your DVD-ROM device, then you must add one. As the root
user, use a system editor to add a line to the /etc/pfs_fstab
file following this format:
device_file mount_point filesystem_type
In the preceding format, the first entry is the DVD-ROM device and the second entry indicates the mount point.
The device_file
in this example is /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
. For a DVD-ROM device with the path /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
, enter the following:
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /DVD pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0
Log in as the root
user with the following command:
$ su root
Enter the following commands:
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd & # nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
Mount the DVD by entering the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /DVD
Log out of the root
account.
# exit
If you run Oracle Universal Installer while the current working directory is on the DVD, then follow these steps to mount the next DVD:
Change to the system root directory and log in as the root
user:
$ cd / $ su root
To unmount the DVD, use the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_umount /DVD
Remove the DVD from the DVD-ROM drive.
If required, insert the required DVD in to the DVD-ROM drive and mount it using the following command:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /DVD
You can avoid the need to mount and unmount DVD-ROMs during installation by copying the contents of each DVD to your system hard drive. You must have a file system that is not in use by other applications and enough disk space available.
Copy the content of each DVD to your system hard drive under a directory named Disk1
for the first DVD, and so on (depending upon the number of the DVDs in the sequence of disks that comprises the set).
Start Oracle Universal Installer.
See Section 2.1 for hard disk requirements for your platform

Oracle Collaboration Suite uses Oracle Universal Installer to guide you through each step of the installation process. Oracle Universal Installer provides the following features:
Describes installation options for Oracle Collaboration Suite
Detects preset environment variables and configuration settings
Sets environment variables and configuration during installation
Deinstalls Oracle Collaboration Suite products
This section describes the following Oracle Universal Installer features:
Oracle Collaboration Suite creates the oraInventory
directory the first time it is run on a computer. The oraInventory
directory keeps an inventory of products that Oracle Collaboration Suite installs on your computer, as well as other installation information. If you have previously installed Oracle products, then you might already have an oraInventory
directory.
The UNIX group that owns Oracle Collaboration Suite must have permission to write to the oraInventory
directory. Attempts to run Oracle Collaboration Suite without this permission fail. For more information, refer to Section 2.5.
The location of oraInventory
is defined in a file named oraInst.loc
, located in the directory /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
/etc/oraInst.loc/etc/oraInst.loc
on your operating system.
The log file of the most recent installation is as follows:
$ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/logs/installActionstodays_date_time.log
In this specification, $ORACLE_BASE
%ORACLE_BASE% is the location for your installation files and todays_date_time
is the date and time of installation.
Do not delete or manually alter the oraInventory
directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent Oracle Universal Installer from locating products that you have installed on your system.
Note:
Themake.log
file in the ORACLE_HOME
/install
directory contains a log of every make file action executed during the installation process. The make.log
file also records any link errors during installation. Do not delete or alter the make.log
file.If you plan to install a subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite or Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure installation on the same host, Oracle recommends the following steps:
Review Chapter 2 for preinstallation tasks.
Stop the Oracle Enterprise Manager. For more information, refer to the Oracle Collaboration Suite Administrator's Guide.
Ensure that all other previously installed Oracle Collaboration Suite instances are running when you begin installation.
Specify a different Oracle home than the first Oracle Collaboration Suite installation.
Use the same oraInventory
directory for subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite installations.

Section 3.3.1To start Oracle Universal Installer, perform the following steps:
If your computer does not mount DVDs automatically, you must mount the DVD manually.
Log in as the oracle
user.
Insert the Oracle Collaboration Suite DVD-ROM in to the DVD-ROM drive.
Notes:
Ensure that you are not logged in as the root
user when you start Oracle Universal Installer. If you perform the installation with the root
user, then only the root
user will have permissions to manage Oracle Collaboration Suite.
Do not use dvd_mount_point
as your working directory when you start Oracle Universal Installer. If you do, then you cannot eject the first DVD during the installation step to insert the second DVD, if required.
Oracle recommends using the same operating system user account when installing and configuring additional Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications on the same host.
Insert the first DVD in to the DVD-ROM drive.
Run the Oracle Universal Installer using the command:
# cd# /dvdrom/runInstaller
This starts Oracle Universal Installer, through which you can install Oracle Collaboration Suite.
