"About NTFS File System and Windows Registry Permissions" in Oracle Database Platform Guide for Microsoft Windows Itanium (64-Bit)

To ensure that the system meets these requirements, follow these steps:

1. Determine the physical RAM size. For a computer using Windows Server 2003, for example, double-click System in the Windows Control Panel and select the General tab. If the size of the physical RAM installed in the system is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.

2. Determine the size of the configured virtual memory (also known as paging file size). For a computer using Windows Server 2003, for example, open System in the Control Panel, select the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Then select the Advanced tab. The virtual memory is listed in the Virtual Memory section.
If necessary, see your operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional virtual memory.

3. Determine the amount of free disk space on the system. For a computer using Windows Server 2003, for example, double-click My Computer, right-click the drive where the Oracle software is to be installed, and select Properties.

4. Determine the amount of disk space available in the temp directory. This is equivalent to the total amount of free disk space, minus what is needed for the Oracle software to be installed.
If there is less than 125 MB of disk space available in the temp directory, then first delete all unnecessary files. If the temp disk space is still less than 125 MB, then set the TEMP or TMP environment variable to point to a different hard drive. For a computer using Windows Server 2003, for example, double-click System in the Control Panel, select the Advanced tab, and click Environment Variables.

- Follow the instructions displayed in the Oracle Universal Installer windows. If you need additional information, click Help.

- When prompted for a password, follow these guidelines:

- The password must be 8 to 30 characters long.

- Use the database character set for the password's characters, which can include the underscore (_), dollar ($), and pound sign (#) characters.

- Do not start passwords with a numeral.

- Do not use a user name for a password.

- Do not use Oracle reserved words for the password.

- Do not use change_on_install for the SYS account password.

- Do not use manager for the SYSTEM account password.

- Do not use sysman for the SYSMAN account password.

- Do not use dbsnmp for the DBSNMP account password.

- If you choose to use the same password for all the accounts, do not use change_on_install, manager, sysman, or dbsnmp as a password.

- Have the password include at least 1 alphabetic, 1 numeric, and 1 punctuation mark character

- Do not use simple or obvious words, such as welcome, account, database, and user for the password.

Note:
You must remember the passwords that you specify.

- Do not modify the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) except by using a patch provided by Oracle Support Services. Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs the Oracle-supplied version of the JRE. This version is required to run Oracle Universal Installer and several Oracle assistants.
