1 Reviewing Information About this Guide

Note:
This guide describes how to install Oracle Client on a system that does not have any Oracle software installed on it. If there is an existing Oracle software installation on this system, then refer to Oracle Database Client Installation Guide for HP-UX Itanium for more detailed installation instructions.

This guide describes how to complete a default installation of Oracle Database Client on a system that does not have any Oracle software installed on it. It describes how to install one of the following installation types:

- Administrator: Enables applications to connect to an Oracle Database instance on the local system or on a remote system. It also provides tools that enable you to administer Oracle Database.

- Runtime: Enables applications to connect to an Oracle Database instance on the local system or on a remote system.

- Instant Client: Enables you to install only the shared libraries required by Oracle Call Interface (OCI), Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI), Pro*C, or Java database connectivity (JDBC) OCI applications. This installation type requires much less disk space as compared to the other Oracle Database Client installation types.

Note:
You must install the software from an X Window System workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other system with X server software installed.

- If you are installing the software from an X Window System workstation or X terminal, then:

1. Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).

2. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then enter the following command to enable the remote host to display X applications on the local X server:

$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name

For example:

$ xhost somehost.us.example.com

3. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then use the ssh, rlogin, or telnet command to connect to the system where you want to install the software:

$ telnet fully_qualified_remote_host_name

4. If you are not logged in as the root user, then enter the following command to switch user to root:

$ su -
password:
#

- If you are installing the software from a PC or other system with X server software installed, then:

Note:
If necessary, refer to your X server documentation for more information about completing this procedure. Depending on the X server software that you are using, you may need to complete the tasks in a different order.

1. Start the X server software.

2. Configure the security settings of the X server software to permit remote hosts to display X applications on the local system.

3. Connect to the remote system where you want to install the software and start a terminal session on that system, for example, an X terminal (xterm).

4. If you are not logged in as the root user on the remote system, then enter the following command to switch user to root:

$ su -

5 Creating Required Operating System Group and User

The following local operating system group and user must exist on the system:

- The Oracle Inventory group (oinstall)

- The Oracle software owner (oracle)

To determine if this group and user already exist, and if required, to create them, follow these steps:

1. To determine if the oinstall group exists, enter the following command:

# more /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc

If the oraInst.loc file exists, then the output from this command is similar to the following:

inventory_loc=/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall

The inst_group parameter shows the name of the Oracle Inventory group (oinstall).

2. If necessary, enter the following command to create the oinstall group:

# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall

3. To determine whether the oracle user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command:

# id oracle

If the oracle user exists, then this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs. The output should be similar to the following, indicating that oinstall is the primary group:

uid=440(oracle) gid=200(oinstall) groups=201(dba),202(oper)

4. If necessary, complete one of the following actions:

- If the oracle user exists, but its primary group is not oinstall, then enter a command similar to the following, where the -g option specifies oinstall as the primary group and the -G option specifies any existing groups to which the oracle user belongs:

# /usr/sbin/usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle

- If the oracle user does not exist, then enter the following command to create it:

# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall [-G dba] oracle

This command creates the oracle user and specifies:

- oinstall as the primary group

- dba as an optional secondary group

5. Enter the following command to set the password of the oracle user:

# passwd oracle

6 Creating an Oracle Base Directory

Before you create an Oracle base directory, you must identify an appropriate file system with disk space.

To create the Oracle base directory:

1. Enter the following command to display information about all mounted file systems:

# bdf

This command displays information about all the file systems mounted on the system, including:

- The physical device name

- The total amount, used amount, and available amount of disk space

- The mount point directory for that file system

2. From the display, identify either one or two file systems that meet the disk space requirements mentioned earlier in this section.

3. Note the name of the mount point directory for each file system that you identified.

4. Enter commands similar to the following to create the recommended subdirectories in the mount point directory that you identified and set the appropriate owner, group, and permissions on them:

# mkdir /mount_point/oradata
# chown oracle:oinstall /mount_point/oradata
# chmod 775 /mount_point/oradata

7 Configuring the oracle User's Environment

You run Oracle Universal Installer from the oracle account. However, before you start Oracle Universal Installer you must configure the environment of the oracle user. To configure the environment, you must:

- Set the default file mode creation mask (umask) to 022 in the shell startup file.

- Set the DISPLAY environment variable.

To set the oracle user's environment:

1. Start a new terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).

2. Enter the following command to ensure that X Window applications can display on this system:

$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name

For example:

$ xhost somehost.us.example.com

3. If you are not already logged in to the system where you want to install the software, then log in to that system as the oracle user.

4. If you are not logged in as the oracle user, then switch user to oracle:

$ su - oracle

5. To determine the default shell for the oracle user, enter the following command:

$ echo $SHELL

6. Open the oracle user's shell startup file in any text editor:

- C shell (csh or tcsh):

% vi .login

7. Enter or edit the following line, specifying a value of 022 for the default file mode creation mask:

umask 022

8. If the ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, or ORACLE_BASE environment variable is set in the file, then remove the appropriate lines from the file.

9. Save the file, and exit from the editor.

10. To run the shell startup script, enter one of the following commands:

- Bash shell:

$ . ./.bash_profile

- Bourne or Korn shell:

$ . ./.profile

- C shell:

% source ./.login

11. If you are not installing the software on the local computer, then run the following command on the remote machine to set the DISPLAY variable:

- Bourne, Bash or Korn shell:

$ export DISPLAY=local_host:0.0

- C shell:

% setenv DISPLAY local_host:0.0

In this example, local_host is the host name or IP address of the local computer that you want to use to display Oracle Universal Installer.

Run the following command on the remote machine to check if the shell and the DISPLAY environmental variable are set correctly:

echo $SHELL
echo $DISPLAY

Now to enable X applications, run the following commands on the local computer:

$ xhost + fully_qualified_remote_host_name

To verify that X applications display is set properly, run a X11 based program that comes with the operating system such as xclock:

$ xclock_path

In this example, xclock_path is the directory path. For example, you can find xclock at /usr/X11R6/bin/xclocks. If the DISPLAY variable is set properly, then you can see xclock on your computer screen.

See Also:
PC-X Server or Operating System vendor documents for further assistance.

12. If you determined that the /tmp directory has less than 400 MB of free disk space, then identify a file system with at least 400 MB of free space and set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables to specify a temporary directory on this file system:

1. Use the bdf command to identify a suitable file system with sufficient free space.

2. If necessary, enter commands similar to the following to create a temporary directory on the file system that you identified, and set the appropriate permissions on the directory:

$ su - root
# mkdir /mount_point/tmp
# chmod a+wr /mount_point/tmp
# exit

3. Enter commands similar to the following to set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables:

- Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:

$ TMP=/mount_point/tmp
$ TMPDIR=/mount_point/tmp
$ export TMP TMPDIR

- C shell:

% setenv TMP /mount_point/tmp
% setenv TMPDIR /mount_point/tmp

13. Enter commands similar to the following to set the ORACLE_BASE environment variable:

- Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:

$ ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
$ export ORACLE_BASE

- C shell:

% setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle

In these examples, /u01/app/oracle is the Oracle base directory that you created or identified earlier.

14. Enter the following commands to ensure that the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN environment variables are not set:

- Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:

$ unset ORACLE_HOME
$ unset TNS_ADMIN

- C shell:

% unsetenv ORACLE_HOME
% unsetenv TNS_ADMIN

Note:
If the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set, then Oracle Universal Installer uses the value that it specifies as the default path for the Oracle home directory. However, if you set the ORACLE_BASE environment variable, then Oracle recommends that you unset the ORACLE_HOME environment variable and choose the default path suggested by Oracle Universal Installer.

15. To verify that the environment has been set correctly, enter the following commands:

$ umask
$ env | more

Verify that the umask command displays a value of 22, 022, or 0022 and the environment variables that you set in this section have the correct values.

8 Mounting the Product Disc

On most HP-UX Itanium systems, the product disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, follow these steps to mount it:

1. Switch user to root:

$ su -
password:

2. If necessary, enter the following command to unmount the currently mounted disc, then remove it from the drive:

# /usr/sbin/umount /SD_DVD

In this example, /SD_DVD is the mount point directory for the disc drive.

3. Insert the appropriate disc into the disc drive, then enter a command similar to the following to mount it:

# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz /SD_DVD

In this example, /SD_DVD is the disc mount point directory and /dev/dsk/cxtydz is the device name for the disc device, for example /dev/dsk/c0t2d0.

4. If Oracle Universal Installer is displaying the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disc mount point directory path, for example:

/SD_DVD

9 Installing Oracle Client

After configuring the oracle user's environment, start Oracle Universal Installer and install Oracle Database as follows:

Note:
If you have an existing HP-UX 11.23 installation with patch PHSS_34824 installed, then you must deinstall this patch before installing or upgrading to Oracle Database 11g Release 1. If you do not remove this patch, then Oracle Database installation fails.
