This appendix provides information about software requirements for Linux Itanium It contains the following topics:
Depending on your distribution of Linux Itanium, refer to one of the following sections for information on checking the software requirements:
Software Requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0 Systems
Software Requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 Systems
Software Requirements for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Systems
Oracle does not support customized kernels or modules not supported by the Linux vendor.
Table F-1 lists the software requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0 systems and the procedure that follows the table describes how to ensure your system meets these requirements and any additional requirements for installing Oracle Content DB.
|
Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0, 4.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 are certified and supported. For the most current list of supported Linux Operating Systems, check OracleMetaLink: |

To determine whether any other package is installed, run a command similar to the following:
# rpm -q package_name
If a package is missing, download it and install it using the following command:

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0, 4.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 are certified and supported. For the most current list of supported Linux Operating Systems, check OracleMetaLink: |
To check if the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with service pack 2 or later is installed, entering the following command:
# cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (ia64)
VERSION=9
PATCHLEVEL=2
To determine the kernel version, run the following command:
prompt> uname -r
2.6.5-7.244
To determine whether any other package is installed, run a command similar to the following:
prompt> rpm -q package_name
If a package is missing, download it and install it using the following command:
prompt> rpm -i package_name
When installing a package, make sure you are using the correct architecture and optimization rpm file. To check the architecture of an rpm file, run the following command:
prompt> rpm -q package_name --queryformat "%{arch}\n"
In the following example, the glibc rpm file is suitable for an Intel architecture

Create the following symbolic link for the Perl executable if it does not already exist:
prompt> ln -sf /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
Create the following symbolic link for the fuser executable if it does not already exist:
prompt> ln -sf /bin/fuser /sbin/fuser
If the orarun package was installed on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server system, complete the following steps as the oracle user to reset the environment:
Run the following commands:
prompt> cd /etc/profile.d prompt> mv oracle.csh oracle.csh.bak prompt> mv oracle.sh oracle.sh.bak prompt> mv alljava.sh alljava.sh.bak prompt> mv alljava.csh alljava.csh.bak
Use any text editor to comment out the following line from the $HOME/.profile file:
. ./.oracle
Log out of the oracle user account.
Log into the oracle user account for the changes to take effect.
If any Java packages are installed on the system, unset the Java environment variables, for example JAVA_HOME.
|
Note: Oracle recommends that you do not install any of the Java packages supplied with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server distribution. |
Check the /etc/services file to make sure that the following port ranges are available on the system:
ports 1812-1829 required for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (console)
ports 1850-1869 required for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (RMI)
If necessary, remove entries from the /etc/services file and restart the system. To remove the entries, you can use the perl script included in the utils/3167528/ directory of DVD and in the utils/3167528/ directory on the DVD. Run the script as the root user. This script is also available as patch 3167528. This patch is available from:
http://metalink.oracle.com
If these ports are not available, the associated configuration assistants will fail during the installation.
If you use Network Information Service (NIS):
Make sure that the following line exists in the /etc/yp.conf file:
hostname.domainname broadcast
Make sure that the following line exists in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
hosts: files nis dns
Make sure that the localhost entry in the /etc/hosts file is an IPv4 entry. If the IP entry for localhost is IPv6 format, installation cannot succeed. The following example shows an IPv6 entry:
# special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback ::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
To correct this example /etc/hosts file, comment the localhost entry as follows:
# special IPv6 addresses # ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback # ::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
To comment the entries, you can use the perl script included in the utils/4015045/ directory of DVD and in the utils/4015045/ directory on the DVD. Run the script as the root user. This script is also available as patch 4015045. This patch is available from:
http://metalink.oracle.com
