You can install Oracle Database either from the hard disk or from installation media. The following sections describes the methods for installing Oracle Database from these media:
Section 3.3.1, "Installing Oracle Database from the Hard Drive"
Section 3.3.2, "Installing Oracle Database from Install Media"
You can avoid the need to mount and unmount installation media during installation by copying the contents of each installation medium to an On-Disk Structure Level 5 (ODS-5) formatted disk. You must have enough disk space available, depending on the type of install.
Set up an X Window System environment by using the following DCL command:
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE=workstation_name or IP_address
Copy the install media files onto a hard drive. Create a directory to hold the contents of the DVD on an ODS-5 disk. For example, you may perform the following steps, replacing DISK$VMS with an appropriate ODS-5 disk name, DQA0 with the name of the DVD drive, and ORACLE with the name of the Oracle Database account:
$ CREATE/DIR DISK$VMS:[11GKIT]/OWNER=ORACLE11G $ SET DEF DISK$VMS:[11GKIT] $ MOUNT/OVER=IDENT DQA0 ! Mount DVD $ SET PROC/PARSE=EXTENDED $ COPY/READ/WRITE DQA0:[000000...]*.*;*[...]/EXCLUDE=*.SYS $ DISMOUNT DQA0
The software is now staged on disk and ready for installation using Oracle Universal Installer.
Start Oracle Universal Installer from the [11GKIT.DATABASE] directory on the hard drive. For example:
HOST25> SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/node=host01/server=3
HOST25> @DISK$VMS:[11GKIT.DATABASE.DISK1]runInstaller.com

If no errors occur during installation, then the installation is complete. To create a database instance, use Database Configuration Assistant.
Oracle Universal Installer creates the ORAINVENTORY directory the first time that it is run on a computer. It does this to keep an inventory of products that it installs on the system and an inventory of other installation information.
The location of the ORAINVENTORY directory is defined in the ORAINST.LOC file, which is located in the nodename sub directory which refers to the node where the install was done. An inventory is created the first time that an Oracle Universal Installer installation is performed on a particular system. The inventory is then detected and referenced during subsequent installation sessions.
Note:
If the same node is used, theORAINST.LOC is detected and referenced only during subsequent installation sessions. If on a cluster, this represents a problem.
Oracle suggests that you create additional nodename directories and copy the ORAINST.LOC file to them so that any node can subsequently be used for additional install actions.
The log file of the most recent installation is INSTALLACTIONS.LOG located in the [.LOGS] subdirectory of the ORAINVENTORY directory.
INSTALLACTIONSdate_time.LOG
For example:
INSTAllACTIONS 2001-02-14_09-00-56-AM.LOG
Caution:
Do not delete or manually alter theORAINVENTORY directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent Oracle Universal Installer from locating products that install on the system.
The make.log file in the ORA_ROOT:[INSTALL] directory contains a log of every make file action that is run during the installation process. The make.log file should be examined for any linker errors that may have occurred during the installation and ensure that corrective action is taken. Do not delete or alter the make.log file.
If an installation fails, then (before you attempt another installation) you may need to remove files that Oracle Universal Installer created during the last session.
To clean up after a failed installation:
Start Oracle Universal Installer.
Click De-install Products and select any products that were left after the failed installation.
Click Remove.
To complete the clean up, you may need to manually remove the ORA_ROOT directory.
