14.2 Installing OPS

If you are installing Oracle7 Parallel Server, refer to the Oracle7 for Sun SPARC Solaris 2.x Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 7.x. If you are installing Oracle8 Parallel Server, refer to the Oracle8 Parallel Server Concepts and Administration, Release 8.0.

14.2.1 How to Install OPS

In a Sun Cluster configuration, perform the following steps on all nodes when you install OPS.

1. Edit the /etc/system file by using your favorite text editor, for example:

   # vi /etc/system

2. Look for a line similar to the following:

   set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=10000000

3. If your Oracle documentation explains this line, then skip Step 4 and Step 5. Otherwise, perform Step 4 and Step 5.

   Note -

   The Oracle7 and Oracle8 documentation always supersedes the information in this section.

4. If the number is less than 10 million, change the number to 10 million (-10000000). Otherwise, leave the number as is.

   Depending on the size of the database, you may have to change this number later as part of the OPS installation.

5. Reboot all nodes.
