Running the rootpre.sh Script

Run the rootpre.sh script only the first time you install Oracle Database on IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit).

Note:

You do not have to run the rootpre.sh script on an IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit) server that has an Oracle Database software already installed.

Use the following procedure to run the rootpre.sh script:

1. Download the Oracle Database installation image files (db_home.zip) and extract the files into a new Oracle home directory. For example:

   $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 
   $ chgrp oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 
   $ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 
   $ unzip -q /tmp/db_home.zip

2. Switch the user to root:

   $ su - root
   password:
   #

3. Run the rootpre.sh script using the following command:

   # $ORACLE_HOME/clone/rootpre.sh

4. Exit from the root account:

   # exit
