Installing the Oracle Database Prerequisites Packages for Oracle Solaris
Use this procedure to install the Oracle Database prerequisites group package for your Oracle software.
The
group/prerequisite/oracle/oracle-database-preinstall-19c
group package installs all the packages required for an Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation. It also creates the oracle
user and the oinstall
and dba
groups for that user.
Caution:
If you have the oracle
user and other user groups already defined, and do not want to change them, then ensure that you run the following command before you install the Oracle Database prerequisites group package:
# pkg avoid oracle-database-os-configuration
To install the oracle-database-preinstall-19c
group packages, log in as root
, and run the following command on Oracle Solaris 11.3 and later systems:
# pkg install oracle-database-preinstall-19c
Note the following guidelines about the preceding command:
- For more information about the history of the preceding command, use the
pkg history
command. Seepkg (1)
. - You do not have to specify the entire package name, only the trailing portion of the name that is unique. See
pkg(5)
. - Oracle recommends that you install the
solaris-minimal-server
group package and then installoracle-database-preinstall-19c
.
