Verify the Environment Meets Requirements
Ensure that your environment meets all STA prerequisites.
- Verify that your site and the target server meet the Requirements for STA. Be sure to allocate sufficient time for the entire process.
- Ensure the
/tmp
file system on the target STA server has sufficient space for the upgrade. The size of/tmp
should be at least as large as the size of your existing uncompressed STA database; a minimum of 4 GB is required, and for large databases, Oracle recommends you increase the size of/tmp
to 32 GB, at minimum. - Ensure that all required RPM packages are installed on the STA server. See Install Required Linux Packages for instructions. As a final check, the STA installer will also notify you if any packages are missing.
- Review the file system structure on the STA server and verify that the required users and groups have proper access to the locations used by the STA installer. See Table 3-1 and Users, Groups, and Locations Used by the STA Installer.
