Verify the Environment Meets Requirements

Ensure that your environment meets all STA prerequisites.

  1. Verify that your site and the target server meet the Requirements for STA. Be sure to allocate sufficient time for the entire process.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
