Oracle9i and Patches and Instructional Technology

Preparing to Start the Installation Process

Section Overview The steps outlined in this section explain how to mount CDs to a
stage area before performing the installation.

Time Estimate The estimated time to mount the CDs is 30 minutes or less.

1. Mount CDs The software is provided on three CDROMS for HPUX and three for
Solaris.

Mount the CDs with the following mount command for your system:
HPUX> /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /dev/cdrom /SD_CDROM
Solaris> /mount –r –F hsfs device_name /cdrom

HP-UX. In order to use the HP-UX pfs_mount command, the pfs

daemon must be running. The Oracle installer for HP-UX requires
that both the NFS Server and NFS Client daemons be running in
order to access Oracle installer CDs properly. Due to the nature of
NFS, System Administrators should always know when NFS services
have been enabled on their systems. Therefore, the OIIT-TSS
Release of HP-UX 11.0 sets up the NFS Server, but it does not enable
this service. The System Administrator needs to enable the NFS
Client and NFS Server before accessing the Oracle installer CDs.

Note: /usr/sbin/ch_rc -lv -p NFS_SERVER -p NFS_CLIENT will

show you the status of your NFS Client and NFS Server. The
following should appear:
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf: NFS_SERVER=1
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf: NFS_CLIENT=1

If not, modify the file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf so that the parameters

NFS_SERVER and NFS_CLIENT both equal one.

Enter the following

ps –ef |grep pfsd

If grep returns the process running, continue with next step.

Pfsd –v
Pfsd.rpc

If not please contact TSS System Support.

April 2003 Page 7

Instructions for Installation of Office of Information
Oracle9i and Patches and Instructional Technology

The Oracle Product Installation media is in the RockRidge format.

Use a system editor to add the following line to the /etc/pfs_fstab file
Syntax
<device_file<mount_point<filesystem_type<translation_method

Example:
/dev/dsk/c5t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

Perform the following as root:

#nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

Solaris. On Solaris systems, with automounter running, when the CD

is inserted into the drive and the door is closed, the CD mounts
automatically.

2. Create Area for You can choose to install directly from CD-ROM, or copy to disk.
Disk Contents For simplicity, we assume that all the disks are copied to a file
system that is not in use by other applications. For further
instructions on mounting the CD-ROMs, consult the Oracle9i
Installation Release Guide.
Create a staging area for the contents of each CD. You’ll need about
2GB of space for all the CD contents.

Example: /oracle/stage/

Create a directory off a mount point named something like 9.0.1

Create directories under that directory named Disk1, Disk2, and

Disk3.

3. Copy Disk Copy the contents of Disk1 to the …/9.0.1/Disk1 directory.

Contents to
Correct Directory To copy the contents, use the following cpio command from the CD-
ROM drive:
% find . –depth –print | cpio –pdmu
/oracle/stage/9.0.1/Disk1

Dismount the CD when the copy is complete, using the appropriate

command for your operating system. If you need additional
assistance, contact OIIT Customer Services.

Repeat the mount step and the copy step for all disks.

April 2003 Page 8

Oracle9i and Patches and Instructional Technology

4. Establish Network Some X terminal installations have experienced problems with

Connection Reflection and Xwin32. Exceed seems to be the most reliable
software.
During testing, Exceed failed to display some of the Oracle installer
buttons properly. Eliminate this problem by setting your Exceed
software to load fonts from the server:
Start>>Programs>>Hummingbird>>Exceed>>Xconfig
Double click FONTS, click the FONT DATABASE button, and click ADD.
When the “Add Font Directory” window is displayed, ensure that the
Load radio button is selected for State, then select the Server radio
button.
When the “Add Font Server” window is displayed, enter the fully
qualified domain name of the server to which you plan to connect for
installation of Oracle products, click OK twice, click Close and then
exit the Xconfig program.

5. Log On Log in as the Oracle user.

Warning: Do not install the Oracle software as the root user.

6. Verify Environ- Verify that the following environment variables are set correctly
ment Variables before attempting to start the Oracle Installer:
HP-UX Solaris
DISPLAY DISPLAY
ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID ORACLE_SID
ORA_NLS33 ORA_NLS33
ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_BASE
TMPD **(See note) TMPD **(See note)
SHLIB_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH PATH

**If not enough space (1/2 gig) in /tmp, set the following variables
to point to a location that has sufficient space available:
Ex. TEMP setenv TEMP /u01/app/oracle/tmp

Ex. TMPDIR setenv TMPDIR /u01/app/oracle/tmp

Note: See Oracle9i Installation Guide, Chapter 2, for more

information.

April 2003 Page 9

Oracle9i and Patches and Instructional Technology

7. Install Java The Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs the Oracle-
Runtime supplied version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This
Environment
(JRE)
version is required to run the installer and several other Oracle
assistants.

HP-UX. On HP-UX, the installer prompts for the downloaded

version of Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2.x.

Solaris. On Solaris the installer installs JDK 1.2.x.

Setting Up the Database Environment

1. Check Starting Verify that your database environment is 8.1.6.3.
Point

2. Set Environment Ensure that the current Oracle environment variables are set
Variables correctly during initial database configuration:

HPUX Solaris

ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_SID ORACLE_SID

ORA_NLS33 ORA_NLS33

ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_BASE

TMPD ** TMPD**

SHLIB_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH PATH

** If not enough space (1/2 gig) in /tmp, set the following variables
to point to a location that has sufficient space available:
TEMP setenv TEMP /u01/app/oracle/tmp
TMPDIR setenv TMPDIR /u01/app/oracle/tmp

Switch back to your 8.1.6.3 environment.

3. Backup Database Perform a full database backup before performing the upgrade.

4. Turn Archiving Off If you are not running in archivelog mode, skip this section and go to
Step 5.

If you are running in archivelog mode, then execute the following

steps:

• Verify archiving is turned on:

SQL> archive log list;

• Force automatic archive of all full redo logs:

SQL> alter system archive log all;

• Shut down the database:

SQL> shutdown immediate;

April 2003 Page 15

Instructions for Installation of Office of Information
Oracle9i and Patches and Instructional Technology

• Mount the database:

SQL> startup mount;

• Turn archiving off:

SQL> alter database noarchivelog;

• Start up the database:

SQL> alter database open;

5. Avoid Running Warning: If you run out of space, you’ll get an error message and
Out of Space have to start the upgrade process over.
Prepare the system rollback segment:
SQL> alter rollback segment system storage
(maxextents 121 next 1M);

Ensure that there is plenty of space in the SYSTEM tablespace. A

minimum of 150 MB is required.
• To query current free space:
SQL> select max(bytes) from dba_free_space where
tablespace_name = ‘SYSTEM’;

• To extend datafile as needed:

SQL> alter database datafile ‘full path and file
name’ resize integer [k|m];

6. Compile Invalid Warning: Because the upgrade process will leave objects invalid,
Objects compile all invalid objects before performing the upgrade or you
will have to start the upgrade process over.
The sql script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql will
compile all invalid objects.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> @utlrp.sql

Spool out all invalid objects after running the compile script.
SQL> spool invalid_objects.log
SQL> select * from dba_objects where status =
‘INVALID’;
SQL> spool off

Note: All invalid objects should be resolved before proceeding with

the upgrade procedure unless the objects are deliberately set invalid.

Preparing to Upgrade
1. Init<sid>.ora Copy the init<sid>.ora file to init<sid>.ora.old
Changes
Copy the config<sid>.ora file to config<sid>.ora.old

Change the init<sid>.ora to reflect the following changes:

• Explicitly set JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES = 0

• Explicitly set AQ_TM_PROCESSES = 0

• Set the parameter _SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED = FALSE

• Explicitly set OPTIMIZER_MODE for Oracle 8.1.6 to RULE.

• Leave COMPATIBLE at the current setting. Setting this

parameter to 9.x.x results in an error during the upgrade.
• Explicity set REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = NONE

2. Update the oratab Update the file /etc/oratab on HPUX or /var/opt/oracle/oratab on

File Solaris to represent the new $ORACLE_HOME and disable
automatic startup:
<SID>:new $ORACLE_HOME:N

Example:
TEST:/oracle/product/9.0.1:N

3. Set Environment After you modify the /etc/oratab file for HPUX and
Variables /var/opt/oracle/oratab for Solaris, exit out of the current session as
Oracle and then log back in.
If your .login or .profile file has not been set up to execute the shell
script automatically, you should set it to do so now so that the
environment gets set up properly for the database to be upgraded.
Please verify that the environment variables are set correctly. Any
reference to Oracle directories should reflect the new 9i Oracle
Home.
