In this article
I will describe the installation of Oracle Database 10g R2 64-bit on Oracle Solaris 10 64-bit.
Login with root user, open a terminal and check the physical memory by issuing following command.
/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep "Mem"
Memory should be approximately 1 GB otherwise it will fail the memory check (ignorable) during the installation as in my case.
Check the swap space available by issuing following command.
/usr/sbin/swap -l
Available swap should be approximately 1.5GB. if you have swap space less then 1.5GB you can add swap file by issuing following command.
mkfile 1024m /export/home/swapfile
swap -a /export/home/swapfile
Add the following entry in /etc/vfstab
/export/home/swapfile - - swap - no -
You can also check the space available under /tmp by issuing following command.
df -h /tmp
Check the hardware information by issuing following command.
/bin/isainfo -kv
Following should appear as the result of command above otherwise Oracle Database 10gR2 64-bit will not be installed.
64-bit amd64 kernel modules
Check the OS version installed by issuing following command.
uname -r
5.10 should appear as the result of command above.
Add following commands in /etc/system
set noexec_user_stack=1
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set shmsys:shminfo_semvmx=32767
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set shmsys:shminfo_semvmx=32767
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Check the value of max-shm-memory and max-sem-ids for the root user
prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project user.root
prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project user.root
prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project user.root
Modify these parameters as follows
prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 6gb -r -i project user.root
prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -v 256 -r -i project user.root
Create "oracle" user for installation by issuing following commands.
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper -m -d /export/home/orale -s /bin/sh oracle
passwd -r files oracle
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper -m -d /export/home/orale -s /bin/sh oracle
passwd -r files oracle
Add oracle project by issuing following command
projadd oracle
And append the following line to the "/etc/user_attr" file.
oracle::::project=oracle
Open a new terminal and login with oracle the issue following commands from root's terminal
prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)" oracle
From root user install SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs packages by issuing following commands. these packages are available in Solaris 10 DVD.
pkgadd -d /cdrom/sol_10_811_x86/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
Create database installation directories by issuing following commands
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
mkdir -p /u02/oradata
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u02/oradata
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/
chmod -R 775 /u02/oradata/
mkdir -p /u02/oradata
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u02/oradata
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/
chmod -R 775 /u02/oradata/
Login with oracle user and add following line into .profile
umask 022
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=umsapp
umask 022
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=umsapp
Now execute the .profile by issuing following commands
. ./.profile
Download Oracle Database 10gR2 10.2.0.1.0 64-bit from oracle website and extract it to some where lets say /export/home/oracle/
cd /export/home/oracle/database
./runInstaller

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole;
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba
shutdown immediate;
exit;
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop;
You can start isqlplus, database control, database and listener by issuing following commands.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start;
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba
startup;
exit;
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole;
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl start;
Insha-Allah this will help and serve the purpose. For any corrections and improvements please suggest.
