Drives speed varies you can get the dev numbers when you execute cdrecord scanbus. Note that 1. 0g R2 wont fit on a single CD since it has over 7. MB. Oracle says that the system must have at least 5. MB of RAM and 1. GB of swap space or twice the size of RAM. And for systems with more than 2 GB of RAM, the swap space can be between one and two times the size of RAM. You might also want to check out. Sizing Swap Space. For test sake I tried to install an Oracle Database 1. Type General Purpose Database on a little PC with. MB of RAM and 1 GB of swap space. I was able to get a 1. PC without. To check the size of physical memory, execute. Mem. Total procmeminfo. To check the size of swap space, execute. Swap. Total procmeminfo. You also can add temporary swap space to your system by creating a temporary swap file. Here is the procedure. To disable the temporary swap space execute the following commands. According to Oracles documentation, the Oracle Universal Installer OUI requires up to. MB of free space in the tmp directory. But OUI. checks if tmp is only greater than 8. MB. To check the space in tmp, run. If you do not have enough space in the tmp filesystem. Here is how. you can do this. Another. Filesystem tmp. Another. Filesystem tmp. Another. Filesystem tmp.

When you are done with the Oracle installation, shutdown Oracle and remove the temporary tmp directory. Another. Filesystem tmp. TMPDIRGeneral. Before you install an Oracle Database 1. RPMs. On my systems I usually install a minimum list of RPMs which usually requires the installation of additional. Oracle databases. Always ensure to use the latest RPMs and kernels For 1.

Also ensure to install the libaio 0. RPM or a newer version Otherwise the OUI prerequisite check will fail. To check if you are running the x. To check the RPMs, run. NAME VERSION RELEASE ARCHn. It is important to have these x. RPMs installed. The above command will list the architecture of each binary package. You will see that some RPMs are installed twice when you run this command x. RPM and x. 866. 4 RPM. You need to ensure that all required x. RPMs listed here are installed. For 1. 0g R2 3. 2 bit on RHEL 4 x. Oracle Database Release Notes 1. Release 2 1. 0. 2 for Linux x. EL4. compat db 4. EL4. gcc c 3. EL4. EL4. libstdc devel 3. EL4. pdksh 5. 2. Also ensure to install the libaio 0. RPM or a newer version Otherwise the OUI prerequisite check will fail.

Linux x. 86 6. 4. To check if you are running the x. To check the RPMs, run. NAME VERSION RELEASE ARCHn. It is important to have the right x. RPMs installed. The above command will list the architecture of each binary package. And as you can see in the above list, glibc devel and other RPMs are listed twice. This means that you have to install. For 1. 0g R1 3. 2 bit on RHEL 3 x. Oracle Database Installation Guide 1. Release 1 1. 0. 1 for UNIX Systems. To check the RPMs, run. For 1. 0g R1 3. 2 bit on RHEL 2. Oracle Database Installation Guide 1. Release 1 1. 0. 1 for UNIX Systems. To check these RPMs, run. The installation of an Oracle 1. Database worked fine without installing any compatibility RPMs e. However, since its listed as a requirement for RHEL 3 Id recommend. RHEL3 and on newer releases as well. Its not a requirement for RHEL 2. For RHEL 3 and RHEL 2. Make sure you have the binutils RPM installed on other releases as well like Fedora Core. NOTE OUI for x. 86 will also complain if the openmotif package is missing dont confuse it with the. Also, Red Hat changed the version naming schema from. RHEL3. 2 in RHEL3 Update 5. This seems to confuse OUI in RHEL3 U5 since it complaining that it cant find the right openmotif version. I ignored this. The openmotif 2. RHEL3. 2 is just a newer version of openmotif 2. I didnt have any problems. To check the RPM, run. Also, make sure the redhat release package is installed. Earlier versions of e. RHEL 3 didnt install. The setarch utility is new in RHEL4, RHEL3 and Fedora Core. It is used to tell the kernel to report a different architecture than. It is also used to emulate a 3. GB virtual address space for applications that dont run properly. To check the RPM, run. Installing the RPMs. R2 on RHEL AS 4 x. On my RHEL AS 4 x.
