RE: Oracle 8i On solaris

I found that the 'oinstall' group causes confusion in term of Unix file permissions. It is still not clear to me what's the advantages of having the 'oinstall' and whether it is a 'must'.

Follow the installation guide VERY CAREFULLY. Most people fail to install Oracle on Unix because they don't read the instructions. You must modify kernal parameters and do other Unix admin steps prior to installation.

One thing to ignore (at least in my opinion) -- the instruction to create an "oinstall" user. I've found this causes more trouble than it's worth when it comes to patching. Just use the "oracle" user in the "dba" group.

Go to technet.oracle.com for the installation guide.

Regards,

Diana

Hi everyone:

I am about to install Oracle 8i Enterprise on Sun Solaris version 10. Any Practical documentation or site which could help me on installing and configuring this system will be appreciated. I was away from Unix for a while. I have already checked the Oracle.com. I appreciate your help in advance.
