Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Installing Oracle on UNIX
Thanks Holman !
I was able to rsolve it by running the installer from the staging area on
DISK -where I copied the 8.1.7 CD .I was running the installer from my 8.1.6
HOME - and hence the problems

You need to execute the runInstaller.sh script from a location other than
the CD.
ie:
/export/home/oracle$ /cdrom/runInstaller.sh
Your device is locked since you are physically in the device where you started from. This is documented in Metalink, but not in the readme docs that come with the CD.

We have oracle 8.1.6 installed on our SUN server .As part of the
upgrade
process to 8.1.7 (we decided to install into a new HOME)- I staged the 2
CD's into one of our free disks (not the existing oracle home) .Now to
run
the Installer - I took the following steps:
cd $ORACLE_HOME ( obviously the existing home 8.1.6) ./runInstaller
This brings up the installer - but when I get to the screen where I need
to
select the source and the destination for the new oracle home - It
doesn't
allow me to select the NEW staging area or the NEW Oracle Home
destination -
where I want the new software .I cannot even browse to the new source
/destination locations ??
Any help to figure this out will be appreciated !!
