Certify - Additional Info Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition Version 8.1.7 (8i) On IBM AIX -Based Systems



Operating System: IBM AIX -Based Systems Version 5.2 (5L) Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition Version 8.1.7 (8i) N/A Version N/A
Status: Certified

Product Version Note:

Terminal Oracle8i release
To obtain Patch Sets from MetaLink, click the "Patches" button to the left. Certification Note:

Existing patch sets:

     8.1.7.1.0  (without JDBC),
     8.1.7.1.0b (includes JAVAVM, Context and JDBC),
     8.1.7.2.0
     8.1.7.3.0
     8.1.7.4.0


Oracle 8i 32-bit on AIX 5L (5.1 & 5.2)
Kernel modes AIX 5L introduces the option to run the AIX kernel in 64-bit mode. This mode is not supported, as Oracle 8i uses at least one 32-bit kernel extension. AIX-based systems must be booted with kernels in 32-bit mode.

Warning about missing "crash" during installation of Oracle 8i. The error message "crash: not found" may appear during execution of rootpre.sh on AIX 5L. This warning may be ignored. Alternatively, the warning can be avoided by creating the following script and renaming it to "/usr/sbin/crash":
#!/bin/ksh
read input
if [ X"$input" = Xle ]; then
 echo lke | /usr/sbin/kdb | \
 /usr/bin/awk '/^ *[0-9]+/ {printf("LoadList entry at 0x%s\n Name: %s\n\n",$2,$6)}
fi

Hi

It's been a while since I talked about this with the Unix guy at my previous assignment, but I think you MUST upgrade to 9i.

As AIX 4.3.3 goes out of service this year, we need to upgrade our AIX box to AIX 5.2

We have both Oracle 8.1.7(32 bit) and Oracle 9i Release 2(9.2.0.1.0) (64 bit) installed on that box.

Will upgrading to AIX 5.2 cause any problems for Oracle? Any issues etc??

John
