11.1.0.6 install on Solaris SPARC 64bit SunOS 5.10

Hi,

Anyone done this yet?

The requirements from the installation notes specify one patch:

Patch for Solaris 10:

127111-02 SunOS 5.10: libc patch

Now this, apart from being obsolete, requires a whole host of additional patches, for example:

127111-02 requires:

118833-36
120011-14
125476-02

in themselves obsolete.

Now 118833-36 requires:

118918-13
119042-09
119254-14
119578-30 (or greater)

also all obsolete, and the list goes on.......

I appreciate that a libc upgrade is not to be taken lightly, but this is ridiculous...

A few questions:

1. Will I be able to install 11g without this patch?
2. If I have to patch it:
3. do I use the Oracle recommended obsolete patches, or the Sun recommendations?
4. what happens to my 8i, 9i and 10g installations and databases on the same machine?
5. is there a patch "bundle" I can use from Sun?

I'll be researching these questions, thought someone out there would be able to help in the meantime.

Regards.
