Pntium 4 with win 2000?
Oracle *will* be supporting installations of all products on Pentium
IV-based machines very shortly. The old ALERT containing the clumsy
workaround has been pulled, and two new workarounds are currently being
evaluated. One of the new workarounds simply consists of renaming a
single file - symcjit.dll - and then
proceeding with the installation.
Oracle QA is currently doing ongoing testing with this issue. Below is the orig. note I beleve may be pulled shortly.
<Note:131299.1>
Oracle Installer 8.1.X Hangs on Machines with Pentium 4 Processors
This alert was modified 16-January-2001 by specifying specific Oracle
Universal
Installer Versions in the the Versions Affected section.
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines with
Pentium 4
Processors
Oracle 8.1.6
Oracle 8.1.7
Platforms Affected
Description
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version of the
Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knownissue.ht m
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it. 2. Select Properties, then the Version tab. 3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are: "Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2 Copyright (C) 1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
Possible Symptoms
Workaround
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these tools with
"-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify "-nojit"
for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating system:
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expand ed)
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Ex panded
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will not be
launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and there is
no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration Assistant
if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for the most
recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually. NOTE: the
OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one with the
most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for Net8CA, not
the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through the
installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the
ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl network\tools\netasst.cl network\tools\netca.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown below: Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit -classpath
.... this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from the Start Menu.
