Fellow Oracle Netters:
I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Server in AIX 4.3.3.0. I download the images from the Oracle Site: ...Disk1.cpio.gz and ....Disk2.cpio.gz
I unziped and cpio-ed them, so I have all the files and Directories needed, in /oracle/Disk1 and /oracle/Disk2.
I have prepared AIX with all the requirements listed, I have plenty of disk space, and RAM.
I run the installer and complete all the questions-entries and starts
installing, and
after a while it asks for "Disk2", I type /oracle/Disk2, and the installer
keeps asking
this no matter what I type.
Also I tried a second approach, I burned the Disk2 image in a CD and mount
it so I start the installer from
/oracle/Disk1 and then when the installer asks for Disk2, I typed
/cdrom/Disk2
(the /dev/cd0 previously mounted in /cdrom) and the same happens, the
installer
keeps asking the same question.
I checked the directories permissions of /oracle/Disk1,2 and /cdrom and are
fine,
all can read, and oracle8:dba owns them (same user running the installer)
Is this a bug in the java-based Oracle installer? Is there a practical way to get around this?
Any suggestions/ideas/comments will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
