Hi all,
I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on HPUX11
All goes well until I get to the database creation section of the install, where I get a ORA-3114: not connected to ORACLE error
I have searched through metalink and found this article which is the same as my problem but on Solaris.
Problem Description
During a new installation of 8.1.7, while Oracle Database Configuration
Assistant was running, in the Initializing database stage, about 82% complete,
you receive the following error:
ORA-3114: not connected to ORACLE
Even running DBASSIST standalone after exiting the Installer, you still get the
same error at the same point.
Solution Description
Increase the value of the kernel parameters semmsl and semmns to
allow for an additional 150 processes.
Explanation
The Solaris installation guide says to use the following kernel parameters:
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200
The default database created by dbassist has a processes parameter of 150.
You can recalculate your semaphores to allow for 150 processes or if this
is the only instance the following /etc/system lines would be correct:
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=160
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=310

database configuration assistant dbassist install ora-3114
The problem is there kernel paramters are solaris only, what is the HPUX version of these parameters, or is there a different fix for HPUX.
Thanks,
