Re: Oracle 8.1.7 install on RedHat 8.0

My installation procedure:

Prerequisites:

• oracle 8.1.7 for linux CD
• i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz available at http://server.ccl.net/cca/software /UNIX/oracle/RH7.0/copies/readme.Oracle8i.shtml (needed to re-link after installation) (thanks Irio Lavagno _at_irio.org)
• jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2 available at http://www.blackdown.org (needed to run Oracle Universal Installer) (thanks Vasileios Lourdas)

Pre-installation:

• (as root) create group dba
• (as root) create user oracle (group dba)
• (as root) install jdk118_v3 at /usr/java/jdk118_v3
• (as root) deposit i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz into the /usr/local/oracle direc tory and unpack
• (as root) hide glibc version 2.2.93 and link at version 2.1.3 (binary executables)

  (libraries)

;> cd /usr/lib
;> mkdir saved
;> mv libc.so libdl.so libm.so libpthread.so saved
;> mv libc.a libdl.a libm.a libpthread.a saved

• (as oracle) create ORACLE_HOME
  ;> cd ~
  ;> mkdir -p app/oracle/product/8.1.7
  
• (as oracle) edit file /home/oracle/.bash_profile

* (as oracle) create oraInventory directory and oraInst.log file


        ;> mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/oraInventory

        ;> cd $ORACLE_HOME


        ;> vi oraInst.loc


                inventory_loc=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/or-
                aInventory
                inst_group=dba

* (as oracle) copy Oracle CD in local dir


        ;> cp -R /mnt/cdrom /home/oracle/cdrom



* (as oracle) change JDK to run Oracle Universal Installer


        ;> vi /home/oracle/cdrom/install/oraparam.ini


        (replace JRE_LOCATION=../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/-
        1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux with)
                JRE_LOCATION=/usr/java/jdk118_v3

Installation:

• (as oracle) install Oracle
  ;> cd /home/oracle/cdrom
  ;> ./runInstaller -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
  

NOTA:
Oracle Universal Installer have no created DB after installation. (same script search JDK in standard dir
./stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux ;<) I think manually DB creation needed.

Post-installation:

• (as root) return at glibc 2.2 (binary executables)
  ;> cd /usr/bin
  ;> rm -f gcc cc ld
  ;> cd /usr/bin/saved
  ;> mv * ..
  ;> cd ..
  ;> rm -rf saved
  

  (libraries)

;> cd /usr/lib/saved
;> mv * ..
;> cd ..
;> rm -rf saved
