I had a bit of a "nightmare" with Oracle 8.0.5 and 11.0, but eventually
got it working. Basically, a couple of the install scripts have syntax
errors in them that stop the orainst installer stone dead. When I looked
at the 10.20 version of 8.0.5 (which really should have exactly the same
install scripts), the syntax errors weren't there.
Looking back at my notes, the offending scripts were:
<CD-ROM>/network/install/protocols/protocols.vrf
<CD-ROM>/network/install/protocols/protocols.ins
Since I'd copied the whole 11.0 8.0.5 CD-ROM to hard disk, it was then
a simple question of just copying over the 10.20 scripts to the 11.0
tree and re-running the installer.
Other problems with 11.0 8.0.5 included:
- Had trouble running orainst directly from the CD-ROM. You probably need
to run rpc.lockd and rpc.statd (the instructions, needless to say, don't
tell you this) because otherwise orainst hangs trying to "lock" the
CD-ROM. If that fails, do what I did and copy the whole lot over to hard
disk, which gives you the added benefit of being able to hack the install
scripts if necessary :-)
- No Legato Storage Manager on the HP-UX CD-ROMs, despite it being documented
that LSM should be on there.
- Initial DB instance (if created during install) locks your CD-ROM mount
point. You have to dbshut to unmount the CD-ROM of course.
- <CDROM>/orainst/unix.stp incorrectly specifies .sl versions of libraries
when 11.00 uses .1, .2 etc. extensions instead. Changed these:
LIBC = "/usr/lib/libc.2";
LIBMOTIF_NAME = "libXm.2";
LIBXT_NAME = "libXt.2";
LIBX11_NAME = "libX11.2";
- Bog-standard 11.00 system doesn't seem to have .sl versions for X libraries
in /usr/lib, so I created three soft-links in /usr/lib:
libX11.sl -> libX11.3
libXm.sl -> libXm.4
libXt.sl -> libXt.3
- Annoyingly, re-linking uses /opt/ansic/bin/cc and ANSI C flags for re-linking,
when it doesn't need to ! Soft-link /opt/ansic to / to "fake" the existence
of /opt/ansic/bin/cc if you don't have it.
- Be careful about old versions of aCC being installed if you are relinking
stuff. We had an old aCC that was causing problems, so I just moved it
out the way temporarily (e.g. to /opt/aCC.old) before running the installer.
- Ships with the Solaris JVM on the HP-UX CD-ROMs - duh !
