I am trying to install oracle 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris 8 box. When the installer
asks to insert disk 2, I cannot eject disk1. I receive a "device busy"
error. Any ideas on how to remove the first disk without botching the Oracle
install??
I have tried the following:
1. unmounting the cdrom device( result was device is busy, can not unmount)
2.use the ps command to find the guilty process and kill the process(the
device is no longer busy, but the install is botched)
3.the "oracle" user was the one who started the ./runInstaller and is
sitting on the cdrom device( I thought I could just change directories to
free up the device,but the "oracle" user's terminal window states:
initializing java virtual machine from /tmp/oraInstall/jre/bin/jre. Please
wait ....... ---- so there isn't a prompt to change to another
directory
4. I suppose I could just copy disk1 and disk2 to the hard drive and run it
from there, but there has to be a way to install Oracle from a cd.
thanks in advance for any suggestions,
