Continuing with Oracle install
  • su - oracle
  • /ora8/m01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/root.sh
  • Press return
  • Click okay on popup window.
  • Seems like it's taking forever for the Net8 Configuration assistant to come up... Hitting stop doesn't seem to stop it from being "in progress...". I waited a few minutes, and the Net8 Configuration assistant still did not come up. Humph. This is the kind of thing I hate about installing Oracle. I kill the Net8 process, and the installer let's be Retry. So I hit Retry. I wait a minute or two. It doesn't seem to be working. Grr.. I think a couple of years ago (on Linux 6.2) a similar thing happened to me, and I went into the log and figured out exactly what command was being executed for the Net8 assistant, and I typed it in from the command line. I'll try that now.
  • cd /ora8/m01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs
  • less installActions.log Go to the end
  • The last line should show what the command is.
  • Type in that command at the command line. But quit the Oracle installer first.
  • Voila! The Net8 Configuration Assistant appears!
  • Next
  • Directory Serving Access: No
  • Listener Name: next
  • Select protocols: next
  • Port number: next
  • More listeners: No
  • Listener config: Next
  • Naming methods: Next
  • Click finish. Yeah, we're done!
Setting up database
  • Downloaded the patch for Redhat 8 from Oracle site.
  • cd $ORACLE_HOME
  • tar xzf /tmp/glibc2.1.3-stubs.gz (not tgz)
  • ./setup_stubs Relinking the executables takes a long time.. Okay it is done.
  • dbassist
  • Welcome screen: next
  • Type of database: Custom
  • Type of application: Multipurpose
  • Concurrent users: 60
  • Mode: dedicated server mode
  • Options: next
  • Global database name: ora8, SID ora8
  • Control file: next
  • Rollback tab: size 150MB, Temporary tab: size 150MB
  • Redo log sizes to 10000 each
  • Checkpoint: next
  • Processes->100, block size->4096
  • Trace file: next
  • Save file to shell script
  • It did NOT automatically give the right name, so I had to navigate to the /ora8/m01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/assistants/dbca/jlib/ and type in the filename as sqlora8.ora
  • Edit the file in emacs as per the instructions, adding in nls_date_format and changing the number of open cursors.
  • Shut down X
  • I logged out and back in, just for fun.
  • cd /ora8/m01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/assistants/dbca/jlib
  • ./sqlora8.sh
  • I'm getting a million ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE errors. This doesn't seem good. Control-C doesn't break it. Hmm, logged in as another Oracle user and killed the process.
  • I'm going to restart just to be paranoid.
  • ./sqlora8.sh
  • Again I get the same errors. This seems to be identical to the problem that Michael is having. Any suggestions?
