Janine, thank you for the help!!!! 😊 Hmmm, I hope this patch actually works on 8.1.6.... Oh, and I also never did the original i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh or export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 when I ran the Oracle installer.

Installing the glibc patch again

  • cd $ORACLE_HOME
  • tar xzf /tmp/glibc2.1.3-stubs.gz
  • ./setup_stubs I didn't notice any error messages.
  • I'm going through the dbassist process again.
  • When I get to the part where you enter the Global Database Name (ora8) and SID (ora8), it returns an error window: The Oracle system identifier ora8 already exists. Specify another SID.

Question #1: Should I do something to clear our the ora8 that's already there, or should I type something else in?

Question #2: I have a copy of the entire /ora8 directory from my production box that was copied from last night while the database was shut down. Can I just copy that over the /ora8 directory on this production box, and be ready to go?
