Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) Installation On Solaris 10 (x86-64)
In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) on Solaris 10 (x86-64). The article is based on a default server installation as shown here. Alternative installations may require a different setup procedure.

- Post Installation
Download Software
Download the following software.
Unpack Files
Unzip the files.
unzip p10098816_112020_Solaris86-64_1of6.zip unzip p10098816_112020_Solaris86-64_2of6.zip
You should now have a single directory called "database" containing installation files.
Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
For example.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.135 s10-112.localdomain s10-112 loghost
Set Kernel Parameters
The Oracle 11gR2 installation requires Solaris 10 U6 or later. Check the version and update level using the following command.
# cat /etc/release Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 s10x_u9wos_14a X86 Copyright (c) 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Assembled 11 August 2010 #
As the root user, issue the following command.
projadd oracle
Append the following line to the "/etc/user_attr" file.
oracle::::project=oracle
If you've performed a default installation, it is likely that the only kernel parameter you need to alter is "max-shm-memory" to meet the minimum installation requirements. To check the current value issue the following command.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle project: 100: oracle NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT project.max-shm-memory privileged 254MB - deny - system 16.0EB max deny - #
To reset this value, make sure at least one session is logged in as the oracle user, then from the root user issue the following commands.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle # projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)" oracle
The first dynamically resets the value, while the second makes changes to the "/etc/project" file so the value is persistent between reboots.
# cat /etc/project system:0:::: user.root:1:::: noproject:2:::: default:3:::: group.staff:10:::: oracle:100::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4294967296,deny) #
Add the following lines to the "/etc/inittab" file, immediately before the entry for "startd".
tm::sysinit:/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port 9000 > /dev/console tm::sysinit:/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_largest_anon_port 65500 > /dev/console tm::sysinit:/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_smallest_anon_port 9000 > /dev/console tm::sysinit:/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_largest_anon_port 65500 > /dev/console
Append the following line to the "/etc/system" file.
set maxusers=4096
Reboot your system before attempting to install Oracle.
Setup
Check to see which of the required packages are already installed.

Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper useradd -g oinstall -G dba -d /export/home/oracle oracle mkdir /export/home/oracle chown oracle:oinstall /export/home/oracle passwd -r files oracle
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1 chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
If you have not partitioned your disks to allow a "/u01" mount point, you may want to install the software in the "/export/home/oracle" directory as follows.
mkdir -p /export/home/oracle/u01 ln -s /export/home/oracle/u01 /u01 mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1 chown -h oracle:oinstall /u01 chown -R oracle:oinstall /export/home/oracle/u01
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the ".profile" file, making sure you have set the correct ORACLE_BASE value.
# Oracle Settings TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR # Select the appropriate ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOSTNAME=s10-112.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0.2/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory.
./runInstaller
During the installation enter the appropriate ORACLE_HOME and name then continue installation. For a more detailed look at the installation process, click on the links below to see screen shots of each stage.
