This guide describes how to quickly install Oracle Database Client on Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-Bit). It includes information about the following topics:
This guide describes how to complete a default installation of Oracle Database Client on a system that does not have any Oracle software installed on it. If there is an existing Oracle software installation on this system, then refer to Oracle Database Client Installation Guide for Oracle Solaris for more detailed installation instructions.
It describes how to install one of the following installation types:
Instant Client: Enables you to install only the shared libraries required by Oracle Call Interface (OCI), Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI), Pro*C, or Java database connectivity (JDBC) OCI applications. This installation type requires much less disk space as compared to the other Oracle Database Client installation types.
Administrator: Enables applications to connect to an Oracle Database instance on the local system or on a remote system. It also provides tools that enable you to administer Oracle Database.
Runtime: Enables applications to connect to an Oracle Database instance on the local system or on a remote system.
This guide does not describe how to install the Custom installation type.
Where to Get Additional Installation Information
For more detailed information about installing Oracle Database Client, refer to Oracle Database Client Installation Guide for Oracle Solaris
All these guides are available on the product disc. To access them, use a Web browser to open the welcome.htm file located in the top-level directory of the media. Platform-specific documentation is available in PDF and HTML formats in the Documentation section..
Before you install Oracle Database, you must complete several tasks as the root user. To log in as the root user, complete one of the following procedures:
|
Note: You must install the software from an X Window System workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other system with X server software installed. |
If you are installing the software from an X Window System workstation or X terminal, then:
Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).
If you are not installing the software on the local system, then enter the following command to enable the remote host to display X applications on the local X server:
$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name
For example:
$ xhost somehost.us.example.com
If you are not installing the software on the local system, then use the ssh, rlogin, or telnet command to connect to the system where you want to install the software:
$ telnet fully_qualified_remote_host_name
If you are not logged in as the root user, then enter the following command to switch user to root:
$ su - root password: #
If you are installing the software from a PC or other system with X server software installed, then:
|
Note: If necessary, refer to your X server documentation for more information about completing this procedure. Depending on the X server software that you are using, you may have to complete the tasks in a different order. |
Start the X server software.
Configure the security settings of the X server software to permit remote hosts to display X applications on the local system.
Connect to the remote system where you want to install the software, and start a terminal session on that system, for example, an X terminal (xterm).
If you are not logged in as the root user on the remote system, then enter the following command to switch user to root:
$ su - root password: #
The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:
The following are the memory requirements for installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
At least 256 MB of physical RAM.
To determine the physical RAM size, enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep "Memory size"
If the size of the physical RAM is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.
The following table describes the relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space recommendation:
|
Note: On Oracle Solaris, if you use non-swappable memory, like ISM, then you should deduct the memory allocated to this space from the available RAM before calculating swap space. |
| RAM | Swap Space |
|---|---|
| Between 0 MB and 256 MB | 3 times the size of RAM |
| Between 256 MB and 512 MB | 2 times the size of RAM |
| Between 512 MB and 2 GB | 1.5 times the size of RAM |
| Between 2 GB and 16 GB | Equal to the size of RAM |
| More than 16 GB | 16 GB |
To determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/swap -s
If necessary, refer to the operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.
To determine the available RAM and swap space, enter the following command:
# sar -r i n
where, n is the number of seconds to delay for the next iterations and i is the number of iterations you want to test.
|
IMPORTANT:
|
To determine whether the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command:
# /bin/isainfo -kv
|
Note: This command displays the processor type. Verify that the processor architecture matches the Oracle software release to install. If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system. |
The following are the disk space requirements for installing Oracle Database Client 11g Release 2 (11.2):
The minimum disk space requirement for a client install in the /tmp directory is 180 MB.
To determine the amount of disk space available in the /tmp directory, enter the following command:
# df -h /tmp
If there is less than 180 MB of free disk space available in the /tmp directory, then complete one of the following steps:
Delete unnecessary files from the /tmp directory to meet the disk space requirement.
Set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle user's environment
Extend the file system that contains the /tmp directory. If necessary, contact the system administrator for information about extending file systems.
To determine the amount of free disk space available, enter the following command:
On Oracle Solaris 10:
# df -h
| Installation Type | Requirement for Software Files |
|---|---|
| Instant Client | 220 MB |
| Administrator | 1.7 GB |
| Runtime | 1.4 GB |
Depending on the products that you intend to install, verify that the following softwares are installed on the system.
|
Note: Oracle Universal Installer performs checks on the system to verify that it meets the listed requirements. To ensure that these checks pass, verify the requirements before you start Oracle Universal Installer. |
The following, or a later version, is the operating system requirement for Oracle Database Client 11g Release 2 (11.2):

The following local operating system groups and users are required if you are installing Oracle Database:
The Oracle Inventory group (typically, oinstall)
The Oracle software owner (typically, oracle)
To determine whether these group and user exist, and if necessary, to create them, follow these steps:
To determine whether the oinstall group exists, enter the following command:
# more /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
If the output of this command shows the oinstall group name, then the group exists.
If the oraInst.loc file exists, then the output from this command is similar to the following:
inventory_loc=/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory inst_group=oinstall
The inst_group parameter shows the name of the Oracle Inventory group, oinstall.
If necessary, enter the following commands to create the oinstall group:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
To determine whether the oracle user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command:
# id -a oracle
If the oracle user exists, this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs. The output should be similar to the following, indicating that oinstall is the primary group and dba is a secondary group:
uid=440(oracle) gid=200(oinstall) groups=201(dba),202(oper)
If necessary, complete one of the following actions:
If the oracle user exists, but its primary group is not oinstall or it is not a member of the dba group, then enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
If the oracle user does not exist, enter the following command to create it:
# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall [-G dba] oracle
This command creates the oracle user and specifies oinstall as the primary group and dba as an optional secondary group.
Enter the following command to set the password of the oracle user:
# passwd -r files oracle
Create directories with names similar to the following, and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for them:
The Oracle base directory
An optional Oracle data file directory
Before you create an Oracle base directory, you must identify an appropriate file system with sufficient free disk space.
|
Note: If you do not want to create a separate Oracle data file directory, you can install the data files in a subdirectory of the Oracle base directory. However, this is not recommended for production databases. |
To determine where to create these directories:
Enter the following command to display information about all mounted file systems:
# df -k
This command displays information about all the file systems mounted on the system, including:
The physical device name
The total amount, used amount, and available amount of disk space, in kilobytes
The mount point directory for that file system
From the display, identify either one or two file systems that meet the disk space requirements mentioned earlier in this section.
Note the name of the mount point directory for each file system that you identified.
In the following examples, /u01 is the mount point directory used for the software, and /u02 is the mount point directory used for the Oracle data file directory. You must specify the appropriate mount point directories for the file systems on your system.
To create the required directories and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for them:
|
Note: In the following procedure, replace/u01 and /u02 with the appropriate mount point directories that you identified in Step 3 previously. |
Enter the following command to create subdirectories in the mount point directory that you identified for the Oracle base directory:
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
If you intend to use a second file system for the Oracle Database files, then create an oradata subdirectory in the mount point directory that you identified for the Oracle data file directory (shown as /u02 in the examples):
# mkdir /u02/oradata
Change the owner and group of the directories that you created to the oracle user and the oinstall group:
# chown -R oracle:oinstall/u01/app/oracle # chown -R oracle:oinstall/u02/oradata
Change the permissions on the directories that you created to 775:
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle # chmod -R 775 /u02/oradata
You run Oracle Universal Installer from the oracle account. However, before you start Oracle Universal Installer, you must configure the environment of the oracle user. To configure the environment, you must:
Set the default file mode creation mask (umask) to 022 in the shell startup file.
Set the DISPLAY environment variable.
To set the oracle user's environment:
Start a new terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).
Enter the following command to ensure that X Window applications can display on this system:
$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name
For example:
$ xhost somehost.us.example.com
If you are not logged in to the system where you want to install the software, then log in to that system as the oracle user.
If you are not logged in as the oracle user, then switch user to oracle:
$ su - oracle
To determine the default shell for the oracle user, enter the following command:
$ echo $SHELL
To run the shell startup script, enter one of the following commands:
Bash shell:
$ . ./.bashQr_profile
Bourne or Korn shell:
$ . ./.profile
C shell:
% source ./.login
If you are not installing the software on the local computer, then run the following command on the remote system to set the DISPLAY variable:
Bourne, Bash or Korn shell:
$ export DISPLAY=local_host:0.0
C shell:
% setenv DISPLAY local_host:0.0
In this example, local_host is the host name or IP address of the local computer to use to display Oracle Universal Installer.
Run the following command on the remote system to check if the shell and the DISPLAY environmental variable are set correctly:
echo $SHELL echo $DISPLAY
Now to enable X applications, run the following commands on the local computer:
$ xhost + fully_qualified_remote_host_name
To verify that X applications display is set properly, run a X11 based program that comes with the operating system such as xclock:
$ xclock
In this example, you can find xclock at /usr/X11R6/bin/xclocks. If the DISPLAY variable is set properly, then you can see xclock on your computer screen.

If you determined that the /tmp directory has less than 1 GB of free disk space, then identify a file system with at least 1 GB of free space and set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables to specify a temporary directory on this file system:
To determine the free disk space on each mounted file system use the following command:
# df -h /tmp
If necessary, enter commands similar to the following to create a temporary directory on the file system that you identified, and set the appropriate permissions on the directory:
$ sudo mkdir /mount_point/tmp $ sudo chmod a+wr /mount_point/tmp # exit
Enter commands similar to the following to set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ TMP=/mount_point/tmp $ TMPDIR=/mount_point/tmp $ export TMP TMPDIR
C shell:
% setenv TMP /mount_point/tmp % setenv TMPDIR /mount_point/tmp
Enter commands similar to the following to set the ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_SID environment variables:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle $ ORACLE_SID=sales $ export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID
C shell:
% setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle % setenv ORACLE_SID sales
In this example, /u01/app/oracle is the Oracle base directory that you created or identified earlier and sales is the database name (typically no more than five characters).
Enter the following commands to ensure that the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN environment variables are not set:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ unset ORACLE_HOME $ unset TNS_ADMIN
C shell:
% unsetenv ORACLE_HOME % unsetenv TNS_ADMIN
|
Note: If theORACLE_HOME environment variable is set, then Oracle Universal Installer uses the value that it specifies as the default path for the Oracle home directory. However, if you set the ORACLE_BASE environment variable, then Oracle recommends that you unset the ORACLE_HOME environment variable and choose the default path suggested by Oracle Universal Installer. |
On most Oracle Solaris systems, the product disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, then follow these steps to mount it:
Switch user to root:
$ su - root
If necessary, enter a command similar to the following to eject the currently mounted disc, then remove it from the drive:
# eject
Insert the disc into the disc drive.
To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter a command similar to the following:
# ls /dvd/dvd0
If this command fails to display the contents of the disc, then enter a command similar to the following:
# /usr/sbin/mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 /dvd
In this example, /dvd is the disc mount point directory and /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 is the device name for the disc device, for example /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2.
If Oracle Universal Installer displays the Disk Location dialog box, then enter the disc mount point directory path. For example:
Disc mounted automatically:
/dvd/dvd0
Disc mounted manually:
/dvd
After configuring the oracle user's environment, start Oracle Universal Installer and install Oracle Database as follows:
To start Oracle Universal Installer, enter the following command:
$ /mount_point/db/runInstaller
If Oracle Universal Installer does not start, then refer to Oracle Database Client Installation Guide for Oracle Solaris for information about how to troubleshoot X Window display problems.
