Using OUI to install Oracle9i Release 2 on an OpenVMS System

page 2 Specifications (1 of 3) PC running Xcursion and a 16 Processor GS1280 with the 2 built-in disks In the examples we booted on disk DKA0: – Oracle account is on disk DKA100. Oracle and the database will be installed on DKA100. – Install disk MUST be ODS-5. Installation uses the 9.2 downloaded from the Oracle website. It comes in a Java JAR file. Oracle ships a JRE with its product. However, you will have to install Java on OpenVMS so you can unpack the 9.2 JAR file that comes from the Oracle website Unpack the JAR file as described on the Oracle website. This will create two.BCK files.

page 3 Specifications (2 of 3) Follow the instructions in the VMS_9202_README.txt file on how to restore the 2 backup save sets. When the two backup save sets files are restored, you should end up with two directories: – [disk1] directory – [disk2] directory These directories will be in the root of a disk. In this example they are in the root of DKA100. The OUI requires X-Windows. If the Alpha system you are using does not have a graphic head, use a PC with an X-Windows terminal such as Xcursion.

page 4 Specifications (3 of 3) During this install we discovered a problem: – Instructions tell you to – This will not work because the RUNINSTALLER.COM file is not in the root of DKA100:[disk1]. – You must first copy RUNINSTALLER.COM from the dka100:[disk ] directory into dka100:[disk1]: $ Copy dka100:[disk ]runinstaller.com dka100:[disk1] From a terminal window
