Server Administration :: Unable To Use Existing OraInventory Location During Installation?
Jan 5, 2010
i am installing oracle 11g rel2 ( o/s : hp ux 11.31 ). already we have 11g rel1 installed in the machine where oracle inventory location is /oracle/oraInventory where /oracle is ORACLE_BASE directory..
cd /oracle
ls -ltr
drwxrwxr-x 4 ora11gr1 dba 8192 Aug 30 00:19 oraInventory
now when i install oracle 11g rel2 on the same machine, it should use the existing oraInventory..but it is prompting us to enter the new location for oraInventory during installation....but as per the naming convention, we need to keep inventory directory under /oracle/oraInventory only..
when i select oraInventory location as /oracle/oraInventory from wizard, iam getting below error:
[INS-32055] The Central Inventory is located in the Oracle base.
[INS-32035] Unable to create a new central inventory at the specified location.
should i uninstall the exisitng oracle 11g rel1 and then should i install rel2 (i.e what iam trying to install now ) ?if so, after instlaling rel2, then should i install rel1 ?
Oracle Database version: 11.2.0.2 / sparc / 64bit. Os Version: Solaris 10 with update 6(or more).
Requirement: OS backup (without Oracle binary/software and database) will be taken from existing server. The server will be "zoned"(container or may call virtual machine). The backup will be restored on the vm; all database related mount point will be there. Installation of same Oracle software and creation of test database.
Scenario: Before starting oracle installation i am on an OS in which the oracle software was previously installed. But the software files/binaries are not present. I am just putting the software again through installation. Now all the prerequisites are met and oracle project/user/group is already there as os is backed up from previous working setup.
Question: What should i take care for this installation?Is it will be a simple installation just running the runinstaller?

I was wondering if there is any way to know in which Tablespace and Datafile my Table is located. I have exported a table and about to delete it as i am partitioning it.
Presently have one instance, one Schema on my DB Server. Want to split the existing schema into 3 logical divisions. Have created the 3 Schemas. Through Oracle Export from the old Schema am able to Export (using wild cards) the tables and indices for each grouping and am able to Import into the new specific schema. The problem i'm having is that i cannot seem to Export the specific sequences due for each of the new schemas. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

I want to install Oracle 11g R2 in windows 2008 64 bit server. How can I know whether my server is ready to install Oracle ie is all components are available in server or any patch is to be applied etc.
I am trying to find the unix process for one of my application in the database but I am unable to view the same. To simulate, I did the following.
1. My database runs on different server. 2. I invoked "sqlplus" from another unix box to login to the database. 3. I found that the process id (ps -ef |grep sqlplus). 4. When I execute the below mentioned query it does not display the process id that I am looking for. But the osuser, username, program and machine details are correct. How can I know the process details from the database?
SELECT SYS.GV_$SESSION.OSUSER, SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.SPID, SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE, SYS.GV_$SESSION.PROGRAM, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.PROGRAM ,SYS.GV_$SESSION.SQL_ID FROM SYS.GV_$PROCESS, SYS.GV_$SESSION WHERE SYS.GV_$PROCESS.ADDR=SYS.GV_$SESSION.PADDR and SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME='TEST' and SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE like '%hostname%'

I am using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) and I want to apply January patch on 11.2.0.1.0. I have applied 3 patches. I have single Instance with ASM and Grid.
1. Applied Opatch on grid. unzip p6880880_112000_LINUX.zip -d /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
2. Validated the Oracle Inventory. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail -oh /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
3. Shut down the databases. 4. Run the prepatch script ./9655006/custom/server/9655006/custom/scripts/prepatch.sh 5. Shutdown the ASM. 6. Ran the below command to stop CSS etc. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -unlock
8. Applied Opatch on Oracle home 9. Applied Oracle patch /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/OPatch/opatch napply -oh /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db -id 10248516
8. Run the postpatch script ./9655006/custom/server/9655006/custom/scripts/postpatch.sh
9. Run the following script to enable CSS etc. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -patch /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl check has /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl check css
10. If CSS is not online ran the below command. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl modify resource "ora.cssd" -attr "AUTO_START=1" /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl modify resource "ora.diskmon" -attr "AUTO_START=1" /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl stop has /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl start has
11. Up the ASM and Databases. Ran the postinstall in GRID and Oracle. @catbundle.sql psu apply
12. Ran the below command on grid and Oracle. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
1. Let me know steps which are followed are right because I didnot see the version change after connecting to database? (for example 11.2.0.1.0 after applying I can see 11.2.0.1.4 but not changed the version). How should I know the patch is applied properly?
I have installed grid and oracle 11g on linux environment. I want to installation January patch related to grid and oracle 11g. This is the first time i m going to install the oracle 11g.
When Oracle was installed, there was an error in the server's domain name (missing a "."). Is there an easy way to fix this domain name in the Oracle installation after the fact? I know about tnsnames.ora, pfile, system parameters, and I'm pretty sure I can do emagent -config. My concern is that the "Installed Products" would not like the fact that the domain name is now "abc.proj.org" when installation was done on "abcproj.org". The /etc/hosts file had "abcproj.org", and we want to fix it to "abc.proj.org".
I need to reinstall Oracle -- is there a better way?
