Hi people, Finally, I am able to run Oracle 10g on my OpenSolaris installation. :-) But it is tricky and here is how I did it:
1) I installed Solaris 10 (x86) on my another laptop. Installed & configured Oracle 10g on it successfully in /export/home/oracle. 2) Now, on my acer laptop, which has OpenSolaris on it, copied all /export/home/oracle directory recuresively. 3) Created user oracle, group DBA and make sure that in /export/home/oracle, everything is owned by oracle:dba (using chown). 4) Finally, logged in as oracle (su - oracle) and then tried to start oracle and database instance. Hurrah!!! It worked like a charm... I know that this is not the 'right' way of installation of Oracle, but installing Oracle10g on Solaris 11/ OpenSolaris is not supported ;) So.. .this is just a workaround. Let me know if it help someone. -vikas This message posted from opensolaris.org
