Ok, here's my current disk setup before the Oracle install and mount points:
> bash-2.05$ df -k > Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on > /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 2912943 1032110 1822575 37% / > /proc 0 0 0 0% /proc > mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab > fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd > swap 645496 40 645456 1% /var/run > swap 645784 328 645456 1% /tmp > /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 35045541 1736104 32958982 6% /export/home I downloaded the oracle 8i binaries from the Oracle site, and saved them to /export/home/oracle . oracle is the user I created to own the database after the install. It's also a member of oinstall (unix acct. setup to handle the Oracle Univ. Installer Inventory) and dba (unix acct. setup to contain both the SYSDBA & SYSOPER roles). I want to setup the mount points like this: /db/ora817/ora817home -- Oracle Binaries /db/ora817/db817 --DB files /db/ora817/oradb1 --db files of 1st db Does this seem like a good strategy? Also, how would i go about mounting these mout points? mount /db/ora817/ora817home <?> ? As u can see, i'm a little lost ... ;) After mounting these paths/locations, would i need to transfer the oracle binaries from oracle ~ to /db/ora817/db817 and do the install from there? Or would I do the install from oracle~ (/export/home/oracle) ? Also, as you can see, there is a lot of space left on /export/home but not on / . What would u guys do? ----- Original Message ----- To: "Les Ayudo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 10:11 AM > Hmmm, > > It took me about two months of reading and trying before I got this > right. > > I do not have my "play" db with me at the moment so I cannot give you > direct help. > > I can give you approx. help. > > 1) Create group "oinstall" > > 2) Create user "oracle" with group "oinstall" > > 3) Create group "osdba" > > 4) create group "osoper" > > 5) set PATH=/DB/O92iBase/O92iHome/bin ... <plus your other path which > includes > /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/<xxx> > > <xxx> stands for the directory holding the "as" and "ar" binaries > which Oracle needs. > > 6) Make sure oracle user has the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE env > ironment variables set. > > 7) Install Oracle binaries (as oracle user).
