Nothing official from Joyent on this topic. But there used to be a wiki article on the topic, but it was too hard to maintain and due the the lack of SmartOS support from Oracle was abandoned
It will require getting the basics of getting install if not for the feint of heart. Here is the unsupported process for Oracle 11: Buyer beware *System Requirements* The installation is tested on the following SM: Platform - smartos-1.3.18 RAM: 4gb Storage: 100gb Oracle installation is supported, but only by using a response file Prior to installation, you must download and untar in / this file:http://cuddletech.com/tmp/ccs-binaries-s11-v2.tar.bz2 GUI tools such as dbca, netca, or the graphical installer are NOT supported. We do not have plans to put them in PKGSRC or, use a Linux or Solaris VM which has all the dependencies already present. *Installation Procedure* [root@oracle ~]# ls -lh /home/admin total 2.2G -rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 2.0M 2011-10-31 21:03 ccs-binaries-s11-v2.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 1.3G 2011-11-08 09:39 solaris.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 959M 2011-10-27 20:49 solaris.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip [root@oracle ~]# cd / [root@oracle /]# gtar xfvj /home/admin/ccs-binaries-s11-v2.tar.bz2 [root@oracle /]# groupadd -g 2000 dba [root@oracle /]# groupadd -g 2001 oinstall [root@oracle /]# groupadd -g 2002 oper [root@oracle /]# mkdir -p /u01/app [root@oracle /]# useradd -u 2000 -g oinstall -G dba,oper -s /bin/bash -m -d /u01/app/oracle oracle 128 blocks [root@oracle /]# chown -R oracle:dba /u01 [root@oracle /]# mkdir -p /u02/oradata [root@oracle /]# chown -R oracle:dba /u02 [root@oracle /]# passwd oracle New Password: Re-enter new Password: passwd: password successfully changed for oracle [root@oracle /]# VecthafopwykyeilEriv^C [root@oracle /]# mv /home/admin/solaris.x64_11gR2_database_* /u01/app/oracle/ [root@oracle /]# chown oracle:dba /u01/app/oracle/solaris.x64_11gR2_database_* [root@oracle /]# su - oracle [oracle@oracle ~]$ [oracle@oracle ~]$ unzip solaris.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip [oracle@oracle ~]$ unzip solaris.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip [oracle@oracle ~]$ wget cuddletech.com/tmp/Enterprise-Oracle11gR2-NODB.rsp *Add the following lines to .profile* ORACLE_BASE=/u01 ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/ccs/lib/amd64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH *Exit and log back in to the "oracle" user to get the proper environment* [oracle@oracle ~]$ cd database/ [oracle@oracle ~/database]$ ./runInstaller -ignorePrereq -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/Enterprise-Oracle11gR2-NODB.rsp *NOW EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING AS REQUESTED BY THE INSTALLER:* [root@oracle /]# /u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh [root@oracle /]# /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/root.sh *VALIDATION PHASE* [oracle@oracle ~]$ exit logout [root@oracle ~]# su - oracle [oracle@oracle ~]$ sqlplus /nolog SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Tue Nov 8 10:17:22 2011 Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle.
