Install Oracle in AIX

1) For Installing Oracle on AIX. You have to check the necessary packages

bos.adt.base, bos.adt.lib, bos.adt.libm , Installed or not, if not your installation (while linking) fail.so tell your sysadmin that u want these packages.

2) If u r changing any parameter in .PROFILE file, you have to run this command
$ . .profile

Otherwise logout then login your changes will take effect.

3) You have to tell your system admin. Install all CD's of AIX OS

4) Check for this patches these are imp.

5) To determine if a specific patch is installed, enter one of the following commands

$ instfix -a -ivk APAR_number

To check whether an operating systems package is installed, enter following command

$ lslpp -l os_packagename

6) Kernel Parameter Settings for AIX :-
AIX does not require kernel parameter configuration prior to Oracle9i installation.
Means there is no need to change the “system.conf” file.



7) Oracle requires database administration groups to complete installation so tell your Sysadmin that create oracle user and its group.

8) Set permission for file creation:
It is necessary to set the umask parameter to 022 for the oracle user to ensure that group and others have read and execute permissions, but not write permission, on the installed files Check by firing following command
$ umask
If the umask command does not return the value 022, then set it for the Oracle user by adding the following line to the “.profile” file:
umask 022 then save the file then logout and login and check through umask command

9) set all variables like PATH,ORACLE_HOME etc in .profile file

10) Open two windows while installation one is root user and another one is oracle user.

11) through root user file following command

$ export DISPLAY=ipaddressOfServer:0.0

if u r installing on workstation then fire

$ xhost +

12) Inform your sysadmin that mount the cdrom drive

13) Now we are going to start the installation login ORACLE user Fire the following command other than cdrom drive directory

$ /cdrom_mount_point_directory/runInstaller

if you will get Oracle Universal Installer screen then same
as Windows installation but while installation it will ask you to run root.sh file don’t close any window and run root.sh from root prompt.

After follow the steps same like windows installtion.

Now your ORACLE IS ready on AIX………….
