NOTE: If the Oracle installation fails, a re-install will not run successfully because of existing files or existing Oracle user. In such a case, uninstall Oracle using the Oracle uninstall script. Refer to step 6 of ”Removing the Management Server” on page 89.

Installing the Database

To install the database:

1.Login to the Linux host as root user.

2.Insert the first Oracle Database DVD and mount it using the following commands:

#mkdir -p /mnt/oradisk

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/oradisk

where /dev/cdrom is the device.

3.Verify that you are in the top level directory:

#cd /

4.Start the installation of the database by entering the following:

#/mnt/oradisk/InstallDatabase

NOTE: All commands and filenames are case-sensitive.

5.The script will ask if you wish to continue. Enter “y.”
