Remote
Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
If
you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the following steps. These steps
are applicable only if your source and target machine are running Unix.
For
example, you
can install Oracle Software from your home from Washington, DC to a target source in California.
1.
Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
2.
Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
3. On
the target machine, find your target machine name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname
4. On
the source machine, login as a user.
5. On
the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + target-machine-name
6.
Become root user by typing: su (don’t use -)
7.
Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps –ef |grep vold (if you see an entry that contains
/usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is running. Then skip to Step 10.
8. If
not then do the following: # mkdir –p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
9.
#
mount –F hsfs –r cdrom-device
/cdrom/your-cd-file-name
10. Add the following
line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share –F nfs –o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
11. Verify whether your
source machine is an NFS server: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
12. If you see an entry
that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd –a 16, then nfsd is running and skip to Step 16.
13. If nfsd is running,
then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
14. If nfsd is not
running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
15. Verify whether your
source machine is an NFS server again by typing: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
16. Make sure your
source machine is exporting your product directory by typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
17. Now, log in to the
target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name –l user
(not root)
18. Then log in as the root user by typing: # su
19. Go to the source
machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name
,then Skip to 24.
20. If you cannot
change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have an auto-mounter on your network, then create
amount point by typing the following commands.
21. # mkdir /remote_products
22. #
/usr/sbin/mount
–F nfs –r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name
/remote_products
23. # cd /remote_products
24. Redirect the target
machine display to source machine by typing: # DISPLAY=source-machine:0;
export DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
25. Start the Web Start
Installer by typing: # ./installer (or
whatever the installer name program is).
Good
Luck!
