Issues before and after 12.1.1 Installation on OEL 5.8

Issues before and after 12.1.1 Installation on OEL 5.8

Some of the issues which you might face during EBS 12.1.1 installation on OEL 5.8 are listed below:

Pre-Installation Issues:

On OEL 5.8, ideally you won't face any pre-installation issues apart from RPM issues like missing RPMs in OEL DVD, Order of RPM Installation, Simultaneous installation of couple of RPMs etc

The order of RPMs which I recommend you is as below:

·         openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i3861

·         xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386

Download the above 2 RPMs from the below URL:

http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux

Similarly install the following RPMs (Available in OEL DVD):

·         compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26

·         gcc-4.1.2-14.el5

·         gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5

·         glibc-common-2.5-123

·         glibc-devel-2.5-12

·         libgcc-4.1.2-14.el53

·         libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5

·         libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el53

·         make-3.81-1.13

·         gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.13

·         libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5

·         libaio-0.3.106-3.23

·         libgomp-4.1.2-14.el5

·         sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5

·         compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138

·         compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61

The following RPMs are required for 11gR1 Database. As 12.1.1 comes with 11.1.0.7 Database, install the below RPMs as well:

·         elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125

·         elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125

Install the above 2 RPMs in the same command.

·         libaio-devel-0.3.106

·         unixODBC-libs-2.2.11-10.el5.i386.rpm

·         unixODBC-2.2.11

·         unixODBC-devel-2.2.11kernel-headers-2.6

Most of the above are already generally installed with OS Installation.

Post-Installation Issues:

When installating 12.1.1 on OEL5 its common to see some of the Post-Installation checks fail as seen in the screenshot due to a library issue which can be resolved by following the below steps:

1. Stop Applications services by using adstpall.sh

2. Execute the following command as root:

ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

3. Start the Applications Services by using adstrtal.sh

4. Click on Retry button in Rapid Install GUI. You must now see all Post-Install checks succeeding.
