186 Views

Hello Friends,

I want to install SAP Solution Manager 7.0 with Oracle 10g on SUSE Linux 10.0.

But, while starting the Installation i am getting following Errors.

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1,
 asianux-2 or SuSE-10
                                      Passed


All installer requirements met.

Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2009-04-22_03-59-38PM. Please wait ...
Error in writing to directory /tmp/OraInstall2009-04-22_03-59-38PM. Please ensure that this directory is
 writable and has atleast 60 MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue.
: Success

I have checked the Permissions and the Size of /tmp Directory, which is as followed:

drwxr-xr-x  11 root root    0 2009-04-22 21:19 sys
drwxrwxrwt  52 root root 1824 2009-04-22 16:00 tmp

/dev/sda10             2104376     73112   2031264   4% /tmp

I am starting the Oracle 10g Installation within orasm7 User which is a member of dba, users, disk groups.

The directories which are created upon starting the Oracle Installation in /tmp directory are having the situations as followed:

drwxr-xr-x 3 orasm7   dba          128 2009-04-21 18:41 OraInstall2009-04-21_06-41-14PM
drwxr-xr-x 3 orasm7   dba          128 2009-04-21 18:41 OraInstall2009-04-21_06-41-25PM
drwxr-xr-x 3 orasm7   dba          128 2009-04-22 15:59 OraInstall2009-04-22_03-59-38PM

The Oracle Installation log is as follwoed:

Using paramFile: /home/MyData/51031676/database/install/oraparam.ini


Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1, asianux-2 or SuSE-10
                                      Passed


All installer requirements met.


The commandline for unzip:
/home/MyData/51031676/database/install/unzip -qqq ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.4.2.0.8
/1/DataFiles/\*.jar -d /tmp/OraInstall2009-04-22_03-59-38PM

I have set DISPLAY variable in this way before starting Installation:

DISPLAY=$HOSTNAME:0.0

export DISPLAY

I tried to search the solution over the internet for this kind of problem, but i am not able to find its solution. Even i tried to start the Orale installation using this parameter: ./runInstaller ignoreSysPrereqs, but still it is giving the same unexpected error.

I have a doubt on File/Directory permissions which are created for Installation in /tmp. The umask setiing of the system is 0022.

Please, help me for this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Bhavik G. Shroff
