Today I started installing Oracle Applications fresh instance installation on AIX 5.3
The machine is a pSeries server and hosted by IBM technical person at the data center.
By the time I am involved, network setup is done and disk partioning is completed.
We have partitioned the disk as 3 mount points of 200GB each.
Hardware specifications
4 CPU - Dual core
16 GB RAM
Mounting CD's
On AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) is used to create a logical mount for the CDROM device and also to mount the CDROM. I have used the steps in given in IBM DB2 installation steps to mount the CDROM.
Console
Monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected directly to the server and hence didnt had to tweak with the DISPLAY settings on the console.
Autostage
After mounting the "Start Here" cd, verified the contents of the cdrom to ensure that the CD is mounted properly, using the command "ls -l /cdrom".
Executed the following command,
perl /cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl
It ask for various questions like
Components to be staged : Since I am doing a single node installation I have choosen Oracle Applications, The other options that are available are :
1 - to choose Oracle Applications
2 - to choose Oracle Applications with NLS
3 - to choose Oracle Database technology stack (RDBMS)
4 - to choose Oracle Applications database (Databases)
5 - to choose Oracle Applications technology stack (Tools)
6 - to choose APPL_TOP
7 - to choose National Language Support (NLS) Languages
stage directory : "Need to give a mountpoint where you would like to stage the CD's. In my case i have given /u03. It creates a folder called stage11i under /u03 and copies all the content over there."
CDROM Mountpoint : "In my case its /cdrom"
After this it verifies for the disk space availability and then starts copying contents into /u03/Stage11i. After completing copying this CD it prompts us to insert the next CD. This way it continue till it completes the staging activity. CD's are prompted in the following order,
1. Start Here CD
2. RDBMS - 1 CD
3. Database - 3 CDs
4. Tools - 1 CD
5. APPL_TOP - 2 CDs
Total time taken for staging is 3 hours.
