The pre-requisite checks are done as per the instructions given in the doc
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10811_02/ch2.htm
1.Find memory on AIX
#lsattr -E -l sys0 -a realmem
realmem 16318464 Amount of usable physical memory in Kbytes False
2.To find the configured SWAP space,
# lsps -a
Our swap size is 512 MB, recomended is 1GB or twice the RAM sizeOn AIX machines it is recommended not to increase SWAP beyond the 2GB
So increased the swap sizesWAP size is increased by using the following commands,"smitty pgsp" Change/show Characteristics -- select hd6 -- Type in enough LPs to bring it up to 2 GB, i.e. 3x the LP count for 512 MB, and press ENTER
3. Ensure that /tmp has atleast 1GB free space
df -k /tmp shows that /tmp size is only 131MB.
/dev/hd3 131072 129700 2% 35 1% /tmp
Increased the /tmp size by adding more space to it using the following command,
#chfs -a size='+100000' /tmp
After this the output of df -k /tmp is as below,
/dev/hd3 524288 522856 1% 35 1% /tmp
So the free space is reached to 520 MB.
4. To ensure that the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command
and expected output is 64.
#getconf HARDWARE_BITMODE
5.Software requirements
a. Verify the OS level, minimum should be AIX 5.2
#oslevel -r 5300-03
b. Verify whether the patchsets are installed or not
#lslpp -l bos.adt.base bos.adt.lib bos.adt.libm bos.perf.perfstat bos.perf.libperfstat bos.perf.proctools
Unix steps to start the installation,
Create Unix users and groups required for the Oracle Apps installation.
On AIX use SMIT to create the users and groups.
After creating the users, the following shell limits need to be set,
Soft File Size -1
Soft CPU time -1
Soft Data segment -1
Soft STACK size -1
Use "smit chuser" to setup the above parameters.
Verify that the maximum number of processes allowed per user is set to 2048 or greater.
#smit chgsys
-----Downloaded GCC compiler from the following link, http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/gcc.html
After installing the GCC compiler got the error to apply 2896876
Initially thought that it might be a AIX patch and searched in the IBM site, later understood that its a Oracle patch and has to be downloaded from Metalink.
unzip not found
so had to extract the patch on the windows and ftp the whole folderexecuted rootpre.sh as instructed in the patch readme.
---------Added on 24/01/2007------------
I have missed the following steps mentioned in Metalink Note ID : 294932.1
a) Execute slibclean :
Before you start the Installation through Rapid Install, run slibclean as a root user on your AIX install machine :
# slibclean
This command, will clean up any unused modules in kernel and library memory which may cause installation or runtime problems.
b) Execute rootpre.sh and preInstaller.sh :
Execute the following scripts to Set the Kernel with the requirements for 9i/11i:
/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/oui/IBM_AIX/aix_preInstall/rootpre.sh
/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/oui/IBM_AIX/aix_preInstall/preInstaller.sh
The scripts must be executed with the root user in the same Xwindow session just before executing RapidWiz.
--------End of Addition 24/01/2007-----------
Now the installation started..............phew.......
