Preinstallation Requirements

This chapter describes installation requirements for an Oracle9i for 64-bit Windows installation.

This chapter contains these topics:

Single Oracle Home Components

Most Oracle components can be installed multiple times on the same computer. However, the following components are only installed once for each computer:

If you attempt to install these components a second time, Oracle Universal Installer detects that these products are already installed in another Oracle home and automatically removes them from the installation process without prompting you. The following information is logged to the installActionsdate_time.log file in the c:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.

# product_name is a single oracle home product. It is already installed in 
currently_installed_location. 

If you are performing an installation and notice that one or more single Oracle home components are not available for installation during the current session, check to see if any of these components or any previous versions of these components are installed in another Oracle home. If you want to install these in the currently selected Oracle home, then first deinstall the conflicting versions.

See Also:

Appendix A, "Individual Components Available for Installation" for the installation types under which these components are installed

Top-Level Component System Requirements

The following sections list the system requirements for each top-level component. Each top-level component contains several installation types, each of which contain a series of individual components. Some individual components also have requirements that must be satisfied before installation. Those requirements are described in "Mandatory Individual Component Requirements".

System Requirements for NTFS File Systems

This section lists system requirements for the NTFS file system. Oracle Corporation recommends installing on an NTFS partition.


Note:

Review the NTFS system requirements listed in this section. These values are more accurate than the hard disk values reported by the Oracle Universal Installer Installation Summary window. This window does not include the size of compressed files that are expanded on the hard drive.

Oracle Advanced Security

Oracle Internet Directory

This section contains these topics:

Installing Oracle Internet Directory on an Existing Database

If you have Oracle9i release 2 (9.2.x) installed on a computer and you now want to install Oracle Internet Directory release 9.2 in the same Oracle home, ensure that both the database and listener are running.

Installing Oracle Internet Directory Release 9.2

To install Oracle Internet Directory release 9.2, choose the Oracle Internet Directory installation type from the Oracle9i Management and Integration top-level component; this creates the correct underlying Oracle9i database as part of Oracle Internet Directory release 9.2 installation.

Oracle Managed Files

Configuration procedures are required in order to enable Oracle Managed Files.

See Also:

"Using Oracle-Managed Files" in Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide

Oracle Real Application Clusters

Refer to Appendix B, "Oracle Real Application Clusters Preinstallation Tasks" for hardware, software, and preinstallation requirements. You must complete these tasks before using Oracle Universal Installer.

Oracle Workflow

Ensure that you have configured the required hardware and software.
