This chapter describes the requirements for installing the Oracle Database 10g Products and the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products.
This chapter contains these topics:
The platform-specific hardware and software requirements included in this installation guide were current at the time this guide was published. However, because new platforms and operating system software versions might be certified after this guide is published, review the certification matrix on the OracleMetaLink Web site for the most up-to-date list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions. The OracleMetaLink Web site is available at the following URL:
http://metalink.oracle.com/
You must register online before using OracleMetaLink. After logging in, select Certify & Availability from the left-hand column. From the Product Lifecycle page, select the Certifications button. Other Product Lifecycle options include Product Availability, Desupport Notices, and Alerts.
The following sections list the following certification information:
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 include a Telnet Service that allows remote users to log on to the operating system and run console programs using the command line. Oracle supports the use of command line utilities using this feature, but does not support the database GUI tools such as Oracle Universal Installer, Database Configuration Assistant, and Oracle Net Configuration Assistant.
|
Note: Ensure that the Telnet service is started on the Services control panel. |
Oracle supports Remote Desktop Connection on Windows XP and Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003. However, installation of Oracle components from a remote Terminal Services Client on to a 64-bit Windows server that is running a Terminal Server service is not supported. Start all configuration tools from the Terminal Server console (using mstsc/console) and not from the Terminal Services Client.

Ideally, you should installOracle Database 10g Products into an existing Oracle home. If you are installing Oracle Database 10g Products into an existing Oracle home, you first must identify the Oracle home directory that the Oracle Database installation uses. If you do not know the path of the Oracle home directory, you can check it using Oracle Universal Installer.
To check the path of the Oracle home directory, follow these steps:
From the Start menu, choose Programs, then Oracle - HOME_NAME, then Oracle Installation Products, then Universal Installer.
When the Welcome screen appears, click Installed Products.
The Inventory screen appears, listing all of the Oracle homes on the system and the products installed in each Oracle home.
In the Inventory screen, expand each Oracle home and locate Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
Click Close and then Cancel to exit Oracle Universal Installer.
Have the Oracle home name available when you use Chapter 3, "Installing the Oracle Database Companion CD Software" for the installation procedures.
Verify that the file system that contains the Oracle home directory has enough disk space for the installation. The Oracle home directory requires 100 MB of available disk space on the system drive and 650 MB in the Oracle home drive in order to install products available on the Oracle Database Companion CD.
When you install Oracle Database 10g Companion Products, you can install either Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle HTML DB, or both Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB. You need to install the Companion Products into an Oracle home different from the Oracle home used for Oracle Database.
This section contains these topics:
Before you install Oracle HTTP Server into a new Oracle home, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Oracle HTTP Server must have access to Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1) or Oracle9i release 9.2.0.3 in order to run. Oracle Database can be on a separate system from Oracle HTTP Server, as long as it is accessible by Oracle*Net. However, Oracle HTTP Server must be in its own home.
For example, if Oracle Database has been installed in OraDB10g_home1, when you run Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle HTTP Server, you can specify the Oracle Database in that home, but you need to install Oracle HTTP Server into its own home, for example, OraDB10g_home2.
Oracle HTTP Server must meet the following hardware requirements for NTFS systems:
Physical RAM: 1 GB
Virtual Memory: 512 MB
Temp directory: 150 MB of disk space
Disk space for Companion CD products:
| Products for Installation | System Drive Disk Space | Oracle Home Disk Space |
|---|---|---|
| Oracle HTTP Server
|
100 MB | 350 MB |
| Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB | 100 MB | 650 MB |
Oracle HTTP Server has the following minimum operating system requirements:
Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003
Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems
|
Note: Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack is supported on Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003. |
The requirements for Oracle HTML DB are as follows.
Oracle HTML DB requires either Oracle Database release 1 (10.1) or Oracle9i release 9.2.0.3. You need to install Oracle HTML DB into an Oracle home that contains Oracle HTTP Server. (This home, with both Oracle HTML DB and Oracle HTTP Server, is referred to as the Companion CD Oracle home.) The Companion CD Oracle home can be on a different physical server from the Oracle Database home, as long as Oracle HTML DB can access this database with Oracle*Net.
For example, if Oracle Database has been installed in OraDB10g_home1, when you run Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle HTML DB, you can specify the Oracle Database in that home, but you need to install Oracle HTML DB into its own home that contains Oracle HTTP Server, for example, OraDB10g_home2.
The disk space requirements are as follows:
File system that contains the Oracle home directory: at least 460 MB of free disk space
System drive: 100 MB
Oracle HTML DB must have access to Oracle HTTP Server in order to run. If you plan to install Oracle HTML DB into an existing Oracle home, check that the system has an Oracle home directory that contains Oracle HTTP Server release 9.0.4 or higher with mod_plsql. The Oracle home directory for Oracle HTTP Server 10g meets this requirement.
If the system does not meet these requirements, you will need to install Oracle HTTP Server 10g when you install the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products.
Oracle XML DB first must be installed in the Oracle database that you want to use. If you are using a preconfigured database created either during an installation or by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA), Oracle XML DB is already installed and configured.

Typically, the computer on which you want to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products is connected to the network, has local storage to contain this installation, has a display monitor, and has a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
This section describes how to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products on computers that do not meet the typical scenario. It covers the following cases:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses on a network. Dynamic addressing allows a computer to have a different IP address each time it connects to the network. In some cases, the IP address can change while the computer is still connected. You can have a mixture of static and dynamic IP addressing in a DHCP system.
In a DHCP setup, the software tracks IP addresses, which simplifies network administration. This lets you add a new computer to the network without having to manually assign that computer a unique IP address. However, before installing the Oracle Database Companion CD products onto a computer that uses the DHCP protocol, you need to install a loopback adapter to assign a local IP address to that computer.
If you are installing the Oracle Database Companion CD products on a computer that has multiple network cards, Oracle Universal Installer uses the first name in the \etc\hosts file. You may need to re-order the lines in this file so the desired hostname appears first. You can change the file back to its original state after installation.
A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a hostname; additionally, you can set up aliases for the hostname.
When you install the Oracle Database Companion CD products on a multihomed computer, Oracle Universal Installer configures the products to use the hostname and IP address on the primary network adapter.
Clients must be able to access the computer using this hostname (or using aliases for this hostname). To check, ping the hostname from the client computers using the short name (hostname only) and the full name (hostname and domain name). Both must work.
You can determine the primary hostname and IP address by running the hostname and ipconfig commands. For example:
prompt> hostname
test-pc2
prompt> ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : us.mycompany.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 139.185.140.166
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 139.185.140.1
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
If the primary adapter is not the one you want to use for the Oracle Database Companion CD products, you need to make the network adapter that you want to use for the products to be the primary network adapter.
A computer with multiple aliases is registered with the naming service under a single IP but with multiple aliases. The naming service resolves any of those aliases to the same computer.
Before installing the Oracle Database Companion CD products on such a computer, you must
Install a loopback adapter on the computer.
Make sure the loopback adapter is the primary network adapter.
The loopback adapter ensures that when the Oracle Database Companion CD products queries for the hostname, it always gets the same name because the queries are run locally. Without the loopback adapter, the queries can return any of the aliases for the computer because the queries get the response from the naming service
|
See Also: "Installing a Loopback Adapter" for how Windows determines the primary adapter and how to install the loopback adapter |
When you install a loopback adapter, the loopback adapter assigns a local IP for your computer. After you install a loopback adapter on your computer, you have at least two network adapters on your computer: your own network adapter and the loopback adapter. The Oracle Database Companion CD products need to have Windows using the loopback adapter as the primary adapter.
The primary adapter is determined by the order in which you install the adapters. On Windows 2003 and Windows XP, the primary adapter is the last adapter installed. If you install additional network adapters after you install the loopback adapter, you need to deinstall the loopback adapter and reinstall it.
A loopback adapter is required if you are installing on a DHCP computer.
The procedure for installing a loopback adapter depends on the version of Windows on which you plan to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products:
To check if a loopback adapter is installed on your computer, run the ipconfig /all command:
prompt> ipconfig /all
If there is a loopback adapter installed, you would see a section that lists the values for the loopback adapter. For example:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Loopback Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 02-00-4C-4F-4F-50 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.25.129 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
To install a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:
From the Start menu, select Control Panel.
Double-click Add Hardware to start the Add Hardware wizard.
On the Welcome screen, click Next.
On the Is the hardware connected? screen, select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and click Next.

On the Select Network Adapter screen, make the following selections:
Manufacturer: select Microsoft.
Network Adapter: select Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
Click Next.
On the The wizard is ready to install your hardware screen, click Next.
On the Completing the Add Hardware Wizard screen, click Finish.
If you are using Windows 2003, restart your computer.
Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections control panel.
Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named Local Area Connection 2. Choose Properties.
On the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties.
In the Properties dialog, do the following:
Click OK.
Click OK in the Local Area Connection 2 Properties dialog.
Restart the computer.
Add a line to the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following format, after the localhost line:
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered in step 16.
hostname is the name of the computer.
domainname is the name of the domain.
For example:
10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer
Check the network configuration:
Open System Properties, and select the Computer Name tab. In Full computer name, make sure you see the hostname and the domain name.
Click Change. In Computer name, you should see the hostname, and in Full computer name, you should see the hostname and domain name.
Click More. In Primary DNS suffix of this computer, you should see the domain name.
To remove the loopback adapter from Windows 2003 or Windows XP:
Display the System control panel.
Windows 2003: From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then System.
Windows XP: From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then double-click System.
In the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
In the Device Manager windows, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall.
