If any of the lines are red, read the error message and solve the issue.

This part of the installation is placing all the components of the database into the

libraries. In our case, it tool about 40 minutes.

At the completion of the process, the end of installation screen appeared in the

OUI window.

You can monitor progress by watching the allocation of the PDS

files.

Note: The log name is displayed at the bottom of the window. The log will contain

messages on the progress of the installer. Example 3-3 shows a sample from our

log.

Figure 3-3 Request that you run the rootpre.sh script

At this point, we had our system administrator with UID 0 authority run the root.sh

script.

Example 3-4 on page 47 shows the messages our system administrator

received.

Example 3-4 Output from root.sh script

Running Oracle10 root.sh script...

The following environment variables are set as:

ORACLE_OWNER= ORACLE1

ORACLE_HOME= /oracle/o10gtest

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: Ý/usr/local/bin¨:

Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin ...

Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...

Creating /var/opt/oracle/oratab file...

Adding entry to /var/opt/oracle/oratab file...

Finished running generic part of root.sh script.

Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

Then we clicked Next, which gave us the end of installation panel.

Note: This script writes files in the /usr/local/bin directory.

Click Exit. You will get a window asking if you want to exit; click Yes. In early

testing, if we did this too quickly, we got a message about a dump.

Some of these files are using extents. If you have enough contiguous space, you

may want to increase the default of the primary extent.

Example 3-6 shows the files that were installed in /oracle as USS files.
