Hi folks,
i need to install Oracle9i on Linux box with 128MB. Does anyone already do this without crashing the installing process? The requirement of 512MB for memory is very high to my system. So I need help on this.
Thanx in advance,
Luis Claudio

Hi there - here's some black magic for Oracle on
Linux - For those of you younger than 21 don't
read this - It might violate you pretty Ideoms ...
I had a similar problem when i wanted to install
O 8.1.5 on a 60 Mhz Pentium with 40 Mb of ram ...
I cloned another database by
1. shutting the source db down
2. nfs-mounted the source db directories
3. made a copy of the binaries and the db files
using cp -Rdp foo bar
4. Entered an entry in /etc/ld.so.conf pointing
to $ORAHOME/lib
5. ran ldconfig
6. created a service to start up the database
automatically in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
7. Copied / Created /etc/oratab and /etc/oraInst.loc
8. Edited $ORAHOME/network/admin/listener.ora and
tnsnames.ora to reflect the change in
names /ip-address
9. Started the database ...
In this case the Java installer required 128 MB of Ram
but the oracle process does not more than approximately 32 mb of ram and of course there is no heavy load on the machine :)
This procedure can also be used to clone 8.1.6 and 8.1.7
- so why not 9i ...
By the way similar stuff can be done when installing
8.1.7 on RH 7.0 to patch up an installation
of binaries and database using nfsmounted targetspace
on a 7.0 machine using the oracle installer from a rh 6.2 machine
So find any machine equipped with enough ram as the installation platform / or borrow some ram from some
windows workstations :> when doing the installation
and leave 256 Mb in the machine - then you should be flying ....
