1 Oracle Transparent Gateway Overview

1.3.3.1 Installing the Software on a System with an Existing Oracle Installation

You must install this product into a new Oracle home directory. You cannot install products from one release of Oracle Database into an Oracle home directory of a different release. For example, you cannot install release 10.1 software into an existing Oracle9i Oracle home directory. If you attempt to install this release into an Oracle home directory that contains software from an earlier Oracle release, the installation fails.

You can install this release more than once on the same system if each installation is installed in a separate Oracle home directory.

1.5.1.1 Mounting Disc

On most Solaris systems, the disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the disc drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, follow these steps to mount it:

1. Switch user to root

   $ su - root
   
   

2. If necessary, enter a command similar to one of the following to eject the currently mounted disc, then remove it from the drive:

   Solaris:

   # eject
   
   

   AIX:

   # umount /cdrom
   
   

   hp-ux:

   # /usr/sbin/umount /SD_CDROM
   
   

   Tru64 UNIX:

   # /usr/sbin/umount /cdrom
   
   

   In these examples, /cdrom and /SD_CDROM are the mount point directories for the disc drive.

3. Insert the appropriate disc into the disc drive.

4. To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter a command similar to the following depending on your platform:

   Solaris:

   # ls /cdrom/cdrom0
   
   

5. If this command fails to display the contents of the disc, enter a command similar to the following to mount it, depending on your platform:

   Solaris:

   # /usr/sbin/mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 /cdrom
   
   

   In this example, /cdrom is the disc mount point directory and /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 is the device name for the disc device, for example /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s2.

6. If Oracle Universal Installer is displaying the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disc mount point directory path, for example:

   /mnt/cdrom
   
   

1.5.1.2 Copying the Oracle Transparent Gateway Software to a Hard Disk

To copy the contents of the disc to a hard disk:

1. Create a directory on the hard disk to hold the Oracle software:

   $ mkdir Ora10g
   
   

2. Change directory to the directory you created in step 1:

   $ cd Ora10g
   
   

3. Create subdirectories for each installation disc with names similar to the following, where n is the disc number:

   $ mkdir Diskn
   
   

4. Copy the contents of the mounted disc to the corresponding new subdirectory as follows:

   $ cp -R /directory_path Diskn
   
   

   In this example, n is the disc number and /directory_path is the installation media mount point directory. The mount point directory is /cdrom.

5. If necessary, mount the next disc and repeat step 5.

1.5.2.1 Downloading the Installation Archive Files

To download the installation archive files from OTN:

1. Use any browser to access the software download page on OTN:

   http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/
   
   

2. Navigate to the download page for the product that you want to install.

3. On the download page, identify the required disk space by adding the file sizes for each required file.

   The file sizes are listed next to the file names.

4. Select a file system with enough free space to store and expand the archive files.

   In most cases, the available disk space must be at least twice the size of all of the archive files.

5. On the file system that you selected in step 4, create a parent directory for each product, for example , TG4SYBS, to hold the installation directories.

6. Download all of the installation archive files to the directory that you created in step 5.

7. Verify that the files you downloaded are the same size as the corresponding files on OTN.

1.5.2.2 Extracting the Installation Files

To extract the installation archive files, perform the following steps:

1. If necessary, change directory to the directory that contains the downloaded installation archive files.

2. To uncompress each file, enter a command similar to the following:

   $ gunzip filename.cpio.gz
   
   

   This command creates files with names similar to the following:

   filename.cpio
   
   

3. To extract the installation files, enter a command similar to the following:

   $ cpio -idmv < filename.cpio
   

   Note:

   Refer to the download page for information about the correct options to use with the cpio command.

   Some browsers uncompress files while downloading them, but leave the .gz file extension. If these steps do not work, remove the .gz extension from the files and repeat step 3.

   For each file, this command creates a subdirectory named Diskn, where n is either 1 or the disk number identified in the file name.
