Oracle 8i on SLES9 ? 2007-02-12 - By Schwarz, Marco (FAW)
Back Hi all,
I am about to set up some new servers, and found out that their hardware isnt supported by SLES8.
I need to install Oracle 8.1.7.4 on these machines (can't upgrade to 9i or 10g, our apps arent ready for that yet) and thought about using SLES9.
I did an install on one new servers, and noticed that some binaries were missing after the installation (glibc-stubs patch was used). Some files like lsnrctl were missing, but I found files with the ending O (lsnrctlO for example ) and copied them to get thing running (e.g. cp lsnrctlO lsnrctl).
I've been doing a DB import and some quick tests now, everything seems to be running so far ...
So now I've been wondering if anyone else has tried to do this (8i with SLES9) and how it has been done ...
I have been thinking about an installation of 8i on SLES8, then tar-ing the whole stuff and copying it to the new SLES9 box ... would this be working ?
Any thoughts on this matter are highly appreciated. I need to replace one of the old servers this week, and I don't like ugly surprises while installing it at the clients site ;-)
Best regards, Marco Schwarz
