ORacle 8.1.7 on RH Linux

[doorsny]

I installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.

The installation went fine and created the database scripts thru dbassist.
But while executing the shell (DB creation scripts generated by dbassist) I get "end of communication channel" (ORA-03113) error.

I tried running individual shell for starting the database.

As soon as I issue the dbstart nomount, it gives the same error.

Someone adviced to relink the oracle libraries. Does anyone has an idea how to relink the Oracle libraries (after making some changes to kernel)

Also, I changed the Shared Memory (SHHMAX etc) and Semaphore Paramaters.
Any idea, how to rebuild the kernel?

Thanks
Bobby

Hi

check the following environment varaiable if not set set them first and then try to perform startup nomount

1) ORACLE_HOME

2) ORACLE_SID

3) LD_LIBRARY_PATH -> will be ORACLE_HOME/lib

4) PATH

About ur other question of relinking the Oracle


Log in as the 'oracle' user.

% script /tmp/relink.out
% cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
% mv $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.dd.mon.yy
% rm -f ./oracle
% make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
% exit

Thanks.

All the environment variable are okay. In alert log there is a WARNING on Shared memory.
I increased the Shared memory to 128MB (Half the physical RAM). The SGA is 16MB with 100 Processes on 8K block.

Someone adviced to relink some file (i think glibc) to Oracle library.

Just wondering is someone know the whole procedure.

I was searching on something else and I found this: Note on metalink
121176.1
Oracle doesn't start on RedHat Linux 7.0 after relinking.

Check it out.

Good luck, and let us know if this helps.
