Using OUI to install Oracle9i Release 2 on an OpenVMS System

Specifications (1 of 3)

• PC running Xcursion and a 16 Processor GS1280 with the 2 built-in disks

• In the examples we booted on disk DKA0:– Oracle account is on disk DKA100. Oracle and the

database will be installed on DKA100.– Install disk MUST be ODS-5.

• Installation uses the 9.2 downloaded from the Oracle website. It comes in a Java JAR file.

• Oracle ships a JRE with its product. However, you will have to install Java on OpenVMS so you can unpack the 9.2 JAR file that comes from the Oracle website

• Unpack the JAR file as described on the Oracle website. This will create two .BCK files.


• Follow the instructions in the VMS_9202_README.txt file on how to restore the 2 backup save sets.

• When the two backup save sets files are restored, you should end up with two directories:– [disk1] directory – [disk2] directory

• These directories will be in the root of a disk. In this example they are in the root of DKA100.

• The OUI requires X-Windows. If the Alpha system you are using does not have a graphic head, use a PC with an X-Windows terminal such as Xcursion.


• During this install we discovered a problem:– Instructions tell you to run @DKA100:

[disk1]runinstaller.– This will not work because the RUNINSTALLER.COM

file is not in the root of DKA100:[disk1]. – You must first copy RUNINSTALLER.COM from the

dka100:[disk1.000000] directory into dka100:[disk1]:

$ Copy dka100:[disk1.000000]runinstaller.com dka100:[disk1]

• From a terminal window execute:@DKA100:[disk1]runinstaller
