3. <ip_address> <node_name>.<domain_name> <node_name>

During my RHEL 5 install of R12.1.1 I hit a couple of other issues that should be covered in the pre-reqs.
1)error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To Fix…
ls -l /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
ls: /usr/lib/libdb.so.2: No such file or directory
ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
ls -l /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23812 Jun 5 2007 /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0
2) POST INSTALL STEP .If using shared APPL_TOPS change s_lock_pid_dir variable in XML context file to point to a local directory with write read and permissions instead of a nfs directory.
As root
mkdir -p /u01/oracle/apps_lock_pid
chown applmgr:dba /u01/oracle/apps_lock_pid
As applmgr
vi $CONTEXT_FILE
/u01/apps/VIS/inst/apps/VIS_g2svobsdb01/pids/10.1.3/Apache/logs
becomes
/u01/oracle/apps_lock_pid
2. Run AutoConfig.
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adautocfg.sh
3. Restart all the services cleanly.
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstpall.sh apps/apps
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh apps/apps
4. Check both oacore and HTTP_Server services are up and retest the issue
ls -l /u01/apps/VIS/inst/apps/VIS_g2svobsdb01/portal/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

HI Raj,
Good to hear from you. Sorry as I was busy with production so didnt had time to reply.
Well for installation the hardware that you mentioned are fine for installation of 12.1.1
I have given pre-req in my previous post you can refer to that and you can refer to
oracle document id:402310.1 for more information.
You must start the installation from root and make sure that domain name and hostname is set in /etc/hosts and must have
OS user like “oracle” assign to group “dba”
#groupadd dba
#useradd -g dba -d /home/oracle oracle
Run Rapid install from root
In case of any doubts you can contact me via email

Hi Raj,
Can you explain me the error in detail as when, how and what you have done. In short
can you reproduce the error from begining.
Since the above error could occur due to many reason: like during cloning, refresh etc.

Raj,
was this on a 64 bit Redhat or 32 bit Redhat. i am planning to install 64 bit version and wanted to make sure if rpms are the same

appsinfo said
Hi Raj,
It was on 64 Bit RHEL. Yes RPMS are almost the same as that of 32 bit. However re-check once on Metalink for Installation Notes.

Syed
