Oracle Database Discussions

Hi,

I'm trying to install oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.2) on solaris 5.10 (sparc).

I've configured all the prerequisites properly and started the installation of oracle 11.2.0.2 with default settings. But the installation is hanging during pre-requisites phase and stopped responding. It hung at "checking hard limit: maximum open file descriptors". That is when the installer stopped responding (or hung) during the pre-requisite phase, the status was showing that "checking hard limit: maximum open file descriptors".

Before launching the installer, I've configured shell limits using ulimit as described in the documentation but not sure what is causing the installer to stop responding. Had it thrown an error instead of stopping responding, it would have been at least helpful.

I'm new to oracle installation so i might miss something.

Could someone please help

Thanks,
Sreedhar.
