Oracle software installation issue
653084Nov 2 2010 — edited Nov 8 2010Hi All,
as part of my learning exercise I am trying to achieve this -
I have a Sun box (SPARC 64 bit) running on Solaris 10 where oracle software is already installed (as oracle user) and a test database is created.
What I want is to install oracle 10.2.01 and then upgrade to 10.2.05 in a isolated environment on same serve as different user.
For this I have created another user, given access to the location where oracle software is kept.
Login as newly created user. I declare & export ORACLE_HOME and then execute runInstaller I get permission error on orainventory directory!!
One way of resolving this issue I thought would be to put newly created user to same group as oracle (as oraInventory has 770 permission) but my sysadmin says try to create a completely isolated environment and do not touch existing oraInventory dir.
I am kind of stuck at the moment and was wondering if someone can help me or guide me to right direction/document
Your help is much appreciated.
