Procedure Steps

Step

Action

Place the first disc containing the Oracle installation files in the
CD-ROM drive of the database server.

Log on to the server as the SSA role (ntsysadm).

Change user permissions to root:

su - root

Change directory:

cd /usr/local/bin

Copy the installation files from the CD to the hard drive,
changing the CD as prompted:

./mcpCopyFromCD.pl

If the installation files have been delivered by ESD, copy the
installation files using this command:

./mcpCopyFromESD.pl

When all of the installation files have been copied from the CDs,
change directory:

cd /var/mcp/db/install

Run the installation script:

./installOracle.pl

Configure the password for Sys and System users, ensuring the
passwords meet the criteria displayed with the prompt.

From the list of database configurations, select the appropriate
x3550 database type.

•

For small (2-server) configurations, enter

[4]

for x3550

Micro.

•

For medium (4-server) configurations, enter

[5]

for x3550

Standard.

Warning messages can appear. These messages are normal
and no action is required.

When prompted, choose to have the installer remove the
installation files. Nortel recommends that the installation files be
removed to conserve disk space.

If applicable, apply software Maintenance Release updates and
patches.

If you are restoring a database from an existing backup, follow
the procedures for restoring a database as described in Nortel
