I'm having trouble installing Oracle 9i on a AIX 5L. I get an error about ".../lib/kxmwsd.o is a discontinued XCOFF 64 file."

I have checked
lslpp -L bos.64bit
Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bos.64bit 5.1.0.16 C F Base Operating System 64 bit
Runtime

This seems like the install of a 64 bit application should be OK.

The one thing I do find is this.

unix: symbolic link to /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp.
unix_64: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped
unix_mp: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

The unix_mp is loaded at boot not the unix_64. Should the unix_64 kenrnel be booted, and if so how do I change the boot configuration?
 
Hello,
problem with Oracle. Oracle is not able to handle AIX 5.1 64 bit kernel.
You have to change the AIX 5.1 kernel from 64 bit to 32 bit then install Oracle.

FROM 64BIT TO 32 BIT

ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp /unix
ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp /usr/lib/boot/unix
lslv -m hd5 -> if you get hdisk0 then bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0
or if you get hdisk1 then bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk1

FROM 32BIT TO 64 BIT

ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /unix
ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /usr/lib/boot/unix
lslv -m hd5 -> if you get hdisk0 then bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0
or if you get hdisk1 then bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk1


 
Hello,

Oracle 9i isn't supported yet for aix5.1, does anybody know when it's officially supported? On a oracle-site was the status projected.

 
I understand it will be some time this fall. I expect it will happen before December, but who knows?
 
The current info I have from Oracle and IBM is that there is a Oracle9i "Developers Release" currently available, but it is unsupported.
The Oracle 9.2 release will support AIX 5L it is due out in the Second Quater of 2002. Or late June.

IBM says that Oracle9i should work on either a 32 or 64 bit kernel.

Not that any of this has help install Oracle9i.

(As an aside the bosboot command option -k should be used when changing kernels.)
 
1. AIX 5L support by Oracle products. IBM notes that information regarding the compatibility between AIX and Oracle Corporation’s products is listed on Oracle’s “Metalink” web site at in the “Product
Lifecycle/Certifications” section.

IBM and Oracle have finalized their plans to support AIX 5L. Based on information published on Metalink, the minimum releases required for AIX 5L support are listed here for the most popular Oracle offerings:
Oracle Product Minimum version required for AIX 5L support

Oracle8i database (32-bit) 8.1.7
Oracle9i database (64-bit) 9.0.1.2 (Developer’s Release only), and,9.2
Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.5
Oracle Internet Application Server 1.0.2.2
Forms & Developer 6i

IBM may not disclose Oracle Corporation’s confidential release schedules. However, IBMnotes that Oracle Corporation has announced plans to ship Oracle9i release 2 before the end of May 2002. Oracle Corporation disclosed this schedule to the press on January 31st, 2002. IBM recommends that you check with your local Oracle representative for an updated schedule.
 
Hello,
bosboot -k does not change kernel. if you know why then explain it.
 
Should work, by the instructions anyway. This is the man page from 4330-09, it has two entries for '-k'. Seems a bit odd.

-k Allows to specify an alternate kernel file. If this flag is not specified,
/unix is the default.

-k Kernel Uses the specified kernel file for the boot image. This flag is
optional.

I guess you are specifying a good kernel file?
 
Turns out it has nothing to do with the kernel.

Was trying to install Oracle 9.0.1 on AIX 5L. Should have used Oracle 9.0.1.2.
After install of the tarball file got error message
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program oracleora9i because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libperfstat.a(shr_64.o) could not beloaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libperfstat.a(shr_64.o).
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

After installing all bos.perf file sets and patches IY22854 and PTF U480276 got error about not being able to start auditing. Metalink.Oracle said to create $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit

After that used sqlplus "/ as sysdba" and connected to idle instance.
Hope this helps if you try to install oracle 9i...
