Problems installing Oracle9i on Solaris9

[Pacifica]

Installing Oracle9i from CDs. 3 CDs.

Installed 1st CD, got error messages regarding mission jre components. Then 1st CD done, installer reqesting 2nd CD. But can't eject first CD. Get message that says CD is busy. How do I eject the CD? Can I continue with this installation or should I start over?

I don't know what the first error message means. Perhaps you don't have the correct version of java?? (Just a guess.)

Regarding the second problem: it looks as if you ran the runInstaller command while you were in the mount point directory of the CD. I'm afraid you are going to have to kill the installation process and start over.

I manually deleted what has already been installed when I ran the installation again.

When you re-run runInstaller, cd into another directory (/ or /tmp, for example) and type /<path to command>/runInstaller.

It would be interesting to find out how many Oracle installers have done this since Oracle's installation started requiring more than one CD!

Good luck.

I'v read about this problem for a while. It looks like the thing to do is copy the install CDs to disk before you start the install and install from there.
