Problems with downloading and installing Oracle 9i 64-bit For RHEL

1. Download

A performance problem occurs in the customer system. The database version is 9.2.0.4 32-bit. Because the 32-bit database has a maximum memory limit of GB, physical memory cannot be fully used even if a new machine is used, we plan to use extended memory. However, after testing, we find that 9I memory usage is unstable, and sometimes OOM or even downtime occurs. The customer does not agree to upgrade the database version for the time being, the company only has 32-bit installation media, and metalink only has 9207,9208 patches. These patches cannot be installed independently. They are basic 9201 or 9204 update packages, so I want to download 9.2.04 for Linux x86-64 on the Oracle official website, the download steps are as follows

1. To the following link, directly click Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.4.0) for Linux x86-64 CD 1 of 3 on the left of download

Https://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form? Egroup_aru_number = 10285079

2. Click the link and the following page appears. The text is as follows:

Thank you for accessing the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. due to your country location, we are unable to process your request. if you have an active support contract, you may request physical media by either submitting a Service Request or calling Customer Support. if you wish to purchase or evaluate our products on a 30-day trial please contact the appropriate Sales Representative for your country.

3. according to the above prompt, a new SR was created in metalink. oracle responded quickly and quickly replied to me. oracle technical support said oracle 9.2.0.4 was not provided for Chinese users to download, however, you can send us a set of CDs and tell them that you have received the three CDs from Beijing around 3-4 days.

Ii. Problems Encountered during installation

There are two points to note when installing the RHEL 4 x86-64; otherwise errors may occur during installation

1. the kernel version needs to be downgraded

The following environment changes need to be added to. bash_profile.

Export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL = 2.4.19

2. gcc and g ++ must be downgraded to version 3.2.

Mv/usr/bin/gcc. orig

Mv/usr/bin/g ++. orig

Ln-s/usr/bin/x86_64-RedHat-linux-gcc32/usr/bin/gcc

Ln-s/usr/bin/x86_64-redhat-linux-g + + 32/usr/bin/g + +

Other basically no adjustment, the installation process is also relatively smooth, for more detailed Requirements, see Requirements for Installing Oracle 9iR2 64-bit on RHEL 4 x86-64 (AMD64/EM64T) [ID 353529.1]
