Error while installing Oracle 11g

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Our setup is as :

O/S : HP UNIX 11.31

Database : Oracle 10.2.0.5

We are into process of upgrading Oracle 10.2.0.5 to 11.2.0.2. During initial stage

ins-30060 check for group existence failed

oper and dba group are exist. I have also try with oinstall group. But

problem remain same.

I have attached screenshot and log file for your reference.

Thanks and Regards,

Please double check the groups and their id's

root# grep -e dba -e oper /etc/group
oper::102:sidadm,orasid
dba::103:sidadm
root# grep oradsid /etc/passwd
orasid:x:3058:103:SID Oracle Administrator:/oracle/SID:/usr/bin/csh
root# groups orasid
dba oper sapinst

Also check for duplicate entries, for example two dba entries with different id's and two different groups with the same id in /etc/group.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

Below is the output. We have two oracle instance (oradev, oraqas) installed in same server. At present I am upgrading

"oradev" instance.

# grep -e dba -e oper /etc/group

dba::108:devadm,qasadm,oradev

oper::109:devadm,qasadm,oraqas

# grep oradev /etc/passwd

oradev:R3bwajwIJX0Fo:110:109:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/DEV:/bin/csh

# groups oradev

dba oper

Here same group id assign to two user.

I have upgraded 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.5 without any problem, on both the oracle instance.

Thanks,

Obviously the oradev has oper as primary group, this is bad.

>> oradev:x:110:109:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/DEV:/bin/csh

You should change that, and you will also need to check if all oradev files have dba as group. Otherwise you have to change that too.

For example the oracle binary:

root# ll /oracle/SID/102_64/bin/oracle
-rwsr-s--x   1 orasid     dba        534843080 Jul  4 12:43 /oracle/SID/102_64/bin/oracle

Cheers Michael

PS: And please do not post your unix user's password hashes on the internet

Hello Michael,

I have made necessary changes.

But problem remain same. I have also made changes as per note 1431796 - point no. 15, CVU_11.2.0* permission.

Did you change all files? This command should not find anything:

root# find / -group oper -exec ll {} \;

If that is ok, then please close all open terminals and do a fresh logon as oradev and restart the RUNINSTALLER.

Thanks for your reply.

I have checked with the command you have given.

It is ok. There is no output from command.

I have also tried once again with fresh logon as oradev. But error remain same.

Thanks and Regards,

Well i cannot only guess from that point on, but what does groups oradev return now? I would not be surprised if you are missing the oper group now. This would mean you have to correct /etc/group.

Otherwise you would have to check the installer log, its location should be mentioned in the terminal where you startet RUNINSTALLER.

Thanks you all.

Our problem is solved.

We need to apply HP Unix patch. (Quality pack and other support pack).

After that installation is sucessfully compluted.

Thanks and Regards,
