This section describes how to install Oracle Database on computers that do not meet the typical scenario. It covers the following topics:. Dynamic addressing allows a computer to have a different IP address each time it connects to the network. In some cases, the IP address can change while the computer is still connected. This lets you add a new computer to the network without having to manually assign that computer a unique IP address.
However, before installing Oracle Database onto a computer that uses the DHCP protocol, you need to install a loopback adapter to assign a local IP address to that computer. You can install Oracle Database on a computer that has multiple IP addresses, also known as a multihomed computer. Typically, a multihomed computer has multiple network cards.
Each IP address is associated with a host name; additionally, you can set up aliases for the host name. Clients must be able to access the computer using this host name, or using aliases for this host name. To check, ping the host name from the client computers using the short name host name only and the full name host name and domain name.
Both must work. In the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. A computer with multiple aliases is registered with the naming service under a single IP but with multiple aliases. The naming service resolves any of those aliases to the same computer. You can install Oracle Database on a non-networked computer. If the computer, such as a laptop, is configured for DHCP and you plan to connect the computer to the network after the Oracle Database installation, perform these steps before you install Oracle Database on the non-networked computer.
The loopback adapter and local IP address simulate a networked computer. If you connect the computer to the network, Oracle Database still uses the local IP and host name. For example, if you installed a loopback adapter on a computer called mycomputer on the mydomain.
If you connect the computer to a network after installation, the Oracle Database instance on your computer can work with other instances on the network. Remember that you must have installed a loopback adapter on your computer.
When you install a loopback adapter, the loopback adapter assigns a local IP address for your computer. After you install a loopback adapter on your computer, you have at least two network adapters on your computer: your own network adapter and the loopback adapter. Oracle Database needs to have Windows using the loopback adapter as the primary adapter. The primary adapter is determined by the order in which you installed the adapters: it is the last adapter installed.
If you install additional network adapters after you install the loopback adapter, you need to deinstall the loopback adapter and reinstall it. You are installing on a non-networked computer and plan to connect the computer to a network after installation. If there is a loopback adapter installed, you would see a section that lists the values for the loopback adapter.
For example:. Windows reports on the last network adapter installed. This means that if you install additional network adapters after you install the loopback adapter, you need to remove and reinstall the loopback adapter. The loopback adapter must be the last network adapter installed on the computer. From the Start menu, select Settings , then Control Panel. In the Hardware Type window, select Network adapters , and click Next.
Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and select Properties. This displays the Network and Dial-up Connections control panel. Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually "Local Area Connection 2". Select Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:.
In Full computer name , make sure you see the host name and the domain name, for example, sales. In Computer name , you should see the host name, and in Full computer name , you should see the host name and domain name. Using the previous example, the host name would be sales and the domain would be us. Click More. In Primary DNS suffix of this computer , the domain name, for example, us. In the Is the hardware connected?
In the The following hardware is already installed on your computer window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device , and click Next. In the The wizard can help you install other hardware window, select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list , and click Next. From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing window, select Network adapters , and click Next.
In the The wizard is ready to install your hardware window, click Next. Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections Control Panel. This is usually named "Local Area Connection 2". Choose Properties.
Click Change. In Computer name , you should see the hostname, and in Full computer name , you should see the host name and domain name. In Primary DNS suffix of this computer , you should see the domain name, for example, us. In the Device Manager window, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall. This section describes the storage options for storing Oracle data files and, optionally, Oracle database recovery files. After you choose the storage method that you want to use for each file type, use the following sections to configure the required storage:. If you want to create a database during the installation, you must choose one of the following storage options for the data files:.
If you want to enable automated backups during the installation, you must choose one of the following storage options for recovery files the flash recovery area :. The storage option that you choose for recovery files can be the same as or different to the option you choose for the data files. For more information about these options, see the "Database Storage Options" section.
For information about how to configure disk storage before you start the installation, see one of the following sections depending on your choice:. To use a file system for database or recovery file storage, see the "Creating Directories for Oracle Data Files or Recovery Files" section.
If you decide to place the Oracle database or recovery files on a file system, use the following guidelines when deciding where to place them:. You can choose either a single file system or more than one file system to store the data files:. If you want to use a single file system, choose a file system on a physical device that is dedicated to the database. For best performance and reliability, choose a redundant array of independent disks RAID device or a logical volume on more than one physical device and implement the stripe and mirror everything SAME methodology.
If you want to use more than one file system, choose file systems on separate physical devices that are dedicated to the database. You must choose either the Advanced database creation option or the Custom installation type during the installation to implement this method.
If you intend to create a preconfigured database during the installation, the file system or file systems that you choose must have at least MB of free disk space. For production databases, you must estimate the disk space requirement depending how you plan to use database.
For optimum performance, the file systems that you choose should be on physical devices that are used only by the database. The default location suggested by Oracle Universal Installer for the database file directory is a subdirectory of the Oracle base directory. However, this default location is not recommended for production databases.
If you place the Oracle recovery files on a file system, use the following guidelines when deciding where to place them:. To prevent disk failure from making both the data files and the recovery files unavailable, place the recovery files in a file system on a different physical disk from the data files. If you choose the Custom installation type or the Advanced database configuration option, you can specify a different disk quota value.
After you create the database, you can also use Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control or Database Control to specify a different value. To create directories for the Oracle database or recovery files on separate file systems from the Oracle base directory, follow these steps:. If you are using the same file system for more than one type of file, add the disk space requirements for each type to determine the total disk space requirement.
Otherwise see the "Stopping Existing Oracle Services" section. If you plan to use Automatic Storage Management ASM to manage database files for your databases, use the procedures in this section to prepare disk groups before you install an Automatic Storage Management instance. You will follow these general steps to configure Automatic Storage Management:. If you plan to install Oracle Database using interactive mode, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you for the Automatic Storage Management disk configuration information during the installation.
If you plan to install Oracle Database using silent or noninteractive mode, you will need to manually configure the disks before performing the installation. To identify the storage requirements for using Automatic Storage Management, you must determine how many devices and the amount of free disk space that you require. To complete this task, follow these steps:. Determine whether you want to use Automatic Storage Management for Oracle data files, recovery files, or both.
If you plan to enable automated backups during the installation, you can choose Automatic Storage Management as the storage mechanism for recovery files by specifying an ASM disk group for the flash recovery area. Depending how you choose to create a database during the installation, you have the following options:. If you select an installation method that runs Oracle Database Configuration Assistant in interactive mode, by choosing the Advanced database configuration option for example, then you can decide whether you want to use the same ASM disk group for data files and recovery files, or you can choose to use different disk groups for each file type.
Ideally, you should create separate ASM disk groups for data files and recovery files. The same choice is available to you if you use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant after the installation to create a database.
If you select an installation type that runs Oracle Database Configuration Assistant in noninteractive mode, then you must use the same ASM disk group for data files and recovery files. Decide on the Automatic Storage Management redundancy level that you want to use for each Automatic Storage Management disk group you will create. The redundancy level that you choose for the Automatic Storage Management disk group determines how ASM mirrors files in the disk group and determines the number of disks and amount of disk space that you require.
The redundancy levels are as follows:. An external redundancy disk group requires a minimum of one disk device. The effective disk space in an external redundancy disk group is the sum of the disk space in all of its devices. Because Automatic Storage Management does not mirror data in an external redundancy disk group, Oracle recommends that you use only RAID or similar devices that provide their own data protection mechanisms as disk devices in this type of disk group.
In a normal redundancy disk group, by default Automatic Storage Management uses two-way mirroring for data files and three-way mirroring for control files, to increase performance and reliability. Alternatively, you can use two-way mirroring or no mirroring. Unfortunately our company has been very slack with upgrading its software and there are no signs of a willingness to change this. I am aware that Oracle is only looking to support version 11g Release 2 for Windows 7 but this doesn't help us right now.
Does anyone know of a situation whereas Oracle 8i would be able to be installed. Any method would be appreciated. You can't install that Oracle version directly on a Windows 7 machine, but you should be able to install it on Windows XP Mode.
You can check it on Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Thank you. Just same as your company we've been slack in upgrading and until now we are still using oracle 8i. After the fresh installation of windows 7 then i've installed Oracle 8i and it work. I don't know how did it happen. Office Office Exchange Server.
I am currently attempting to install 8i on a Windows box, and it has not worked yet. Tue, 24 August Jason Grandmaison Messages: 1 Registered: August Hello, I was wondering if anyone was able to install the Oracle 8i v8. Also, same goes for SQL Server 6. Thanks, Jason Grandmaison Report message to a moderator. Thu, 26 August Jackie Bhula Messages: 1 Registered: August I need the same info I am also wanting to install Oracle 8i or 10 on my Window server Please let me know on compatiablity Tue, 28 September Sun, 10 October
