Troubleshooting Oracle8i and OSD
Installation Problems and Error Messages
Potential Difficulties Installing the OSDs with the
Oracle Universal Installer
■ The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) uses an inventory file to track
which components of the OSDs have been installed on each of the
cluster nodes. A single inventory file is maintained on the node from
which the OUI was initially run. All subsequent uses of the OUI must be
made from that same installing node.
■ Installing onto a cluster node that already contains some or all of the
OSD components will likely result in an incomplete installation. If
difficulties persist, contact your support representative for assistance.
■ The OUI uses the network connections to transfer files from the primary
node to the other cluster nodes. Use the ping utility to ensure that proper
node-to-node connectivity exists.
■ The OUI requires administrator rights on all cluster nodes. To verify
connectivity and access rights for each node, issue the following from
the command line on the primary node:
C: net use \\machine_name\C$ * /User: <admin_login>
in which the “*” results in the system prompting you for a password,
and the password is not echoed.
If successful, the net use command returns:
“The command completed successfully.”
