A Patches and Packages

Oracle recommends that you check for required patches and packages for Oracle Application Server, Oracle Database, and Oracle Real Application Clusters Databases for your operating system platform and version.


Note:

This appendix contains the required patches, packages, and other software requirements for supported operating systems. For the most current list of supported operating system specific software, refer to OracleMetaLink: 
http://metalink.oracle.com

Refer to the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for more detailed information on Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, IBM AIX, HP Tru64, and Windows platforms, including patching and other software requirements for Application Server. The books are distributed on the Oracle Application Server Disk 1 CD-ROM.

Refer to the Oracle Database 10g Installation Guide for UNIX Systems for the appropriate version of your existing database for database requirements.

This appendix contains the following sections:

Operating System Patches and Packages

The operating system must have all the required patches for the Management Agent, Management Service, and Management Repository. For the latest patch information, you must actively consult the operating system vendors' Web sites to ensure that the target host is at the right patch level.

While Oracle recommends that you deploy the latest available patch clusters, the only requirement is that the operating system be patched to this level or later. You may also run the installer to find out which patches failed pre-requisite checking and install only those patches.

Solaris Operating System Patches

For the Solaris Operating Systems, Enterprise Manager requires JDK 1.4.2.

You can fulfill all the patch requirements for Solaris Operating System Release 8 and Release 9 by installing the J2SE patch cluster and the domain name patch (112138-01 or greater). The domain name patch is not required for either the silent or interactive Additional Management Agent installation.

Obtain the patch cluster at: 

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access

Note:

The following patches within the J2SE patch cluster are not required when performing silent Management Agent installations on the Solaris Operating System:

  • 108652-76 X11 6.4.1: Xsun patch

  • 108921-18 CDE 1.4: dtwm patch

  • 108940-57 Motif 1.2.7 and 2.1.1: Runtime library patch for Solaris 8

  • 112003-03 SunOS 5.8: Unable to load fontset in 64-bit Solaris 8 iso-1 or iso-15

  • 108773-18 SunOS 5.8: IIIM and X Input & Output Method patch

These patches are required when interactively installing the Management Agent through the Oracle Universal Installer graphical user interface.


Solaris Operating System Packages

Check that your computer contains the following operating system packages. If the packages are not present, the installer cannot continue. 

SUNWarc
SUNWbtool
SUNWhea
SUNWlibm
SUNWlibms
SUNWsprot
SUNWsprox
SUNWtoo
SUNWi1of
SUNWxwfnt
SUNWi1cs
SUNWi15cs

The last two packages (SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs) are required for the ISO8859-1 and ISO8859-15 codesets.


Note:

The packages SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs are not required when performing silent Management Agent installations on the Solaris Operating System.

These packages are required when interactively installing the Management Agent through the Oracle Universal Installer graphical user interface.


To check if an operating system package is installed on your computer, run the pkginfo command with the name of the package. The syntax for running pkginfo is: 

pkginfo package_name1 package_name2 ...

For example, to check if all of the packages listed above are installed on your computer, run the following command: 

pkginfo SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWsprox
SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWxwfnt SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs

If your computer is missing a package, contact your system administrator.
