This chapter describes the requirements for installing the Oracle Database 10g Products and the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products.
This chapter contains these topics:
The platform-specific hardware and software requirements included in this installation guide were current at the time this guide was published. However, because new platforms and operating system software versions might be certified after this guide is published, review the certification matrix on the OracleMetaLink Web site for the most up-to-date list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions. The OracleMetaLink Web site is available at the following URL:
http://metalink.oracle.com
After you log in, choose Certify & Availability from the menu on the left side of the screen. From there, you can view information about certifications by product or by platform, and view product availability.
If you are unable to access this site, contact Oracle Support.
The requirements for the Oracle Database 10g Products installation type are as follows.
Your system must have Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1) before you can install the Oracle Database 10g Products installation type.

If you are installing Oracle Database 10g Products into an existing Oracle home, you first must identify the Oracle home directory that the Oracle Database installation uses. If you do not know the path of the Oracle home directory you can check it using Oracle Universal Installer.
To check the path of the Oracle home directory, follow these steps:
Choose Start > Programs > Oracle - HOME_NAME > Oracle Installation Products Universal Installer.
When the Welcome screen appears, click Installed Products.
The Inventory screen appears, listing all of the Oracle homes on the system and the products installed in each Oracle home.
In the Inventory screen, expand each Oracle home and locate Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
Click Close and then Cancel to exit Oracle Universal Installer.
Have the Oracle home name available when you use Chapter 3, " Installing the Oracle Database Companion CD Software " for the installation procedures.
Verify that the file system that contains the Oracle home directory has enough disk space for the installation. On Windows system, the Oracle home directory requires 100 MB of available disk space on the system drive and 530 MB in the Oracle home drive in order to install products available on the Oracle Database Companion CD.
When you install Oracle Database 10g Companion Products, you have the option of installing Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle HTML DB, or both Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB.
This section contains these topics:
Before you install Oracle HTTP Server into a new Oracle home, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Oracle HTTP Server must meet the following hardware requirements for NTFS systems:
Physical RAM: Minimum size 256 MB, recommended 512 MB
Virtual Memory: Double the RAM
Temp directory: 100 MB of disk space
Disk space for Companion CD products:
| Products for Installation | System Drive Disk Space | Oracle Home Disk Space |
|---|---|---|
| Oracle HTTP Server |
100 MB | 162 MB |
| Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB | 80 MB | 535 MB |
For FAT 32 systems, use slightly higher settings.
Oracle HTTP Server has the following minimum operating system and service pack requirements:
Windows NT Server 4.0 with service pack 6a or higher
Windows NT includes: Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows Server Enterprise Edition 4.0, and Terminal Server Edition
Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or higher
Windows 2000 includes: Window 2000 Professional, Windows 20000 Server, Windows 200 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, and Terminal Services
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
Windows XP Professional: supported for Oracle HTTP Server
The requirements for Oracle HTML DB are as follows.
Verify that the file system that contains the Oracle home directory contains at least 460 MB of free disk space for the installation. The system drive disk space requirement is 100 MB.
Oracle HTML DB requires either Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1) or Oracle9i release 9.2.0.3. Your Oracle Database does not need to be installed on the same system where you will install Oracle HTTP Server.
Oracle HTML DB must have access to Oracle HTTP Server in order to run. If you plan to install Oracle HTML DB into an existing Oracle home, check that the system has an Oracle home directory that contains Oracle HTTP Server release 9.0.4 or higher with mod_plsql. Oracle home directories for the following products meet this requirement:
Oracle HTTP Server 10g
Oracle Identity Management 10g (part of Oracle Application Server 10g)
If the system does not meet these requirements, you will need to install Oracle HTTP Server 10g when you install the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products.
Oracle XML DB first must be installed in the Oracle database that you want to use. If you are using a preconfigured database created either during an installation or by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA), Oracle XML DB is already installed and configured.
