Appendix A Oracle Installation and Setup Procedures
Installing the Oracle 9i Database
An installation Summary panel appears.
Step 14 Click Install to proceed.
The Database Configuration Assistant prompts you for new passwords for the SYS and SYSTEM
accounts.
Step 15 Enter the passwords that you wish to use for these accounts and click OK when done.
Step 16 When installation is complete, an End of Installation panel appears. Click Exit to close the Oracle
installer.
Note You do not need to create a user account for Virtual Network Data Server at this time. The
account is established after Virtual Network Data Server installation.
e. Record the Oracle GDN, SID, install path and database hostname in Table A-1 on page A-6
f. View installation logs when installation is complete. Installation logs are located here:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions.log
If you run the Oracle installer again, the install actions log is renamed with an embedded
date-stamped name such as: installActions2002-01-24_xxx.
Note About Oracle Services: After Oracle installation, several Windows services are created.
Virtual Network Data Server only requires the Oracle services listed below. These Windows
services should be configured to automatically start when the PC is booted. All other Oracle
services may be configured for manual start/stop unless specifically needed for other uses.
The following services are required for Virtual Network Data Server to run:
OracleOraHome92TNSListener and OracleService<DB SID>.
Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) installation is now complete.
After Virtual Network Data Server is installed, one final configuration step is required to finish Oracle
setup for Virtual Network Data Server. This step is described in the “Configuring the Oracle Database”
section on page A-7, but is not performed until after installation of Virtual Network Data Server.
Proceed to the next step of the installation workflow (as described in the “Installation Workflow” section
on page 4-1).
Installing the Oracle 9i Client
The Oracle client is always installed on the same host PC as Virtual Network Data Server. The Oracle
client is required by Virtual Network Data Server to communicate with an Oracle database located on
another host PC.
Note If you have already installed the Oracle 9i database on this host, do not install the Oracle 9i client.
Warning
Use caution when installing Oracle for use with Virtual Network Data Server. Recovery is difficult if
Oracle is incorrectly installed.
