Installation and Configuration Considerations for Oracle MDB

The following section describes the installation and configuration considerations for Oracle MDB.

Installing the Solaris Oracle Server

For detailed installation instructions, see the Installation Guide available in the Oracle Documentation Library.

Deleting and Recreating an Oracle Database Instance

Use the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant tool to delete and create an Oracle database instance. While creating an Oracle database instance using this tool, you are prompted to enter the memory size that Oracle might use for that instance. Enter appropriate values in the SGA size and PGA Size fields on the Memory tab.

For example, enter 1198 in the SGA Size field and 399 in the PGA Size field. These suggested values are about 1.2 GB for the data and control information (SGA) and about 0.4 GB for the program area (PGA). These are the minimum recommended values for an installation with up to 10,000 computer assets.

Verify the Oracle Server Installation

You must have the correct Oracle version and patch level installed; otherwise, the DSM manager operations are likely to fail. To verify the Oracle version and patch level, run the following command:

goto $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
call ./opatch lsinventory

Configuring the Oracle MDB for Multi-Byte Language Support

When creating an Oracle database instance using the Database Configuration Assistant tool, select Use Unicode (AL32UTF8) option in the Character Sets tab to support multi-byte language.
