2.10.6 Preventing Oracle Clusterware Installation Errors Caused by stty Commands
During an Oracle Clusterware installation, Oracle Universal Installer uses SSH (if
available) to run commands and copy files to the other nodes. During the installation,
hidden files on the system (for example, .cshrc) will cause makefile and other
installation errors if they contain stty commands.
To avoid this problem, you must modify these files to suppress all output on STDERR,
as in the following examples:
■ Bourne or Korn shell:
if [ -t 0 ]; then
stty intr ^C
fi
■ C shell:
test -t 0
if ($status == 0) then
stty intr ^C
endif
2.11 Configuring Software Owner User Environments
You run OUI from the user account that you want to own the Oracle Clusterware
installation (oracle or crs). However, before you start OUI you must configure the
environment of the user performing the Oracle Clusterware installation. In addition,
create other required Oracle software owners, if needed.
To set the Oracle software owners’ environments, follow these steps, for each software
owner (crs, oracle, asm):
1. Start a new terminal session; for example, start an X terminal (xterm).
2. Enter the following command to ensure that X Window applications can display
on this system:
$ xhost + hostname
2-26 Oracle Clusterware Installation Guide
Note: When SSH is not available, the Installer uses the rsh and
rcp commands instead of ssh and scp.
If there are hidden files that contain stty commands that are loaded
by the remote shell, then OUI indicates an error and stops the
installation.
The hostname is the name of the local host.
3. If you are not already logged in to the system where you want to install the
software, then log in to that system as the software owner user.
4. If you are not logged in as the user, then switch to the software owner user you are
configuring. For example, with the crs user:
$ su - crs
