#vi /etc/hosts save the file and ping the system by your hostname to check the hosts file entry . the linux server should be ping from the Host machine ping ipaddress ---- it will work ping vmserver ---- it will not work we need to add the entry in the host file on xp c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in the hosts file put the ip and vmserver name and ping the server by the name i t should work. -----------------------------------------------------------------create one group <dba> # groupadd dba Create one user <oracle> # useradd -g dba oracle After creating the oracle user set its password by # passwd oracle ftt123 ------------------------------------------------------------------Folder for oracle installation ------------------------------------------------------------------# mkdir ora01 # ls to see newly created folder's permissions it should be under oracle user with db a group Change the permission on the ora01 folder chown -R oracle:dba ora01 after giving the ownership to oracle make the following directories as cd ora01 mkdir -p product/10.2.0/db_1 this is the complete oracle home after running the chown command the permissions will change to oralce:dba, -R is for recursive change means whatever new folder will be create in ora01 it will inherit the permission from the ora01 folder. in the ora01 we will use it as oracle home. If we need to run the setup from some folder (not from cd) then create another f older to containg the uninstall package of the oracle software. in our case i have orainstaller folder to put installion packages. Transfer the oraclepackage to Linux /orainstaller directory from xp (i used wins cp utility to do this)
