"God
is the friend of silence. See how nature-trees, flowers,
grass-grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to
touch souls."

How
to install Oracle software remotely?
Remote
Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
If
you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the
following steps. These steps are applicable only if your source and
target machine are running Unix.
For
example, you can install Oracle Software from your home from
Washington, DC to a target source in California.
1.
Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
2.
Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
3.
On the target machine, find your target machine name with the output
of the /usr/bin/hostname
4.
On the source machine, login as a user.
5.
On the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost
+ target-machine-name
6.
Become root user by typing: su (don’t use -)
7.
Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps –ef |grep vold (if
you see an entry that contains /usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is
running. Then skip to Step 10.
8.
If not then do the following: # mkdir –p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
9.
#
mount –F hsfs –r cdrom-device
/cdrom/your-cd-file-name
10.
Add the following line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share –F nfs
–o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
11.
Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server: # ps –ef | grep
nfsd
12.
If you see an entry that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd –a 16, then nfsd
is running and skip to Step 16.
13.
If nfsd is running, then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
14.
If nfsd is not running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server
start
15.
Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server again by typing: #
ps –ef | grep nfsd
16.
Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by
typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
17.
Now, log in to the target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name
–l user
(not root)
18.
Then log in as the root user by typing: #
su
19.
Go to the source machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name
,then Skip to 24.
20.
If you cannot change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have
an auto-mounter on your network, then create amount point by typing
the following commands.
21.
# mkdir /remote_products
22.
# /usr/sbin/mount –F nfs –r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name
/remote_products
23.
# cd /remote_products
24.
Redirect the target machine display to source machine by typing: #
DISPLAY=source-machine:0; export
DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
25.
Start the Web Start Installer by typing: # ./installer
(or whatever the installer name
program is).
