Oracle Installation and Patching in AIX for 9i R2

I had a strnage expereince today..We are setting up a Dataguard for one of our clientIt is on AIX 5.3 with Oracle 9.2.0.6Software provided by the clients.

I started the installation after doing all the prerwquisites checkIt started but it was prompting for JDK directory...i was confused for a while where the JDK is but somehow i managed to find the instalation under /user/java14

but what happened after that was even more childishOracle installation was successful but the relinkimg failed witht the error "unable to invoke target ctx....ins_rdbms.mk

I tried installing 3 times but failed then got the doubt about the Version of Oracle Software...as expected it was the Oracle9i for AIX 4.3 version....Now the client is downloading again...What to do...but new thing learned today

Day 2
Just to add on yesterday inputswhile i was patching the 9.2.0.6 around 99% of installation a windows was appearing saying that "cannot open or remove a file LIBNJNI.so which is currntly runnng ,"i tried 3-4 times

but at the end ..the reason i missed out step in the README.txt i checked the os process ps-ef...but no oracle process were runnningtheni executed /usr/sbin/slibclean which removes the libraires from Kernel and Memory if accessed bu the OSTHen the installation went smoothOne more new thing i learned today.

.in UNIX i cloned the production to a new server which is going to act as new production..I tried to mount the databasse but i was keep on getting the error cannot open the password file...but alter database open command opens the DB

but when i startup the DB again i had to issue alter database openthen i realised in UNIX the password file is case case sensisitve ORACLE_SID should match the password file like orapwSIDSilly stuff but i forgot ....Metalink helped
