首先是检查系统情况：

root@newtrade1 # /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep "Memory size"
Memory size: 32768 Megabytes
root@newtrade1 # /usr/sbin/swap -l
swapfile             dev  swaplo blocks   free
/dev/md/dsk/d20     85,20     16 63498224 63498224
root@newtrade1 # df -k /data
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/emcpower4g  619339184 280169072 332976721    46%    /data

对于当前的服务器而言，硬件方面不是问题。

下面是检查操作系统的情况：

root@newtrade1 # uname -a
SunOS newtrade1 5.10 Generic_127111-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490
root@newtrade1 # pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWxwfnt
system      SUNWarc   Lint Libraries (usr)
system      SUNWbtool CCS tools bundled with SunOS
system      SUNWhea   SunOS Header Files
system      SUNWi1of  ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) Optional Fonts
system      SUNWlibm  Math & Microtasking Library Headers & Lint Files (Usr)
system      SUNWlibms Math & Microtasking Libraries (Usr)
system      SUNWsprot Solaris Bundled tools
system      SUNWtoo   Programming Tools
system      SUNWxwfnt X Window System platform. required fonts

对于Solaris 10而言，安装920这种低版本的数据库，也不会存在问题。

检查JRE所需版本，最新版本要求是1.1.8：

root@newtrade1 # java -version
java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode)

下面检查/etc/system文件，确保其中的设置大于Oracle推荐的默认设置。

这里由于安装过一个其他版本的数据库，因此不需要在进行调整了：

set noexec_user_stack=1
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=21474836479
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10

如果这里进行设置，需要重启服务器。当然Solaris10已经有办法不重启系统来修改这些参数的设置了，这里就不详细描述了。

执行下面的语句创建oracle用户和dba、oinstall组，由于当前服务器上，oracle用户已经存在，就跳过这个步骤了。

# groupadd dba
# groupadd oinstall
# mkdir /export/home/oracle
# useradd -g oinstall -G dba -d /export/home/oracle oracle
# passwd oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /export/home/oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /data

下面切换为oracle用户，编辑.profile文件如下：

umask 022
ORACLE_SID=single92
export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_BASE=/data/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/data/oracle/product/9.2
export ORACLE_HOME
NLS_LANG='SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK'
export NLS_LANG
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export PATH

由于采用SILENT安装模式，因此不需要设置DISPLAY参数。

下面开始安装过程，首先编辑一个my_install.rsp文件，内容大致如下：

[General]

RESPONSEFILE_VERSION=1.7.0

[SESSION]
UNIX_GROUP_NAME="oinstall"

FROM_LOCATION="/data/oracle9/oracle_cd/disk1/stage/products.jar"

ORACLE_HOME="/data/oracle/product/9.2"

ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OracleHome92"

TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT={"oracle.server","9.2.0.1.0"}

DEINSTALL_LIST={"oracle.server","9.2.0.1.0"}

SHOW_ROOTSH_CONFIRMATION=true

LOCATION_FOR_DISK2="/data/oracle9/oracle_cd/disk2"
LOCATION_FOR_DISK3="/data/oracle9/oracle_cd/disk3"

#
# Oracle9i Database
#

[oracle.server_9.2.0.1.0]

COMPONENT_LANGUAGES={"en","zh_CN"}

INSTALL_TYPE="EE"

s_cfgtyperet="Customized"

[oracle.rdbms_9.2.0.1.0]

sl_dbaOperGroups={"dba","dba"}

[oracle.assistants.dbca_9.2.0.1.0]

OPTIONAL_CONFIG_TOOLS={"dbca"}

s_responseFileName="/data/oracle9/oracle_cd/disk1/response/my_dbca.rsp"

简单描述一下主要参数的含义：

FROM_LOCATION参数指出Oracle读取配置信息的位置，这里最好通过绝对路径指出products.jar文件的位置。在10g以上版本，这个文件变为products.xml，从这里也可以看出Oracle的转变过程。

ORACLE_HOME和ORACLE_HOME_NAME分别指出ORACLE_HOME的路径和ORACLE_HOME对应的名称。

TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT参数为安装组件和版本信息。

DEINSTALL_LIST参数为对应的卸载信息和版本。

SHOW_ROOTSH_CONFIRMATION设置显示运行root脚本的提示信息。其他的SHOW_参数都可以忽略。

LOCATION_FOR_DISK2和LOCATION_FOR_DISK3：这两个参数是9i特有的，10g以后默认都是一个安装文件，而9i包括了3个，因此需要这两个参数指出DISK2和DISK3两个安装文件的位置。

COMPONENT_LANGUAGES参数设置安装的语句，这里添加了简体中文。

INSTALL_TYPE参数设置安装类似，EE表示企业版。

s_cfgtyperet：选择定制方式，在安装结束后通过dbca来建立数据库。

sl_dbaOperGroups设置SYSDBA和SYSOPER对应的操作系统组信息。

OPTIONAL_CONFIG_TOOLS设置在安装结束后启动DBCA来进行建库操作。

s_responseFileName参数设置dbca的silent安装所需的response文件位置。

下面编辑dbca所需要的response文件，my_dbca.rsp：

[GENERAL]

RESPONSEFILE_VERSION = "9.2.0"

CREATE_TYPE = "createDatabase"

[CREATEDATABASE]

GDBNAME = "single92.us.oracle.com"

SID = "single92"

TEMPLATENAME = "New Database"

CHARACTERSET = "ZHS16GBK"

NATIONALCHARACTERSET= "AL16UTF16"

DBCA的response文件中的参数都很容易理解，这里就不详细描述了。

需要注意，由于当前环境下已经存在高版本数据库，因此这里就不启用NETCA进行LISTENER和TNSNAMES的设置了。如果需要进行设置可以设置参数OPTIONAL_CONFIG_TOOLS和s_responseFileName，方法与dbca设置类似。

bash-3.00$ ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /data/oracle9/oracle_cd/disk1/response/my_install.rsp

The installation of Oracle9i Database was successful, but some optional configuration tools failed or were canceled.
Please check /data/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2008-09-25_03-00-28PM.log for more details.

9i的silent和10g以上还不一样，必要要求一个可用DISPLAY设置，即使在Silent模式下根本不用这个设置。

下面检查一下日志信息：

bash-3.00$ more /data/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2008-09-25_03-00-28PM.log
silentInstall2008-09-25_03-00-28PM.log

The installation of Oracle9i Database was successful, but some optional configuration tools failed or were canceled.

问题在于没有执行root.sh脚本，下面手工执行root.sh：

root@newtrade1 # /data/oracle/product/9.2/root.sh
Running Oracle9 root.sh script...

The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=  /data/oracle/product/9.2

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: 
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]:
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]:
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]:

Entries will be added to the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

下面手工启动dbca：

bash-3.00$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -responseFile /data/oracle9/oracle_cd/disk1/response/my_dbca.rsp
Look at the log file "/data/oracle/admin/single92/create/single92.log" for further details.

居然在安装全程没有任何一点的提示，看来10g以上的Silent安装已经人性化多了。检查一下日志文件：

bash-3.00$ more /data/oracle/admin/single92/create/single92.log
Database creation completed.  See logfiles at /data/oracle/admin/single92/create for details.

Database Information:

  global database name:  single92.us.oracle.com
  database system identifier (SID):  single92
  SYS account password:  change_on_install
  SYSTEM account password:  manager.
Note: All other database accounts have been locked. Oracle highly RECOMMENDS to change the default passwords of all the users.

至此9201的SILENT安装完成：

bash-3.00$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
