Install Oracle 10g and 11g in Windows XP SP2.

1 Firstly, I try to install oracle 11g in Windows XP SP2. Although I setup the loopback adaptor correctly in step #4, the em can’t be configured and started successfully. I tried the command in step #2 and #3 so many times after installation, but it failed finally. At last I resorted to installing oracle 10g in my windows from step #4.

2 Oracle 支持在具有 DHCP 分配的 IP 地址的系统上进行安装

The check result from Oracle installer is like this,

2007-11-23 10:35检查完成。此次检查的总体结果为: 未执行 <<<<

建议案: Oracle 支持在具有 DHCP 分配的 IP 地址的系统上进行安装。但在安装之前, 必须将 Microsoft LoopBack Adapter 配置为系统的主网络适配器。有关在配置有 DHCP 的系统上安装软件的详细信息, 请参阅 Installation Guide。

解决：

到控制面板/添加硬件，在向导中选择“是，已经连接了此硬件”→“网络适配器”→“Microsoft Loopback Adapter”，添加完成，你会发现新建了个“本地连接”，用的就是这个假的“Microsoft Loopback Adapter”（因为根本就没有连接这个硬件，只是骗下Oracle而已）。把这个本地连接的IP设置一下（例如10.10.10.1）。好了，现在回去重新让Oracle检测一遍吧，应该通过了吧。

常用的命令：

创建一个EM资料库
emca -repos create
重建一个EM资料库
emca -repos recreate
删除一个EM资料库
emca -repos drop
配置数据库的 Database Control
emca -config dbcontrol db
删除数据库的 Database Control配置
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
重新配置db control的端口，默认端口在1158
emca -reconfig ports
emca -reconfig ports -dbcontrol_http_port 1160
emca -reconfig ports -agent_port 3940
先设置ORACLE_SID环境变量后,启动EM console服务
emctl start dbconsole
先设置ORACLE_SID环境变量后,停止EM console服务
emctl stop dbconsole
先设置ORACLE_SID环境变量后,查看EM console服务的状态
emctl status dbconsole

配置dbconsole的步骤
emca -repos create
emca -config dbcontrol db
emctl start dbconsole
重新配置dbconsole的步骤
emca -repos drop
emca -repos create
emca -config dbcontrol db
emctl start dbconsole

3 If the em console service can not be started normally, please try to recreate the EM console,
3.1 emctl status dbconsole
3.2 emca -repos drop
emca -repos create
emca -config dbcontrol db
emctl start dbconsole
3.3 emctl stop dbconsole
emctl start dbconsole
