6 Appendix - Install Oracle Patches Oracle Corporation may occasionally recommend that patches are installed. It is assumed that the DBA is capable of downloading patches as described in Section 2.2 and then installing them. Full instructions are supplied with each patch and so are not repeated in this document. The main patch which users may wish to use at present is patch 10.2.0.3.

7 Appendix - Installing Loopback Adapter If you install Oracle 10g R2 on a machine having dynamic IP address or (i.e on DHCP, which is default on XP machines), the Oracle need you setup a loopback adapter. The loopback adaptor provides an static IP address to the machine and hence Oracle can listen on a constant IP address. This process of setup Loopback adapter is not required if you have configured your machine to static IP address. IMPORTANT Please note that the loopback adapter must be installed before the Oracle server installation. The detailed instruction on “How to install Loopback adapter” can be found on Oracle’s web site. 2.4.5 Installing a Loopback Adapter However this document provides a cut down version which will be sufficient for our case

7.1 Checking if a Loopback Adapter Is Installed on Your Computer

To check if a loopback adapter is installed on your computer, run the ipconfig /all command: C:\> ipconfig /all

If there is a loopback adapter installed, you would see a section that lists the values for the loopback adapter. For example:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Loopback Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 02-00-4C-4F-4F-50 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.25.129 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

7.2 Installing a Loopback Adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP

To install a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel. 2. Double-click “Add Hardware” to start the “Add Hardware wizard”. 3. In the Welcome window, click Next.

4. In the Is the hardware connected? window, select “Yes, I have already connected the hardware”, and click Next.

5. In the “The following hardware is already installed on your computer” window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device, and click Next.

6. In the “The wizard can help you install other hardware” window, select “Install the hardware that I manually select from a list”, and click Next.

7. From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing window, select “Network adapters”, and click Next.

8. In the Select Network Adapter window, make the following selections: o Manufacturer: Select “Microsoft”. o Network Adapter: Select “Microsoft Loopback Adapter”.

9. Click Next. 10. In the “The wizard is ready to install your hardware” window, click Next. 11. In the Completing the “Add Hardware Wizard” window, click Finish. 12. If you are using Windows 2003, restart your computer. 13. Right-click “My Network Places” on the desktop and choose “Properties”. This displays the

Network Connections Control Panel. 14. Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named "Local Area

Connection 2". Choose Properties. 15. On the “General tab”, select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, and click Properties. 16. In the “Properties” dialog box, click “Use the following IP address” and do the following:

• IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:

o 192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255) o 10.10.10.10 . Although Oracle say to use 192.168.x.x or 10.10.10.10, I

recommend to use 10.10.10.10 as 192.168.x.x. could be used on a local router

• Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.

• Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.

• Leave all other fields empty.

• Click OK.

• Click OK.

• Close Network Connections.

• Restart the computer.

Add a line to the SYSTEM_DRIVE:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following format, after the localhost line:

IP_address hostname.domainname hostname

where:

• IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered in step 16.

• hostname is the name of the computer.

• domainname is the name of the domain. For example: 10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer

So the final hosts file should look like this (ignoring the comments on the file) 127.0.0.1 localhost

10.10.10.10 <computer_name> Check the network configuration: Open “System” in the Control Panel, and select the “Computer Name” tab. In “Full computer name”, make sure you see the host name and the domain name, for example, sales.us.mycompany.com. Click “Change”. In “Computer name”, you should see the hostname, and in “Full computer name”, you should see the host name and domain name. Using the previous example, the host name would be sales and the domain would be us.mycompany.com. Click “More”. In “Primary DNS suffix” of this computer, you should see the domain name, for example, us.mycompany.com.
