    Oracle 10g install on Solaris 10 workaround

    Quick work around for installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 (in our case on a v20z).

    After creating your staging area you run the Oracle installer and get an error similar to the following

    $ ./runInstaller    
    Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
    
    Checking installer requirements...
    
    Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9.    Actual 5.10
                                          Failed <<<<
    

    To work around this you need to edit the oraparam.ini file, in our case this is /export/ora/Disk1/install/oraparam.ini.
    Edit the section

    [Certified Versions]
    #You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
    LURE_MESSAGE
    Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9
    

    to be
    [Certified Versions]
    #You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
    LURE_MESSAGE
    Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9,5.10
    

    And thats it, just run through your install as normal.
