10G on Solaris x86

Well, I installed it on Sunday evening and everything worked as expected. I installed on Solaris10 which it isn't certified for (of course as Solaris10 isn't released) but everything appeared to work as expected. For anyone else who wants to try you need to use the parameter:

/cdrom/cdrom0/runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

to make the installer ignore the fact you aren't installing on one of the supported Solaris versions (don't forget to set your "shmsys:shminfo_shmmax" parameter in /etc/system for the shared memory.

Comments:

Actually, in Solaris 10, configuring shared memory and IPC parameters is totally different. You'll want to investigate the resource controls which now govern this behavior. The good news is that by default you shouldn't have to do anything at all. Hooray!

I must confess I'd been told of this earlier and hadn't tried (the entries in my /etc/system are there from long ago.) The comment was also aimed at all the Solaris 9 & 8 users who still have to worry about it.

HI Are there any howtos to install Oracle10G on Solaris 9 (x86), or do you plan to write one how you installed it on SOlaris 10 (x86)? Is following the instalation guide from Oracle sufficient? Thx
