Uninstalling Oracle9i (optional)

You can uninstall Oracle9i or choose to run Oracle after uninstalling SF Oracle RAC. If you do not want to uninstall Oracle, then you must unlink the Oracle binaries from the Veritas libraries.

See Unlinking the Oracle binary from Veritas libraries

If you choose to uninstall Oracle9i, use the Oracle runInstaller utility.

• If Oracle9i is installed locally on each node, run the utility on each node.
• If Oracle9i is installed on a cluster file system, run the utility once.

 To uninstall Oracle9i

1. Log in as oracle user.
2. Set the DISPLAY variable. Depending on the shell you use, execute the following command:

    

   Bourne Shell (sh or ksh)	$ DISPLAY=host:0.0;export DISPLAY
   C Shell (csh or tcsh)	$ setenv DISPLAY host:0.0

3. Run the Oracle9i runInstaller utility:

   $ /cdrom/Disk1/runInstaller

4. Select the option to uninstall the Oracle9i software.

   Refer to the Oracle9i documentation for details on this utility.

5. If necessary, remove Oracle9i from the other nodes.
