• Run Check

bash# /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep "Memory size" [Check RAM size]
bash# /usr/sbin/swap -s [check swap]
bash# df -k /tmp [check /tmp size (>400mb)]
bash# uname -r [check solaris version]

bash# pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWsprox SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWxwfnt

bash# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep hosts
bash# hostname
bash# domainname

• Fist of all add 3 OS groups.

bash#groupadd dba
bash#groupadd oinstall
bash#groupadd oper

• Create user 'oracle'

{Determine oracle user exist or not)
bash# id -a oracle
{if exist, should be look like this=
uid=440(oracle) gid=200(oinstall) groups=201(dba),202(oper))

{create oracle user)
# useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g dba -G oinstall -m -s /bin/ksh oracle
