Running the rootpre.sh Script

Run the rootpre.sh script only the first time you install Oracle Database on IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit).

Note:

You do not have to run the rootpre.sh script on an IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit) server that has an Oracle Database software already installed.

Use the following procedure to run the rootpre.sh script:

Download the Oracle Database installation image files (db_home.zip) and extract the files into a new Oracle home directory. For example:

$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 
$ chgrp oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 
$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 
$ unzip -q /tmp/db_home.zip

Switch the user to root:
```
$ su - root
password:
#
```
Run the rootpre.sh script using the following command:
```
# $ORACLE_HOME/clone/rootpre.sh
```
Exit from the root account:
```
# exit
```
