5.5.2 Bug 28650933
Installing and using Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 on Oracle Solaris 11.4 may fail if the
library libnls.so is not available in standard system library paths,
since the Oracle Secure Backup libraries depend on libnls.so.
Workaround:
Upgrade the Oracle Solaris OS version to Oracle Solaris 11.4.6.4.0. and then install
Oracle Secure Backup 12.2. Alternate workaround is to copy the file
/usr/ib/64/libnls.so.1 from an Oracle Solaris 11.3 machine to the
/usr/lib/64 path in the Oracle Solaris 11.4 machine where Oracle
Secure Backup 12.2 needs to be installed.
5.5.3 Bug 24355490
When installing or upgrading an Oracle Grid Infrastructure home on Oracle Solaris 10, if the desired software location resides under a soft link, then the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installer incorrectly sets the physical path as the software location.
Workaround:
Perform the following steps:
-
Set the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installer specifying the complete path to the desired Oracle home path:
Complete Oracle home path/gridSetup.sh -
Proceed with the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation.
