Jigar,

Bug which you are referring is valid for 10.2 and is fixed in 11.1 version. In above case i was trying to install 11g on solaris and hostname too was in lower case. Anyways it would be helpful for people working on 10.2 and getting this error

Hi All,

I was facing same issue , while running localconfig add script.

It has been concluded that , if your hostname is in uppercase , and platform is sun solaris , then script will fail with above error.

This is due to the known bug.4632899:

4632899 CSS NOT STARTING UP IF HOSTNAME HAS CAPITAL LETTERS- SOLARIS

So the solution is to install the 10.2.0.3 patchset first and install one-off on top of 10.2.0.3. The patchset and one-off patch can be
downloaded from metalink:

http://updates.oracle.com/download/5337014.html — 10.2.0.3 patchset
http://updates.oracle.com/download/4632899.html — patch for 4632899

Besides installing the patch, there is another option:

- Force localconfig scripts to use nawk instead of awk. “nawk” has the tolower() function. Setup a symbolic link to
“nawk”

ln -s /usr/bin/awk /usr/bin/nawk

Have a great time ahead…

Regards
