Description:
I am running the AIK v21 to install Aleph v21 on a new server.

The earlier steps were OK but in ./ikit_menu

3. Oracle database installation and configuration

3. Install database <----

I am getting the following error:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/oradata': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/oradata': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/oradata': Permission denied
<etc.>

Note: I *am* logged on as root.

I thought maybe this had to do with the permissions on the /exlibris directory but doing:

chmod 777 exlibris

that is, making it "drwxrwxrwx", but that didn't help.

Resolution:
The default placement of Oracle DB files is /exlibris/oradata and not /oradata. Most likely you entered "/" instead of /exlibris (or other mount point) for data base, which caused the problem. You can update parameters using AIK menu option "0" . Check and update if necessary Oracle parameters:

[ D]. Update the Oracle Database archiving, data files, sys and redo disk

Enter key (q to quit)[q]: D <--

Current Oracle Database archiving, data files, sys and redo disk is:
Please insert the new Oracle Database archiving, data files, sys and redo disk: /exlibris <---- (or /exlibris1, etc.)


This issue is still open and was escalated to Second line support for further analysis <2012-06-24 01:00:01>.
