This section applies only if you are using an Oracle database for your ZENworks Data Store.
ZENworks Servers require an Oracle instant client to communicate with the Oracle database. You can obtain the instant client directly from the Oracle Web site.
You should download the Oracle Database 10g Instant Client. On the Oracle web page under the Platform Downloads section, click the appropriate platform link. More information about downloading and installing the client is included in the following sections:
Click the Instant Client for Linux x86 link, then follow the prompts to download the appropriate files. For the Linux x86 32-bit platform, Oracle supplies both .zip and .rpm files; you must download the .rpm files.
Install the following RPMs on the Primary Server and any Secondary Servers:
oracle-instantclient-basic-version_number.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient-jdbc-version_number.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-version_number.i386.rpm
Click the Instant Client for Linux x86-64 link, then follow the prompts to download the appropriate files. For the Linux x86 64-bit platform, Oracle Database 10g R2 supplies both .zip and .rpm files; you must download the .rpm files.
Install the following RPMs on the Primary Server and any Secondary Servers:
oracle-instantclient-basic-version_number.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclient-jdbc-version_number.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-version_number.x86_64.rpm
If the Oracle JDBC Instant Client RPM package is not installed, you receive the following error message: “The Oracle jdbc driver is not installed. An RPM (oracle-instantclient-jdbc) that contains the Oracle jdbc driver can be downloaded from oracle.com. The install cannot continue.”
For Oracle Database 11g R1 Server, you must install the Oracle Database 10g R2 Instant Client RPMs on both the Primary Server and the Secondary Server.
