Goal
This document will explain the RDBMS installation symptoms that might be observed when SLES OS RPMs that are expected to be present from the initial OS installation are in-fact absent.
After defining a "default RPMs" installation of the SLES OS, the document begins with several example RDBMS installation symptoms that have been observed, each of which indicate that a "default installation" of SLES is missing. This document then continues with a strategy to verify the exact RPM groupings and the individual RPMs that were selected at OS install time. Finally, the document concludes with example RPM command outputs for a "default RPMs" installation.
Although the details that are used to explain the concept of a "default-RPMs" installation of SLES in this document are from a 64-bit SLES 9 SP2 installation, the principles of this note apply to all certified Linux distributions. The equivalent NOTE for the RHEL OS is <NOTE 376183.1>, "Defining a "default RPMs" installation of the RHEL OS". The equivalent NOTE for the Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) is <NOTE 401167.1>, "Defining a "default RPMs" installation of the OEL OS".
