Run as Root
The reason for this is that the rootpre.sh script prepares the environment
for
the installation - it does not just load the post-wait driver.
The Oracle Universal Installer requires the following on AIX systems
1. Async IO has to be configured.
2. Post/Wait Kernel extension should be installed.
3. Kernel Statistics extension should be installed
So even though the Post/Wait Kernel extension is already incorporated into
the
AIX 5L Kernel, Oracle still needs the rootpre.sh script to be run
NOTE: All Oracle database instances that are running must be shut down
before
running the rootpre.sh script.
Do not run the rootpre.sh script if there is newer version of an Oracle
database already installed on the system.

Subject: Question for DBAs who have installed Oracle 9i
I have installed Oracle 9i and have reached a GUI for Setup Privileges
that says 'A configuration script needs to be run as root before
installation can proceed. Please leave this window up, go run...'
Where is the script this message is referring to and do I run in at
system admin root or oracle?
see attached for exact GUI message if you are running micrsoft word...
