Trying to install/uninstall rpms

Hi,

First command says , conflicts
Second command says , nothing.
Third command says, no rpms (oracleasm*) installed.

How to remove installed rpms completly ?

PHP Code:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)

Thanks in advance.

- RHEL 4 is EOL. Please move to newer platform.
- Why install something when you should update?

Hi,

I know RHEL 4.8 is old.
Please come to my exact error. why it was coming /how to resolve it ?

Hi....

Does downloading and installing the package here help? :)

EDIT: Looks like I didn't catch the full nature of the question, my apologies if this didn't work. :(

Regards...

to remove an rpm:

Code:

rpm -e <name_of_rpm>

# I believe.

I and some others around here may not support EOL Software especially when the person at the helm doesn't know basic rpm commands.

Just a Heads Up.

yes.
What was wrong exactly ?

PHP Code:

Thanks

as a guess, I'd focus on removing oracleasm-support-2.1.4-1
before installing oracleasm-support-2.1.7-1.el4.i386.rpm

I haven't done Oracle in 16 years, sorry.

As another guess, I'd say you have to remove the 2.1.4 rpm ("conflicts with...")
for any 2.1.7 rpm you intend to install.

Code:

rpm -qa | grep -i oracleasm | grep 2.1.4

will show you a list of 2.1.4 oracleasm packages.

Try

Code:

rpm -qa | grep -i oracelasm | grep 2.1.4

instead as it could be named Oracleasm or OracleASM

Installing Oracle ASMLib - Seen it? Read it?

Habitual

PHP Code:




# rpm -qa | grep oracelasm | grep 2.1.4 
** NO output **

That third command is just plain wrong. "rpm -e" takes a package name (possibly including the version numbers), not a file name. The conflict messages indicate that you have oracleasm-support-2.1.4-1.el4 installed and tried to install version 2.1.7-1.el4. You should be upgrading (-U), not installing (-i).

RHEL 4 is ancient and, unless you are paying extra for extended life cycle support, lacks 4 years of security updates. Even that extended support has only about one more year to run (ends March 31, 2017).

I read it

Then i need to install required rpms then only i can configure as per previous link

What you have shared http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/to...ll-082632.html

I googled and i tried ( but i cannot, so i ask experts)

You misspelled "oraclesasm".
