OS: solaris 11_2-text-x86. I want to install an Oracle Client but can only see the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (SPARC) but my Solaris OS isn´t sparc. Jul 4, 2015 - Oracle 11g R2 Database Release 2 only support Windows, Linux, and Solaris. So if you want to using Oracle 11g R2 on a Mac OS you will.

In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2) on Solaris 10 (x86). The article is based on a default server installation as shown here. Alternative installations may require a different setup procedure.
Download Software
Download the following software.
Unpack Files
Unzip the files.
You should now have a single directory called 'database' containing installation files.
Hosts File
The '/etc/hosts' file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
Set Kernel Parameters
In previous versions of Solaris, kernel parameters were amended by adding entries to the '/etc/system' file, followed by a system reboot.
The Oracle installer recognizes kernel parameters set using this method, but it is now deprecated in favour of resource control projects, explained below.
As the root user, issue the following command.
Append the following line to the '/etc/user_attr' file.
If you've performed a default installation, it is likely that the only kernel parameter you need to alter is 'max-shm-memory'. To check the current value issue the following command.
To reset this value, make sure at least one session is logged in as the oracle user, then from the root user issue the following commands.
The first dynamically resets the value, while the second makes changes to the '/etc/project' file so the value is persistent between reboots.
The Oracle installer seems incapable of recognising kernel parameter set using resource control projects, but if you ignore the warnings the installation completes successfully.
Setup
Add the 'SUNWi1cs' and 'SUNWi15cs' packages using the 'pkgadd' command.
Create the new groups and users.
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
If you have not partitioned your disks to allow a '/u01' mount point, you may want to install the software in the '/export/home/oracle' directory as follows.
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the .profile file, making sure you have set the correct ORACLE_BASE value.
Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory.
During the installation enter the appropriate ORACLE_HOME and name then continue installation. For a more detailed look at the installation process, click on the links below to see screen shots of each stage.
Post Installation
Edit the '/var/opt/oracle/oratab' file setting the restart flag for each instance to 'Y'.
