-------------- step 1 ---------------Download Software
Download the following software.
Download the Oracle software from OTN or MOS depending on your support status.
OTN: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1) Software (64-bit)
MOS: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3) Software (64-bit)
-------------- step 2 ---------------Unzip the files.
# 11.2.0.1
unzip linux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
unzip linux.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
#11.2.0.2
unzip p10098816_112020_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip
unzip p10098816_112020_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip
#11.2.0.3
unzip p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip
unzip p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip
You should now have a single directory called "database" containing installation
files.
-------------- step 3 ---------------Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
For example.
127.0.0.1
localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.181 ol5-11gr2.localdomain ol5-11gr2
$uname n -- > to check machine name
$dnsdomainname -- > to check the localdomain
-------------- step 4 ---------------Manual Setup
If you have not used the "oracle-validated" package to perform all prerequisites
, you will need to manually perform the following setup tasks.
Oracle recommend the following minimum parameter settings.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586
The current values can be tested using the following command.
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep <param-name>
Add or amend the following lines in the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default=4194304
net.core.rmem_max=4194304
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=1048586
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.
/sbin/sysctl -p or sysctl -p
-------------- step 5 ---------------Add the following lines to
oracle
soft
oracle
hard
oracle
soft
oracle
hard
oracle
soft
the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
nproc 2047
nproc 16384
nofile 4096
nofile 65536
stack 10240
-------------- step 6 ---------------Install the following packages if they are not already present.
binutils-2.*
compat-libstdc++-33*
compat-libstdc++-33*.i386.rpm
elfutils-libelf*
gcc-4.*
gcc-c++-4.*
glibc-2.*
glibc-common-2.*
glibc-devel-2.*
glibc-headers-2.*
ksh*
libaio-0.*
libaio-devel-0.*
libgomp-4.*
libgcc-4.*
libstdc++-4.*
libstdc++-devel-4.*
make-3.*
sysstat-7.*
unixODBC-2.*
unixODBC-devel-2.*
numactl-devel-*
to download
rpm -ivh packagename.rpm
-------------- step 7 ----------------
Create the new groups and users.
$groupadd oinstall
$groupadd dba
$groupadd oper
$groupadd asmadmin
Add oracle user and assign oinstall as primary group and others as secondary
$useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle
$passwd oracle
-------------- step 8 ---------------AdditionalSetup
The following setup tasks must be performed regardless of which setup method you
used previously.
Disable secure linux by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure the
SELINUX flag is set as follows.
SELINUX=disabled
-------------- step 9 ---------------Alternatively, this alteration can be done using the GUI tool (Applications > Sy
stem Settings > Security Level). Click on the SELinux tab and disable the featur
e. If SELinux is disabled after installation, the server will need a reboot for
the change to take effect.
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall oracle/
chmod -R 775 oracle/
Note:
/oracle = ORACLE_BASE
/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 = ORACLE_HOME
-------------- step 10 ---------------Login as root and issue the following command.
xhost +<machine-name>
$uname n -- > to check the machine name
-------------- step 11 ---------------Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the ".bash_pr
ofile" file, remembering to adjust them for your specific installation.
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ol5-112.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=test_db; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
run
. . /.bash_profile to restart bash
-------------- step 12 ---------------Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY envi
ronmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in t
he database directory.
./runInstaller
-------------- step 13 ---------------execute the script given in the end of installation
as root :
sh root.sh
-------------- step 14 ---------------create database using DBCA
cd /oracle/product/11.2.1/db_1
cd bin
./dbca
-------------- step 15 ---------------post installation
edit etc/oratab file setting the restart flag for each instance to Y.
e.g
DBG11G:/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1:Y -- to make your db up when system boot
