Install oracle supplied packages: -------------------------------------------
[root@csd u01]# cd 4198954/ [root@csd 4198954]# rpm -Uvh compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm compat-libcwait-2.0-2.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] cat: /etc/ld.so.preload: No such file or directory 1:compat-libcwait ########################################### [ 50%] 2:compat-oracle-rhel4 ########################################### [100%] [root@deskpro 4198954]#
Create USER and GROUPS: --------------------------------
[root@csd ~]# groupadd dba [root@csd ~]# groupadd oinstall [root@csd ~]# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle [root@csd ~]# passwd oracle Changing password for user oracle. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@csd 4198954]#
Create Oracle Software Directory: -----------------------------------------
[root@csd ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0 [root@csd ~]# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01 [root@csd ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01
Set Kernel Parameters, File Handlers, and Limits: ------------------------------------------------------- Adding these parameters to /etc/sysctl.conf will take effect only after reboot. To make this effective immediately, issue the following command
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0 kernel.sysrq = 0 kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 kernel.shmmax = 1073741824 kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 fs.file-max = 65536
Shell Limits: -------------------- Login as root, and add below lines to /etc/security/limits.conf oracle soft nofile 63536 oracle hard nofile 63536 oracle soft nproc 16384 oracle hard nproc 16384 Add soft and hard limit to ~oracle/.bash_profile ulimit -n 63536 ulimit -u 16384 Create Swap Space: ------------------------- root@csd ~]# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 385956 kB [root@csd ~]# cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hda2 partition 1048468 160 -1
Here is the command to create temporary swap space. [root@csd ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpswap bs=1k count=900000 900000+0 records in 900000+0 records out [root@csd ~]# chmod 600 tmpswap [root@csd ~]# mkswap tmpswap Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 921595 kB [root@csd ~]# swapon tmpswap
Setup Oracle Environment Variables: ------------------------------------------- Add below lines to ~oracle/.bash_profile export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0 export ORACLE_SID=db9i1 export ORACLE_TERM=xterm export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin Unpack Oracle Software Archives:
[oracle@csd ~]$ gunzip ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio.gz ship_9204_linux_disk2.cpio.gz ship_9204_linux_disk3.cpio.gz
[oracle@csd ~]$ cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio [oracle@csd ~]$ cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk2.cpio [oracle@csd ~]$ cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk3.cpio [oracle@csd ~]$ chown -R oracle.dba Disk1/ Disk2/ Disk3/
Verify X-Windows: ----------------------- Execute the below command [oracle@csd ~]$ xclock If you don’t see a graphical clock on the console then, Issue the below command in terminal [oracle@csd ~]$ echo "DISPLAY=localhost:0.0;export DISPLAY" [oracle@csd ~]$ source .bash_profile [oracle@csd ~]$ xclock
