Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) Installation On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5)

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRHEL5.php



In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5). The article is based on a server installation similar to this, with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux disabled and the following package groups installed:

  • GNOME Desktop Environment

  • Editors

  • Graphical Internet

  • Text-based Internet

  • Development Libraries

  • Development Tools

  • Legacy Software Development

  • Server Configuration Tools

  • Administration Tools

  • Base

  • Legacy Software Support

  • System Tools

  • X Window System

Alternative installations may require more packages to be loaded, in addition to the ones listed below.

Download Software

Download the following software:

Unpack Files

Unzip the files:

unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip

You should now have a single directory containing installation files. Depending on the age of the download this may either be named "db/Disk1" or "database".

Hosts File

The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:

    

Set Kernel Parameters

Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

#kernel.shmall = 2097152 #kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 4096 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 #fs.file-max = 65536 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.core.rmem_default=262144 net.core.rmem_max=262144 net.core.wmem_default=262144 net.core.wmem_max=262144

Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:

/sbin/sysctl -p

Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file:

*               soft    nproc   2047 *               hard    nproc   16384 *               soft    nofile  1024 *               hard    nofile  65536

Add the following line to the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not already exist:

session    required     /lib/security/pam_limits.so

Disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows:

SELINUX=disabled

Alternatively, this alteration can be done using the GUI tool (System > Administration > Security Level and Firewall). Click on the SELinux tab and disable the feature.

Setup

Install the following packages:

# From RedHat AS5 Disk 1 cd /media/cdrom/Server rpm -Uvh setarch-2* rpm -Uvh make-3* rpm -Uvh glibc-2* rpm -Uvh libaio-0* cd / eject  # From RedHat AS5 Disk 2 cd /media/cdrom/Server rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33-3* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-34-3* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-34-c++-3* rpm -Uvh gcc-4* rpm -Uvh libXp-1* cd / eject  # From RedHat AS5 Disk 3 cd /media/cdrom/Server rpm -Uvh openmotif-2* rpm -Uvh compat-db-4* cd / eject

Create the new groups and users:

groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper  useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle passwd oracle

Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01

Login as root and issue the following command:

xhost +

Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)) with the following:

redhat-4

Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the .bash_profile file:

# Oracle Settings TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR  ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=TSH1; export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM 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=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH  if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then   if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then     ulimit -p 16384     ulimit -n 65536   else     ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536   fi fi

Installation

Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable:

DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY

Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory:

./runInstaller

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.
