Oracle Database 11g R2 Installation on Oracle Linux 6.3 (64-bit)

Installation Prerequisites: Environment Setup
Download Link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

Files:
  • linux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
  • linux.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
After unpacking the two zip files, a directory called "database" should be created. This directory should contain the contents of the two files mentioned above.

Installation Process
Modify the "cvu_prereq.xml" file located in "database/stage/cvu" directory. Find "<operating_system release="OEL4">" and make the following changes:
  • In the "packages" tag, change i386 to i686.
  • Comment out "<PACKAGE NAME="pdksh" VALUE="5.2.14" SEVERITY="IGNORABLE"/>" and add "<PACKAGE NAME="ksh" VALUE="20060214" SEVERITY="IGNORABLE"/>".
  • Below is what your OEL section should look like:

Modify the “/etc/security/limits.conf” file to include the following information:
*       hard    nofile  65536
*       hard    nproc   16384
*       soft    nproc   2047

Modify the “/etc/sysctl.conf” file to include the following information:
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 6815744
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
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576

Execute the following command to load the kernel parameters:
sudo sysctl -p

Execute the following command to install the missing packages:
sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33 elfutils-libelf-devel gcc-c++ unixODBC unixODBC-devel libaio-devel compat-libstdc++-33.i686 libstdc++.i686 libaio-devel.i686 libaio.i686 unixODBC.i686 unixODBC-devel.i686 ksh

Execute "runInstaller" located in the "database" directory. Run command as the "oracle" user.
./runInstaller

The screenshots given below will walk you through the installation process only for "Desktop Class" system.

This is step 1 of 9. Uncheck "I wish to recieve security updates via My Oracle Support" and click next.
Step 1: Skip updates and click next.


This warns you that you will remain uninformed of critical security issues in your configuration. This should not affect installation if you bypass it.
Step 1.1: Click "yes".


Create and configure a database. This option will setup everything for you to get your database up.
Step 2: Select “Create and configure a database”.


Select desktop class. This option is recommended if you are installing on a laptop or desktop class system. This option includes a starter database and allows minimal configuration.
Step 3: Select Desktop Class.


Specify the location of your database installation. Make sure to select the enterprise edition. The character set must be unicode (AL32UTF8).
Step 4:
Oracle base: /home/oracle/db/app/oracle
Software location: /home/oracle/db/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
Database file location: /home/oracle/db/app/oracle/oradata
Database edition: Enterprise Edition (4.29GB)
Character Set: Unicode (AL32UTF8)
OSDBA Group: oracle
Global database name: orcl
Specify directory for installation files. The installer automatically sets up subdirectories for each product to contain inventory data.
Step 5: 
Inventory Directory: /home/oracle/db/app/oraInventory
oraInventory Group Name: oracle


This performs prerequisite checks on your environment to see if the necessary critera are met for the database installation.
Step 6


This is a summary of all the configurations you have made during installation.
Step 7: Save Response File and then continue.


The database installation might take a while.
Step 8


This configures your database. This must complete successfully in order for your database to be healthy.
Step 8.1


Select password management in order to set up your password for the database administrator user.
Step 8.2: Click Password Management


Set the password for sys and system users. If you do not provide passwords for these users, the password entered during installation will be used for these users.
Step 8.3: If no password are provided, password in step 4 is used.


Execute the scripts mentioned in this screenshot. This set the proper permissions for your database directories.
Step 8.4: Continue after running the scripts.
su root
sh /home/oracle/db/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
sh /home/oracle/db/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/root.sh

The summary provides the URL for the database user interface.
Step 9

Post Installation
Oracle Database Enterprise Manager URL
Edit the  “~/.bash_profile” file to include:
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/db/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID

To start/stop the Oracle Database:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>startup
SQL>shutdown

To start/stop the listener:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./lsnrctl start
./lsnrctl stop

To start/stop the Database enterprise manager console:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./emctl start dbconsole
./emctl stop dbconsole
