unzip p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip

Hosts File :

The “/etc/hosts” file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.

Example :

[root@orakldba ~]# hostname
orakldba.localdomain
[root@orakldba ~]#
[root@orakldba ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.159.0.103 orakldba.localdomain orakldba

Oracle Installation Prerequisites :

Perform either the Automatic Setup or the Manual Setup to complete the basic prerequisites. The Additional Setup is required for all installations.

Automatic Setup:

commands must run on root user.

yum search preinstall

yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall -y

It is probably worth doing a full update as well, but this is not strictly speaking necessary.

yum update -y

Manual Setup:

If you have not used the “oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall” package to perform all prerequisites, you will need to manually perform the following setup tasks.

Added the following lines to the “/etc/sysctl.conf“ file.

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=262144
net.core.rmem_max=4194304
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=1048586

Then run this following commands on root user :

/sbin/sysctl -p

Add the following lines to this file “/etc/security/limits.conf”.

oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 4096
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft stack 10240

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

session required pam_limits.so

The following packages are listed as required, including the 32-bit version of some of the packages. Many of the packages should be installed already.

Set the password for the “oracle” user.

passwd oracle

Additional Setup:

The following steps must be performed, whether you did the manual or automatic setup.

Set secure Linux to disabled by editing the “/etc/selinux/config” file.

run this following commands on root user :

systemctl stop firewalld

systemctl disable firewalld

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

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01

Unless you are working from the console, or using SSH tunnelling, login as root and issue the following command.

xhost + <machine-name>

Add the following lines at the end of the “/home/oracle/.bash_profile” file.

# Oracle Settings
export TMP=/tmp;
export TMPDIR=$TMP;
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=orakldba.localdomain;
export ORACLE_UNQNAME=ORCL;

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib;
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib;

After settings done on .bash_profile run :

[oracle@orakldba ~]$
[oracle@orakldba ~]$ . ./.bash_profile
[oracle@orakldba ~]$
