10g Installation on Linux
INSTALLING ORACLE 10G DATABASE ON RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 4
Pre-requisites
Server/Desktop
RHEL 4 32 bit Operating System
i) Install RHEL 4 x86
ii) Assign IP address and hostname
→[root@erpdevdbs01 ~]# setup
iii) Add Ip to the hosts file
[root@erpdevdbs01 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.10.160.23 erpdevdbs01.test.local erpdevdbs01
Edit Kernel Parameters as root user
i) Edit sysctl.conf file … vi /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.msgmnb = 65535
kernel.msgmni = 2878
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142 #This sets SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM, SEMMNI
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 — HALF OF THE PHYSICAL MEMORY
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
Once set run sysctl –p to avoid restarting the machine.
ii) Edit limits.conf as below…vi /etc/security/limits.conf
* soft nofile 327679
* hard nofile 327679
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nproc 2047
iii) Check RPM’s
rpm -qa binutils-2.15.92.0.2-10.EL4
rpm -qa compat-db-4.1.25-9
rpm -qa compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2

rpm -qa xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2
rpm -qa openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.2 (required to install Oracle demos)
rpm -qa libaio-0.3.102-1
iv) Add User and Groups
[root@erpdevdbs01 ~]# groupadd dba
[root@erpdevdbs01~]# groupadd oinstall
[root@erpdevdbs01~]# useradd oradev -g oinstall -G dba
[root@erpdevdbs01 ~]#
Note : oradev will be the owner of Oracle Software.
v) Download and unzip the Disk1 on the machine
Place the software under any filesystem you wish to provided oradev user has the access to start
the installation.
[root@erpdevdbs01 database]# ls -ltr
total 1683960
drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4096 Jul 2 2005 database
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 668734007 Aug 30 13:50 10201_database_linux32.zip
vi) Switch user to oradev
[oradev@erpdevdbs01 database]$ ls
doc install response runInstaller stage welcome.html
[oradev@erpdevdbs01 database]$
./runInstaller
[root@erpdevdbs01 oraInventory]# ./orainstRoot.sh
Changing permissions of /oraDevBin/oracle/oraInventory to 770.
Changing groupname of /oraDevBin/oracle/oraInventory to oinstall.
The execution of the script is complete
[root@erpdevdbs01 oraInventory]#
[root@erpdevdbs01 10.2.0.3]# ./root.sh
Running Oracle10 root.sh script…
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oradev
ORACLE_HOME= /oraDevBin/oracle/db/tech_st/10.2.0.3
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin …
Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin …
Copying coraenv to /usr/local/bin …
Creating /etc/oratab file…
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
[root@erpdevdbs01 10.2.0.3]#
Post Install Steps
