/etc/profile.d/ to create the appropriate ulimits for the oracle user.
cd /etc/profile.d
cat >> oracle.sh <<EOF
#Setting the appropriate ulimits for oracle user
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
umask 022
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -u 16384

else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536

Check Disk free:
----------------
- Space requirement for Oracle 11g Release 2 Software:
Enterprise Edition 3.95G - 4.5GB
Standard Edition 3.88G - 4.3GB
- Space requirement for Oracle Database Files: 1.7GB – 2.0GB -- > Creating a
database is always optional with oracle installation. Can be done later.
df –h
df -h /u01
Create OS Account and Groups:
-----------------------------
The Oracle Database software owner is the user 'ORACLE'.
groupadd -g 501 dba
cat /etc/group | grep dba
useradd -u 601 -g dba -G dba -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash -c "Oracle RDBMS Software Owner" oracle
passwd oracle
oracle123
id oracle
cat /etc/passwd | grep oracle
Create Directories:
-------------------
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
ls -l /u01
ls -l /u01/app
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
ls -l /u01/app/oracle
ls -l /u01/app/oracle/product
ls -l /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0
chown -R oracle:dba /u01/app/oracle
