Install Oracle
preinstall package
The
oracle preinstall package used to be call‘”Oracle Validate” in 10g. This
package would also update the kernel parameter as Oracle suggest. Before it
modify the parameter, it would backup the old one to the
/etc/sysctl.conf.orabackup.
yum
install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
or
Make manual changes to /etc/sysctl.conf
or
Make manual changes to /etc/sysctl.conf
Refer
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/manpreins.htm#BABCHAED>for
the Oracle Requirement and fix kernel parameters. oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstallwould take care of the changes, just
double check and adjust it if necessary.
Create Required Group
and User
The
oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
would create oracle
user, add oinstall and dba group. Also make the oracle user as part of member
of the group.
/usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
/usr/sbin/groupadd dba
/usr/sbin/groupadd dba
/usr/sbin/useradd -c "Oracle Software Owner" -g oinstall -G dba -d /home/oracle oracle
We
also need to reset the oracle user password.
passwd oracleCreate Software installation folders
- /u01/app/oracle –> for $ORACLE_BASE for Oracle Database instance
- /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0 –> for $ORACLE_HOME
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chmod 775 /u01/app
Configure User environment
As oracle user:
Update ~oracle/.bash_profile
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=HOST01.shilpa.com; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0 export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=oracledb1; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_UNQNAME=oracledb1; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
Creating the
oraInst.loc File
As root user:
Create
the /etc/oraInst.loc as below and change the permission and ownership
inventory_loc=/u01/app/oraInventoryinst_group=oinstall
chown oracle:oinstall oraInst.loc
chmod 664 oraInst.loc
Prepare the response
file: Oracle Software Only
The sample response file can be found under Oracle installation media“database/response ”- dbca.rsp : Silent install for the Oracle database ( for DBCA)
- db_install.rsp: silent install for the Oracle Software.
- netca.rsp: Silent install for Oracle Net Configuration Assistant
Even many of the parameters are empty, but if we don’t include in the rsp file, we would get the error like:

If faced the below error:

$ sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libnnz11.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
Its due to the SELINUX settings, which should have been initially disabled; But, never mind it can be fixed with the following command:
Commands, as root:

getenforce (returns "Enforcing")
setenforce 0
getenforce (returns "Permissive")
Further, check logging into sql prompt by the following command:

Create the Listener
Create the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora with below information:
LISTENER_oracledb1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOST01.shilpa.com)(PORT = 7001))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC7001))
)
)
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_oracledb1 = /u01/app/oracle
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOST01.shilpa.com)(PORT = 7001))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC7001))
)
)
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_oracledb1 = /u01/app/oracle
Then
start the listener via
lsnrctl start LISTENER_ORACLEDB1
Alternatively,
we can use netca to create the listener.
