Install ORACLE12CR1 on the Oracle Linux 6.5 in VirtualBox

My Oralce Linux 6.5 is running on VirtualBox. Basic settings is 4G memory, 50G hard-disk, auto partition when install OL6.5.

* * Following series of operations need root privilege.

1. Edit/etc/host

ADD your hostname. For example, your host name Ol65.localdomain then

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain ol65 ol65.localdomain  :: 1 localhost localhost.localdomain ol65 ol65.localdomain

When you install the Oracle linux6.5 there is one step ask domain name. You should add it into/etc/hosts before you start installing. If There is no this domain name there would be a error, installation can ' t continue.

Prvf-00002:could not retrieve local nodename

cause: Unable to determine local host name using Java network functions.

Action: Ensure that hostname is defined correctly using the ' hostname ' command.

2. Add or amend the following lines to the/etc/sysctl.conf

Fs.file-max = 6815744kernel.sem = 32000 128kernel.shmmni = 4096kernel.shmall = 1073741824kernel.shmmax = 439804651 1104net.core.rmem_default = 262144net.core.rmem_max = 4194304net.core.wmem_default = 262144net.core.wmem_max = 1048576FS.AIO-MAX-NR = 1048576net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500

3. Run The following command to change the current kernel parameters

/sbin/sysctl-p

4. Add the following lines to the/etc/security/limits.conf

Oracle   Soft   nofile   1024oracle   hard   nofile   65536oracle   soft   nproc    2047oracle   hard   nproc    16384oracle   soft   stack    10240oracle   hard   stack    32768

5. Check and install following packages

6. Create New Group and user **i Install Oracle for learning so I simplified this, only created one new user who'll be is in charge of all Oracle re lated operations. This is not a suitable to product environment.

7. Amend the/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf

# change this*          soft    nproc    1024# to this*-Nproc 16384

8. Change the setting of SELinux to permissive by editing The/etc/selinux/config

Selinux=permissive

9. Set firewall to enable Oracle DB portsOpen 1521 and 5500, up to you.10. Create a new file and change its owner

Touch/etc/oratabchown-r Oracle:oracle/etc/oratab

One . Create Install directory

Mkdir-p/u01chown-r oracle:oracle/u01

* * Login as OracleUnzip installer and run Installerunzip Linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip and LINUXAMD64_12102_DATABASE_2OF2.ZIPGO into database folder Run./runinstaller

Install.

Set Auto Startuplogin as Root

1) Edit/etc/oratab, change N to Y as below

Orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1:y

2) Create file /etc/init.d/dbora and add following content

#!/bin/sh# chkconfig:345 from 10# Description:service to start and stop Oracle Database and listener## processname:oracle# config:/etc/oratab# pidfile:/var/run/oracle.pid# Source function Library. /etc/init.d/functionsretval=0ora_owner= "Oracle" Ora_home= "/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1" # See how we Were called.prog= "Oracle" Start () {echo-n $ "starting $prog:" su-$ORA _owner-c "$ORA _home/bin/dbstart $ORA _home" retval=$? echo[$RETVAL-eq 0] && touch/var/lock/subsys/dborareturn $RETVAL}stop () {echo-n $ "stopping $prog:" su-$ORA _o Wner-c "$ORA _home/bin/dbshut $ORA _home" retval=$?echo[$RETVAL-eq 0] && rm-r/var/lock/subsys/dborareturn $RETV Al}restart () {stopstart}case "$" instart) start; stop) stop;; restart) restart;; *) echo $ "Usage: $ Start|stop|restart}" Exit 1esacexit $? 

Ora-owner and ora_home should math your own condition.

Next you need to run the following commands to change permissions and make the service active.

Chgrp oracle/etc/init.d/dbora chmod 755/etc/init.d/dbora chkconfig--level 345 Dbora on

3) Reboot Server

Reboot

congratulation!
