Install Oracle 11g R2 on a 64-bit Fedora 17 System

This article describes how to install the OracleDatabase 11g Release 2 64bit database on the 64ora17 64bit system. Assume that you have installed the 64ora17 64bit operating system and the swap partition is 2 GB, linux security is disabled and the following software groups are installed:

• Gnome Desktop Environment
• Editors
• Graphical Internet
• Development Libraries
• Development Tools
• Legacy Software Development
• Server Configuration Tools
• Administration Tools
• Base
• Fonts
• Legacy Fonts
• Hardware Support
• Input Methods
• Legacy Software Support
• System Tools
• X Windows System

To install the SDK, follow these steps:

• Download the compressed database software package
• Decompress the package
• Modify the Hosts file
• Set Kernel Parameters
• Configuration
• Install
• Complete installation
  

1. Download the compressed database software package:

· OracleDatabase 11g Release 2 (11.2) Software

Decompress the package:

Unziplinux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip

Unziplinux.x64_11gr2_database5of2.zip

The two packages will be decompressed to the same directory: database

2. Modify the Hosts file

Open the/etc/hosts file and add the server name as follows:

<IP-address>  <fully-qualified-machine-name>  <machine-name>

For example:

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

192.168.0.191   fedora17.localdomain  fedora17

 

3. Set kernel parameters:

The recommended minimum parameter settings for Oracle are as follows:

fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576

fs.file-max = 6815744

kernel.shmall = 2097152

kernel.shmmax = 536870912

kernel.shmmni = 4096

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

Run the following command to view the kernel parameters of the current system:

/sbin/sysctl -a | grep <param-name>

 

Open the "/etc/sysctl. conf" configuration file and add or modify existing kernel parameters, as shown below:

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

If you do not want to restart the system, run the following command to modify the kernel parameters of the current system:

/Sbin/sysctl-p

Add the following information to the "etc/security/limits. conf" file.

oracle              soft    nproc   2047

oracle              hard    nproc   16384

oracle              soft    nofile  1024

oracle              hard    nofile  65536

If the following settings do not exist in the "/etc/pam. d/login" file, add them.

session    required     pam_limits.so

To disable linux security, modify the "/etc/selinux/config" file as follows:

SELINUX = disabled.

If you need to restart the system to change Linux security after installation, we recommend that you modify it before installation.

4. Configuration

Install the following package:

#yum install binutils

#yum install compat-libstdc++-33

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686

#yum install elfutils-libelf

yum install elfutils-libelf-devel

#yum install gcc

#yum install gcc-c++

#yum install glibc

#yum install glibc.i686

#yum install glibc-common

#yum install glibc-devel

#yum install glibc-headers

yum install glibc-devel.i686

yum install ksh

yum install libaio

yum install libaio.i686

yum install libaio-devel

yum install libaio-devel.i686

#yum install libgcc

#yum install libgcc.i686

#yum install libstdc++

yum install libstdc++.i686

#yum install libstdc++-devel

#yum install make

#yum install numactl

yum install numactl-devel

yum install sysstat

yum install unixODBC

yum install unixODBC.i686

yum install unixODBC-devel

yum install unixODBC-devel.i686

 

Create new user groups and users for database installation.

groupadd oinstall

groupadd dba

groupadd oper

Groupadd asmadmin # This user will not use

useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle

passwd oracle

 

Create the installation directory as needed:

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

chmod -R 775 /u01

 

Log On with root and execute the following command:

Xhost + <machine-name>

Modify the system release information. Oracle only recognizes some commercial linux systems. Change the following to RedHat5, modify the "/etc/redhat-release" file, and replace "Fedora17 ..." And Other information:

redhat release 5

Log on with an oracle user and add the following to. bash_profile:

# Oracle Settings

TMP=/tmp; export TMP

TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=fedora17.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME

ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE

ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID

ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM

PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH

PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then

  if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then

    ulimit -p 16384

    ulimit -n 65536

  else

    ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
