Check which packages is installed and which are missing

Rpm-q--qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release} (%{arch}) \ n ' binutils elfutils-libelf elfutils-libelf-devel gcc gcc-c++ glibc Glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers ksh libaio libaio-devel libgcc libstdc++ libstdc++-devel make Sysstat UnixODBC Unix Odbc-devel

in my case it returns following

you need to install the missing from DVD. Just mount it and install missing packages using RPM-UVH command from directory <mount dvd>/packages.

Note–i ' m using x86_64 version of packages

Create directory Structure

Mkdir-p/ora01/appchown Oracle:oinstall/ora01/appchmod 775/ora01/app

Create oracle_base directory for ORACLE

Mkdir-p/ora01/app/oraclechown Oracle:oinstall/ora01/app/oraclechmod 775/ora01/app/oracle

Create Oracle_home directory for ORACLE

Mkdir-p/ora01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1chown Oracle:oinstall-r/ora01/app/oracle

Disable secure Linux by editing the '/etc/selinux/config ' file, making sure the SELinux flag is set as follows. It requires REBOOT to be effective!!!

Selinux=permissive

In Oracle Enterprise Linux 7/tmp data are stored on TMPFS which consumes memory and is too small. To revert it back to storage just run following command and REBOOT machine to be effective.

Systemctl Mask Tmp.mount
