Install Oracle 10 under slackware 10

Oracle does not support Slackware Linux, but you will find this document useful for your learning.

First, create a Linux User Group

Groupadd oinstall
Groupadd dba

Create an Oracle user

Useradd-g oinstall-G dba oracle
Passwd oracle

Set shared memory
Add the following lines to the/etc/sysctl. conf file:

Kernel. shmall = 2097152
Kernel. shmmax = 2147483648
Kernel. shmmni = 4096
Kernel. sem = 250 32000 100 128
Fs. file-max = 65536
Net. ipv4.ip _ local_port_range = 1024 65000

Create a directory required for Oracle Installation as a root user

Mkdir/u01/app/oracle
Mkdir/u01/app/oracle/product
Mkdir/u01/app/oracle/product/10.0.1.0.2
Chown-R oracle. oinstall/u01/app/oracle

Mkdir/home/oracle
Chown-R oracle. oinstall/home/oracle

Spoofing Oracle 10 Installer
Create the file/etc/redhat-release as the root user and add the following lines to the file:

Redhat-3

Download BinUtils of earlier versions

I downloaded it from the following URL to the binutils-2.10.1.tar.gz:
Http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/gnu/binutils? C = M; O = D

Follow these steps to install it on the system:

# Tar-xzvf binutils-2.10.1.tar.gz
# Cd binutils-2.10.1
#./Configure
# Make
# Make install # This step must be executed as root

Next, run the following command as root.

# Cd/usr/bin
# Mv ld. new
# Cp/usr/local/bin/ld ./

In this way, ld 2.10 is used to replace ld 2.11 temporarily.

Note: I still encountered some Link errors during Oracle Installation. when they happen, I just chose to continue ).

Set shell quota for oracle users

Add the following lines to the/etc/security/limits. conf file:

* Soft nproc 2047
* Hard nproc 163844
* Soft nofile 1024
* Hard nofile 65536

Each line follows the following format:

* Soft Nproc 2047

Set Oracle environment variables

Create a file. profile in the/home/oracle directory as an oracle user and add the following content:

# Oracle Environment

Export ORACLE_BASE =/u01/app/oracle
Export ORACLE_HOME =/u01/app/oracle/product/10.0.1.0.2
Export DISPLAY = localhost: 0.0
Export ORACLE_SID = test
Export ORACLE_TERM = xterm
# Export TNS_ADMIN = Set if sqlnet. ora, tnsnames. ora, etc. are not in $ ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Export NLS_LANG = AMERICAN;
Export ORA_NLS33 = $ ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# Set shell search paths

Export PATH = $ PATH: $ ORACLE_HOME/bin

# CLASSPATH:

CLASSPATH = $ ORACLE_HOME/JRE: $ ORACLE_HOME/jlib: $ ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
CLASSPATH = $ CLASSPATH: $ ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib

Export EDITOR = vi
Set-o vi
PS1 = '$ PWD: $ ORACLE_SID>'

If [$ USER = "oracle"]; then
If [$ SHELL = "/bin/ksh"]; then
Ulimit-p 16384
Ulimit-n 65536
Else
Ulimit-u 16384-n 65536
Fi
Fi

Then restart the system.

System check
After the system restarts, you should use these commands as the root user to check the memory parameters:
You can use the cat tool to check the signal parameters in the current sem file.

# Cat/proc/sys/kernel/sem

Run the following command to check the value of the shmmax parameter:

# Cat/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

After the restart, sysctl. conf sets this value to 2,147,483,648, but you can set this value to a maximum of 2.7 GB.
Run the following commands as an oracle user to ensure that the environment variables have been correctly set.

# Echo $ ORACLE_SID
# Echo # ORACLE_HOME

It is up to you to decide whether to use the Oracle patch 3006854 patch package.
I downloaded and run the For Red Hat version, but I am not sure whether it is useful For installation.
Install Oracle
You need to download the file from the http://otn.oracle.com before starting the installation
Ship.db.cpio.gz

Create an installation directory and decompress your Oracle Installation image.
I created the directory/u01/app/oracle/100102install and copied the image to it.

Run the following command:

Gunzip ship.db.cpio.gz

Run the following command to decompress the cpio image:

Cpio-idmv <ship. db. cpio

Run the oracle installer as an oracle user)
Go to the Disk1 directory and type./runInstaller to run the installer.
Questions to be answered during installation:

Inventory DirectoryInventory directory): Press enter to use the default value.

Privileged Operating System Groups authorized System user group): dba and dba

When I started ins_rdbms.mk, I encountered two or three Link errors. I chose to continue ).
I can configure and use everything well.
