Back to Topic List

Before starting this lesson, you should have:

1.
Installed an Oracle Database 10g certified version of Linux in a platform certified for this version of Linux. To the latest certification information, use Metalink and select certify & availability. can also use OTN.





Checking the hardware Requirements
Back to Topic List

The system on which your install Linux must meet the following requirements:


$ MB of physical random access memory (RAM)

1 GB of swap space (or twice the size of RAM)

Swap spaces between one and two times the size of RAM (on systems with 2 GB or more of RAM)

MB of disk spaces in The/tmp directory

2.1 GB of disk spaces for the Oracle software and Sample Schema Database

Configuring the Kernel and creating Oracle User
Back to Topic List

To configure the system, follow these steps (written for Bourne, Korn, and bash shells):

1.
Open a terminal window and log in as the root user.


2.
The following local UNIX groups and user must exist on the system:

Groups:oinstall and DBA
User:oracle

Optionally, the Oper group can be created.

Group:oper

We now create the three groups Oinstall, DBA, and Oper:

/usr/sbin/groupadd Oinstall/usr/sbin/groupadd Dba/usr/sbin/groupadd Oper




3.
Create the operating system user Oracle:

/USR/SBIN/USERADD-G oinstall-g Dba,oper Oracle




4.
Enter the following command to set the password of Oracle User:

/USR/BIN/PASSWD Oracle




5.
With a editor of your choosing, open/home/oracle/.bash_profile. If you are a using another shell, please add the entries to the appropriate file.

Umask 022path=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/x11r6/binld_library_path=/usr/lib:/usr/x11r6/lib ORACLE_BASE=/ U01/app/oracleoracle_home= $ORACLE _base/product/10.1.0/db_1oracle_sid=orclpath= $ORACLE _home/bin: $PATHexport PATH Ld_library_pathexport oracle_base Oracle_home Oracle_sid




6.
Create the directory for the software installation and assign ownership to Oracle:oinstall. In the example, your use/u01/app/oracle.

Mkdir-p/u01/app/oraclechown-r oracle:oinstall/u01/appchmod-r 775/u01/app




7.
Set Required Kernel Parameters:

Parameter Value---------------------------------------------kernel.semmsl 250kernel.semmns 3200kernel.semopm 100kernel.semmni 128kernel.shmall 2097152kernel.shmmax 2147483648kernel.shmmni 4096fs.file-max 65536net.ipv4.ip_ Local_port_range 1024 65000

Open the/etc/sysctl.conf file in any text editor and add lines similar to the following:

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

With specified values for this parameters in the/etc/sysctl.conf file, the values persist when you reboot the system.




8.
The kernel changes made previously take effect with each reboot.

Issue This command to set the kernel parameters:

/sbin/sysctl-p




9.
Log in as operating system user Oracle. You are must install the software from a X Windows system Workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other System with X server so Ftware installed.
