Root # rpm-I IBMJava2-SDK-1.3.1-2.0.i386.rpm
Set JAVA_HOME to/etc/profile
Root # vi/etc/profile
Export JAVA_HOME =/opt/IBMJava2-131
Export PATH = $ PATH:/opt/IBMJava2-131/bin

2 Oracle8.1.7 installation packages: http://www.oracle.com
LINUX installation package of linux81701.tar oracle8i
Glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz Patches

1. Install JDK
Rpm-I IBMJava2-SDK-1.3.1-2.0.i386.rpm

2. Create users and groups
Oracle8i service Username: oracle belongs to dba group
Root # groupadd dba
Root # useradd oracle-g dba
Modify the oracle user password:
Root # passwd oracle

3. Set the oracle user's environment variables and add the following settings:
Oracle % vi ~ Oracle/. bash_profile
######################################## #############
Export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL = 2.2.5
# ORACLE_HOME main directory
Export ORACLE_BASE =/home/oracle
Export ORACLE_HOME = $ ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7
# Default character set:
Export NLS_LANG = american
# Command line tool portal
Export PATH = $ PATH: $ ORACLE_HOME/bin
######################################## #############
To make these environment settings take effect immediately:
Source. bash_profile

2. ORACLE Installation Process
==============================
Unpackage linux81701.tar (about 530 M)
Tar xf linux81701.tar

Run Disk1/

It is best to open two windows throughout the installation process: one is runInstaller, and some auxiliary script programs are run in another terminal window.
Follow these steps to switch between the two windows:

ORACLE INSTALLER PATCH TERMINAL
Bytes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/PATH/TO/Disk1/runInstaller,
Follow the default installation steps.
We recommend that you only select: do not install OPS, do not install JServer, etc,
Single database and single instance, otherwise it will slow you down to doubt the crash ......
1 Oracle Server
2 Net8
3 Oracle Utilities
4 Orcale Configuration Assistants

2. When permission group settings appear,
Enter the preset dba group. When ORACLE installation prompts you to run the oracle user group permission setting script
Root # orainstRoot. sh

3. choose not to install the database for the database installation configuration.
(Or the Database Assistant is not installed at the end, so it must be used.
In glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
Setup_stub.sh install the patch and then install the database)

4. When the ORACLE Installation prompt "Run root. sh" is displayed
Root # root. sh
At this time, the root. sh of Oracle8.1.7.0.1 has a bug. It should be in line 156th and corrected as follows:
RUID = '/usr/bin/id | $ AWK-F ({print $2} | $ AWK-F) {print $1 }'
Write less single quotes "" --------- ^
5. ORACLE application installation is complete,
Configure NET8 according to the default settings.
So far: Basic installation of database applications and network services has been completed.
But the database is not initialized. First exit the Installer installation interface.

6 switch to oracle user Patching
Oracle % cp glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz % ORACLE_HOME/
Oracle % cd $ ORACLE_HOME
Glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz for oracle % tar zxf
Oracle %./setup_stubs.sh
7. After the patch is installed, start dbassist on X with the oracle user.
Follow the prompts to create a database.
Oracle % dbassist

Installation Complete
After the database is set, set the newly installed ORACLE_SID to. bash_profile. Assume that the default database instance ID is orcl.
Export ORACLE_SID = orcl

At this time, you can use the dbstart script to start
