Operating System: windows xpVirtual machine: VMware 5.5.3Linux: RHEL 5 Note: Since RHEL 5 is not supported in Oracle official documentation

Environment:

Operating System: windows xp

Virtual machine: VMware 5.5.3

Linux: RHEL 5

Note: Since RHEL 5 is not supported in Oracle official documentation, the following configuration items are subject to Oracle requirements for RHEL 4.0.

I. Check hardware

1. View RAM and swap space and disk size

Command: # grep MemTotal/proc/meminfo

# Grep SwapTotal/proc/meminfo

# Df-h

# Df-k/tmp

Requirements:

The minimum RAM required is 256 MB, and the minimum swap space required is 512 MB. For systems with RAM less than or equal to 2 GB, the swap space should be twice the number of RAM; for systems with RAM greater than 2 GB, the swap space should be one to two times the number of RAM.
Oracle 10 GB software also requires 2.5 GB of available disk space, while the database requires an additional 1.2 GB of available disk space. The/tmp directory requires at least 400 MB of available space.

But the official 10 Gb requirement is: The minimum RAM is 1024 MB, and the SWAP is twice the RAM. RAM is 1025MB ~ 2048 MB, and 1.5 times of RAM. RAM is 2049MB ~ 8192 MB. SWAP and RAM are equal. RAM is greater than 8192 MB, and SWAP is 0.75 times of RAM. The/tmp directory must be at least 400 MB. 10 Gb ~ GB for installing Oracle 10 Gb Software ~ 3.5GB disk space. The Oracle database requires 1/2 GB disk space.

Ii. Verify Linux Installation

1. Check the kernel version

Command:

# Uname-r

Required version: 2.6.9-5.EL( required for official RHEL 4.0)

2. Check required software packages

Command:

# Rpm-q package-name

Required packages and their versions:

Binutils-2.15.92.0.2-13.EL4
Compat-db-4.1.25-9
Compat-libstdc ++-296-2.96-132.7.2
Control-center-2.8.0-12
Gcc-3.4.3-22.1.EL4
Gcc-c ++-3.4.3-22.1.EL44
Glibc-2.3.4-2.9
Glibc-common-2.3.4-2.9
Gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44.1
Libstdc ++-3.4.3-22.1
Libstdc +-devel-3.4.3-22.1
Make-3.80-5
Pdksh-5.2.14-30
Sysstat-5.0.5-1
Xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2
Setarch-1.6-1

* ****** If a software package is not installed, use the following method to install it by inserting the Linux installation CD *******

# Rpm-ivh package-name-major-version *

Example: # rpm-Uvh compat-db-4 *

Note: 1. The sysstat-5.0.5-1 and xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2 package are not found on the disc. Download related packages to other links for Installation

2. When the openmotif-* package is installed, the libXp. so.6 package is required. I am too lazy to install libXp-* directly by using rpm -*.
