Oracle Database 12cR1 Installation on RHEL 6
July 23, 2013 6 Comments
Oracle Installation of 12cR1 method’s are clearly indicated below. Each and every step is crucial to perform a error free setup. The following Installation is performed on a RHEL 6 64 Bit OS. The software Binaries vary from 32 and 64 Bit, be sure to download the correct software binaries.The files shown below are those for 64 Bit Linux OS on RHEL 6. Download only the first two files for installing Database Software.
linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip linuxamd64_12c_database_2of2.zip
Let’s get started with the Installation, there are two major parts of any Oracle Database Installation.
- Operating System Settings
- Oracle Database Installation
Let’s start with each one of them,
1. Operating System Settings
All settings indicated here are to be performed after RHEL 6 64 Bit OS Installations
- Ensure hostname and IP are set up properly, you will need to do the check same after Linux 64 Bit Installation.
[root@rhel1 ~]# more /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 rhel1 192.168.1.11 rhel2 [root@rhel1 ~]# ifconfig -a | grep 192 inet addr:192.168.1.12 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [root@rhel1 ~]# more /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=rhel1 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
- Disable Firewall Settings : Firewall Settings can cause network issues while communicating with Applications.
[root@rhel1 ~]# service iptables save [root@rhel1 ~]# service iptables stop [root@rhel1 ~]# chkconfig iptables off [root@rhel1 ~]# service network restart
Kernel Settings : Kernel Settings are of utmost importance to configure system wide configurable memory and allowable Port Ranges
fs.file-max = 6815744 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.shmall = 1073741824 kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104 net.core.rmem_default = 262144 net.core.rmem_max = 4194304 net.core.wmem_default = 262144 net.core.wmem_max = 1048576 fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
- Ensure the /etc/sysctl.conf settings are setup fine, the following command should not throw any error’s
[root@rhel1 ~]# sysctl -p fs.file-max = 6815744 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.shmall = 1073741824 kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104 net.core.rmem_default = 262144 net.core.rmem_max = 4194304 net.core.wmem_default = 262144 net.core.wmem_max = 1048576 fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
- Create Users,Groups & Folder Structures
[root@rhel1 ~]# groupadd -g 54321 oinstall [root@rhel1 ~]# groupadd -g 54322 dba [root@rhel1 ~]# groupadd -g 54323 oper [root@rhel1 ~]# useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle [root@rhel1 ~]# passwd oracle [root@rhel1 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 [root@rhel1 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/softwares [root@rhel1 ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 [root@rhel1 ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01
- Add the following Entries to /etc/security/limits.conf
more /etc/security/limits.conf oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536 oracle soft nproc 2047 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft stack 10240 oracle hard stack 32768
- Change Settings in /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf and /etc/selinux/config as shown below
/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf # Comment the following Line * soft nproc 1024 # Include the following Line * - nproc 16384 /etc/selinux/config SELINUX=permissive
- Transfer the Oracle Database Media files linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip and linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip to /u01/softwares
Mount the RHEL 6 64 bit CD or you can mount the ISO image
[root@rhel1 ~]# mkdir -p /media/rhel6iso [root@rhel1 ~]# mount -o loop /u01/softwares/rhel_6.2_x86_64_disc_1.iso /media/rhel6iso [root@rhel1 ~]# df -h The df -h output shows you that the ISO media for RHEL6 64bit ISO has been mounter
The df -h output shows you that the ISO media for RHEL6 64bit ISO has been mounted
- Transfer ( using sftp, ftp in bin mode,scp,filezilla, etc.. ) Oracle Database Media files p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip and p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip to /u01/softwares. Mount the RHEL 6 64 bit CD or you can mount the ISO image
[root@rhel1 ~]# mkdir -p /media/rhel6iso
[root@rhel1 ~]# mount -o loop /u01/softwares/rhel_6.2_x86_64_disc_1.iso /media/rhel6iso
[root@rhel1 ~]# df -h
----------The df -h output shows you that the ISO media for RHEL6 64bit ISO has been mounter

2. Oracle Database Installation
- Login as Oracle User and set the Environment Variables in /home/oracle/.bash_profile
-- Add the following Entries to .bash_profile # Oracle Settings export TMP=/tmp export TMPDIR=$TMP export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ol6-121.localdomain export ORACLE_UNQNAME=cdb12c export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_SID=cdb12c export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib -- Change Parameter Settings in Database Software area -- /u01/softwares/database/stage/cvu/cv/admin CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL4 to CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6 More information see metalink [ID 1304727.1]
- Create Database using dbca, use the GUI to set up all parameters for Database Creation, the Listener should be running at this time otherwise use netca to create the Listener.
oracle@rhel1 ]# cd /u01/softwares/database [oracle@rhel1 database]# ./runInstaller -- -- Complete the Installation and run the root scripts at the end -- [root@rhel1 ~]# /u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh [root@rhel1 ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/root.sh
- In case you are directlly working on the server Set “xhost +” as root user and start working from oracle user.
- In case you are working from a Ubuntu client, login to oracle as “ssh -X oracle@192.168.1.10“
- In case you are connecting to oracle user from a Windows PC to the Serve through putty, install Xmanager Software and export DISPLAY=<IP_of _your_PC>:0.0 and start XManager in the Start Tray
- Start Installation of Oracle with software only option ( You will need to run a couple of scripts as root user at the End of the Installation )
That brings to the End of Oracle Software Installation & Database Creation.
