This article describes the installation of Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) on Fedora 8 (F8). The article is based on a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux disabled and the following package groups installed:
An example of this type of Linux installation can be seen here. Alternative installations may require more packages to be loaded, in addition to the ones listed below.
Download the following software:
Unzip the files:
unzip linux_11gR1_database.zip登录后复制
You should now have a single directory called "database" containing installation files.
The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:
<ip-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name></machine-name></fully-qualified-machine-name></ip-address>登录后复制
Oracle recommend the following minimum parameter settings:
kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 # Smallest of -> (Half the size of the physical memory) or (4GB - 1 byte) kernel.shmmni = 4096 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 fs.file-max = 65536 # 512 * PROCESSES net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.core.rmem_default=4194304 net.core.rmem_max=4194304 net.core.wmem_default=262144 net.core.wmem_max=262144登录后复制
The current values can be tested using the following command:
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep <param-name></param-name>登录后复制
For Fedora 8, the following lines should be appended to the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 4096 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.core.rmem_default=4194304 net.core.rmem_max=4194304 net.core.wmem_default=262144 net.core.wmem_max=262144登录后复制
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:
/sbin/sysctl -p登录后复制
Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file:
oracle soft nproc 2047 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536登录后复制
Add the following line to the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not already exist:
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so session required pam_limits.so登录后复制
Disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows:
SELINUX=disabled登录后复制
Alternatively, this alteration can be done using the GUI tool (System > Administration > Firewall and SELinux). Click on the SELinux tab and disable the feature.
Install the following packages:
# From Fedora 8 DVD cd /media/cdrom/Packages rpm -Uvh binutils-2.* rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.* rpm -Uvh glibc-2.* rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.* rpm -Uvh libgcc-4.* rpm -Uvh libstdc++-4.* rpm -Uvh make-3.* rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-devel-0.* rpm -Uvh glibc-devel-2.* rpm -Uvh gcc-4.* rpm -Uvh gcc-c++-4.* rpm -Uvh libstdc++-devel-4.* rpm -Uvh unixODBC-2.* cd / eject # Not available on Fedora 8 DVD, but available from standard yum repository. yum install libaio libaio-devel yum install unixODBC-devel yum install sysstat yum install compat-libstdc++ # Required to mask Java conflict (thanks to Robert W. Benton for pointing this out) yum --enablerepo=development install libxcb.i386登录后复制
Create the new groups and users:
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper groupadd asmadmin useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle passwd oracle登录后复制
Note. We are not going to use th "asmadmin" group, since this installation will not use ASM.
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1 chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 chmod -R 775 /u01登录后复制
Login as root and issue the following command:
xhost +<machine-name></machine-name>登录后复制
Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)) with the following:
redhat release 5登录后复制
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the .bash_profile file:
# Oracle Settings TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR ORACLE_HOSTNAME=f8.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then ulimit -p 16384 ulimit -n 65536 else ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 fi fi # Required to mask Java conflict (thanks to Robert W. Benton for pointing this out) LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true; export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK登录后复制
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable:
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY</machine-name>登录后复制
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory:
./runInstaller登录后复制
During the installation enter the appropriate ORACLE_HOME and name then continue installation. Some of the prerequisite checks will not complete due to this not being a supported Linux distribution. Check each of these prerequisites to set them to "User Verified" then you can proceed. For a more detailed look at the installation process, click on the links below to see screen shots of each stage.
Edit the /etc/redhat-release file restoring the original release information:
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)登录后复制
Edit the /etc/oratab file setting the restart flag for each instance to 'Y':
DB11G:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1:Y登录后复制
