| Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Installation On Fedora 8 (F8) - A brief guide to installing Oracle 11g Release 1 (11.1) on Fedora 8 (F8). |
Some changes said... INSTALLING ORACLE 11G ON FEDORA 8First of all, Idid it!!!! Ifollowed the instrucctions as on http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1InstallationOnFedora8.php by Tim.... but Idid some little changes in order to avoid java problems. One interesting thing is that I installed Oracle 11g on my Toshiba lap with 512 MB of main memory, but that is not a big problem. Also my swap space is 1 GB. Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Installation On Fedora 8 (F8) 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: * GNOME Desktop Environment * Editors * Graphical Internet * Development Libraries * Development Tools * Server Configuration Tools * Administration Tools * Base * Fonts * Legacy Fonts * Hardware Support * System Tools * X Window System 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 Software * Unpack Files * Hosts File * Set Kernel Parameters * Setup * Installation * Post Installation Download Software Download the following software: * Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Software Unpack Files Unzip the files: unzip linux_11gR1_database.zip You should now have a single directory called "database" containing installation files. Hosts File The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server: Set Kernel Parameters 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 The current values can be tested using the following command: /sbin/sysctl -a | grep 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 Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters: /sbin/sysctl -p 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 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 Disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows: SELINUX=disabled Alternatively, this alteration can be done using the GUI tool (System > Administration > Firewall and SELinux). Click on the SELinux tab and disable the feature. Setup 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. *** Software actual por bajar (Comment by Francisco) libaio-0.3.106 libaio-devel-0.3.106 sysstat-7.0.0 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 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.

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 **** AÑADIDO (comment by Francisco) mkdir /oraInventory chown -R oracle:oinstall /oraInventory/ chmod 775 /oraInventory/ Login as root and issue the following command: xhost + Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)) with the following: redhat release 5 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=$TMP; export TMPDIR # You can change for your host name as is in /etc/hosts (Comment by Francisco) ORACLE_HOSTNAME=f8.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME # Be carefull with defaults as ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID (Comment by Francisco) ORACLE_SID=orcl; export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH # I added /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin to PATH in order to avoid (Comment by Francisco) # the error java: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable: DISPLAY= Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory: cd database ./runInstaller 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.

OEM Database Control Comment by Francisco: One last thing, I started the database as usual sqlplus /nolog connect /as sysdba startup The database started!!!! But when I tryed to start lsnrctl I had the error: Insufficient privileges, so I changed user su password ...../bin/lsnrctl start And everything OK!!!! (Is it rational, Sirs of ORACLE?) End of Francisco's comment. Post Installation Edit the /etc/redhat-release file restoring the original release information: Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) 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 For more information see: * Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) for Linux * Automating Database Startup and Shutdown on Linux Hope this helps.

DYN_DaTa said... Thanks for this guide!! :). |
Robin said... the installer tries to run some shell scripts with the korn shell (/bin/ksh). Install ksh-20071105-2.fc8 rpm either from the DVD or via yum. (I'm not sure if it is on the DVD. I got mine via yum.) |
Obozh81 said... great article.I'm running my fedora on a x86_64 turion processor.Any changes to the steps? |
obozh81 said... HI,the only change I made was adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 on the variables section and it worked for x86_64,Cheers, |
henry ugbarugba said... can anyone help out with how to find the 'fully qualified machine name' and 'machine name'? am trying to install on an oracle vm box. thanks |
Tim... said... Hi.Open the command line and type "hostname". Cheers Tim... |
