lesio said... What about RAC ? Thank You for this tutorial :) it's great as always |
Tim... said... Hi.It's only just been released. Give me chance. :) I'm going to start looking at RAC, but remember, until some official notes come out it is risky to do anything important on OL6. Cheers Tim... |
Arun said... Doesn't Oracle have an oracle-validated rpm for OEL6? It saves lot of time in installing the pre-requisite packages one at a time. |
Tim... said... Hi.It normally runs a little behind. Not sure if the updated version is out yet. Cheers Tim... |
Peter said... Anyone try this on ESXi 4.1?I got an "root device not found" after Step #19 :{ |
James said... Tim:Great tutorial, very detail and clear. Thanks! However I encounter following missing packages errors when installing 11.2.0.2 on Oracle Linux 6 64 bit: Package: libaio-0.3.105 FAILED Package: compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 FAILED Package: libaio-devel-0.3.105 FAILED Package: libgcc-3.4.6 FAILED Package: libstdc++-3.4.6 FAILED Package: unixODBC-2.2.11 FAILED ... |
Tim... said... Hi.Then you didn't do the install I suggested with the package groups I picked and the additional packages added. If you had you would not see these failures. Cheers Tim... |
alok said... Tim,i'm getting the following error ./runInstaller: line 254: /home/oracle/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file i did a uname -r 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64 I downloaded MOS from Oracle Support. I unzipped the file in MAC OS and then copied it to my home directory guest OEL 6 on VirtualBox. Any help will be appreciated.. |
Tim... said... Hi.Note. OL6 is not yet certified. Don't do any real DB installations using it yet. I don't get this issue. Looks like somewhere between the unzip and copy you got your permissions shot. Either unzip directly on the Linux box you change the permissions on the media. Cheers Tim... |
alok said... Tim,You were correct, i unzipped the file on Linux Box, and the error went away, then another error xhost protocol not defined. I still haven't found the fix yet but I will figure out. In the mean time i just ssh from another computer got the installation going. So far its looking good!! Thank you for the post!! |
Chet said... Tim,I only did a basic installation of the OL6 per your tutorial - http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/OracleLinux6Installation.php Not sure if that has all the required packages for installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2. If I did not install all the required packages for 11g R2 during original install, can I install them later? If so how? |
Tim... said... Hi.The article tells you how to install the necessary packages. Cheers Tim... |
Ritesh said... Hi Tim,Is 11.2.0.2 certified on Redhat 6 as of now? Thanks |
Tim... said... Hi.Still not certified. You can check yourself on support.oracle.com, then click the "Certification" tab. Cheers Tim... |
Arif Imam said... Thanks Tim!I installed 11.2.0.3 on OEL 6.1. All your rpm listed for 11.2.0.2 were just fine, however I found that compat-libcap* was missing in the list. |
Tim... said... Hi.Interesting. I didn't notice that from my installation, so I'm wondering if there was a package group you didn't select. I've added it to the list anyway, just in case. Cheers Tim... |
Marouan said... thanks a lot Tim , i'm a newbie in DBA world and i was trying to make this installation successful for 4 days now , yeah i'm a noob :D but finnaly i get it to work .i just want to add one thing for those who struggle with INSTALLING THE PACKAGES : use YUM wich is a powerful tool , it install packages AND their dependencies . take a look at http://public-yum.oracle.com/ for setup |
Marouan said... one more thing Tim , if you can comment some commands that you see important with a little of explanation , it would be great .. thanks again |
mahesh said... hii got RHEL 5 Enterprise Server at time of installation of oracle 11gr2 the following error is firing up /runInstaller: line 254: /home/oracle/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file... Any help will be appreciated.. |
Tim... said... Hi.Why would you follow an OL/RHEL6 guide when there is a OL/RHEL5 guide? http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux5.php Cheers Tim... |
Apprentice said... If you are installing on RHEL/OEL6 x86_64, you can save yourself a lot of time up front by installing packages that Tim noted for both X86_64 and i686. Installer will then be happy. Great install guide. |
SJ said... Hiyou wrote: 11.2.0.2: The installer should only show a single "missing package" failure for the "pdksh" package. It can be ignored because we installed the "ksh" package in its place. 11.2.0.3: The installer shows no failures and continues normally. 11.2.0.3 still asking for the "pdksh" !!! |
Tim... said... Hi.What can I say. I did not get that issue. Provided you have installed the ksh package, it is not an issue anyway and can be ignored. Cheers Tim... |
Adrie T said... I tried to install grid infrastructure ver 12.0.1 using this guide on OL 6.2 x86_64 and also in OL 6.2 i686 and both instalation fail.The instalation fail when it tried to start ohasd. I haven't tried this with ver 12.0.3. Since Oracle has been certified 11gR2 on OL 6 I just courious which version Oracle has certified ? I don't find any information about that. Did somebody have any information ? |
Tim... said... Hi.Oracle 12.x? You mean 12c Beta? I've not used it so I can't comment. Oracle has only certified 11.2.0.3 on OL6/RHEL6. Cheers Tim... |
Samim said... who is the user for Unzip the oracle .rmp files as root or oracleI am new in oracle and linux can u please anyone help me thanks |
Tim... said... Hi.RPMs are OS packages, so they always installed by root. The Oracle database software is typically unzipped by the "oracle" user. Cheers Tim... |
Kyle Hailey said... Few error codes from silent install1) error code 35: machine name wasn't in /etc/hosts 2) error code 37: DNS not working 3) successful but no database created and sqlplus gives "sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.11.1" , gcc missing during install, do "yum install gcc" also would be nice to include a silent response file but at 400 char limit here, don't have space |
Kyle Hailey said... PS iptables was turned out by default, which anndconnecting to instance from other machines gave TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error TNS-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable Turn it off: # service iptables stop # chkconfig iptables off # iptables -F # service iptables save see: http://www.dba-village.com/village/dvp_forum.OpenThread?ThreadIdA=46883 Kyle Hailey http://dboptimizer.com |
Tim... said... Hi.I've emailed you direct. Looks like your missed out some of the prerequisites. The articles says to have SELinux and the firewall disabled. The articles links to an example of the OS install that includes those instructions. :) Cheers Tim... |
