1- on the linux system (root user)
In order to avoid pre-requisite check problem, you must install the following packages;
rpm -Uvh binutils-2.*
rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33*
rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.*
rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-devel-*
rpm -Uvh gcc-4.*
rpm -Uvh gcc-c++-4.*
rpm -Uvh glibc-2.*
rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.*
rpm -Uvh glibc-devel-2.*
rpm -Uvh glibc-headers-2.*
rpm -Uvh ksh-2*
rpm -Uvh libaio-0.*
rpm -Uvh libaio-devel-0.*
rpm -Uvh libgcc-4.*
rpm -Uvh libstdc++-4.*
rpm -Uvh libstdc++-devel-4.*
rpm -Uvh make-3.*
rpm -Uvh sysstat-7.*
rpm -Uvh unixODBC-2.*
rpm -Uvh unixODBC-devel-2.*
Most of these package will be on media 2,3 and 5
2- Add the following lines to the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file
a- vi /etc/sysctl.conf
# Controls the maximum number of shared memory segments, in pages
kernel.shmall = 4294967296
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
#kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 1054504960
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=4194304
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=1048586
b- update your sysctl.conf
# /sbin/sysctl -p
3- 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
# End of file
4- Add the following lines to the "/etc/pam.d/login" file
session required pam_limits.so
5- Disable secure linux by editing the "/etc/selinux/config", normal this parameter is setting to Enable
SELINUX=disabled
6- Create groups and user
groupadd -g 502 oinstall
groupadd -g 503 dba
useradd -u 504 -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
7- Add the following lines to oracle user profile
# vi /home/oracle/.bash_profile
umask 022
# User specific environment and startup programs
export ORACLE_BASE=/mnt/orc5/app/oracle/product/db
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0/dbhome
export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE
export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib
export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
export TEMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=/tmp
8- check /etc/hosts
The hosts file must have the following lines
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX full qualified domain name hostname
example
192.168.4.0 hamdy.blogspot.com hamdy
9- Start installation
In order to run teh GUI interface, you'll need an Xserver running on the Linux server ex. vncserver (I use vncserver)
a- on the linux server login as Oracle user
#/usr/bin/vncserever, vnc session will be started
b- on you local machine
You'll need vncviewer and Xserver
c- login as Oracle user on the vncviewer( hummingbird )
export DISPLAY to you local machine example
DISPLAY=
d- start the Xserver on you local-machine
f- check if you Display variable is okay,
# xclock, if everthing is okay, just go further to the following step
10- Move to the Oracle software location &unzip the files
11- runInstaller
12- #./runInstaller
