Oracle Applications (11.5.10.2) Installation on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.5
This article is intended as a brief guide to installing Oracle
Applications (11.5.10.2) on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.5. The article is based
on a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux
disabled and the following package groups installed:
- X Window System
- GNOME Desktop Environment
- Editors
- Graphical Internet
- Server Configuration Tools
- Development Tools
- Administration Tools
- System Tools
Alternative base installations may require additional packages to be loaded.
<h2>Download Software</h2>
Download two additional packages from Metalink Patch 4198954.
Make sure an appropriate Java JDK (1.3.1) is available on the system.
<h2>Unpack Files</h2>
First unzip the Oracle patch:
<source>unzip p4198954_21_LINUX.zip </source>
Next, create a staging area for the Oracle Applications software:
<blockquote>mkdir /Stage11i
cd /Stage11i
# Start Here
mkdir startCD
# APPL_TOP
mkdir oraApps
# RDBMS
mkdir oraDB
# Tools
mkdir oraiAS
# Databases
mkdir oraAppDB </blockquote>
Copy the contents of all the DVDs into the appropriate directories.
<h2>Hosts File</h2>
The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:
<blockquote><IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name> </blockquote>
<h2>Set Kernel Parameters</h2>
Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
<blockquote>kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 100
kernel.shmall = 2097152
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 100 256 100 100
fs.file-max = 327679
kernel.hostname = testapps01.localdomain #<--- full qualified hostname !!
kernel.domainname = localdomain #<--- correct domain name !! </blockquote>
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:
<blockquote>/sbin/sysctl -p </blockquote>
Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file:
<blockquote>oracle soft nofile 65536
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft nproc 16384
oracle hard nproc 16384 </blockquote>
<h2>Setup</h2>
The following additional packages are required. Depending on the
update/respin version of Enterprise Linux, the exact package versions
and locations may vary.
<blockquote>alsa-lib-devel-*
audiofile-devel-*
compat-db-*
compat-gcc-32-3*
compat-gcc-32-c++-3*
compat-libcwait-2*
compat-libgcc-296-2*
compat-libstdc++-296-2*
compat-oracle-rhel4-1*
esound-0*
esound-devel-0*
fontconfig-devel-2*
freetype-devel-2*
gcc-3*
gcc-c++-3*
glib-1*
glib-devel-1*
gnome-libs-1*
gnome-libs-devel-1*
gtk+-devel-1*
gtk2-devel-2*
imlib-1*
imlib-devel-1*
jdk-1*
libaio-0*
libaio-devel-0*
libjpeg-devel-*
libtiff-devel-*
libungif-devel-*
libungif-progs-*
make-3*
openmotif21*
ORBit-devel-*
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6*
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel-6*
xorg-x11-devel-* </blockquote>
Due to all the package inter-dependencies, it probably makes sense to
copy all these packages from the CDs to a single directory, then
install then using the following command. For convenience, I wrapped
all the necessary packages for an OEL 4.5 installation into a single
tar file (11i-rh4-rpms.tar), making subsequent installations much
simpler.
<blockquote>rpm -Uvh *.rpm </blockquote>
Install the packages associated with Patch 4198954:
<blockquote>cd 4198954
rpm -Uvh compat-oracle-rhel4-1*
rpm -Uvh compat-libcwait-2* </blockquote>
Create the new groups and users:
<blockquote>groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
groupadd apache
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
useradd -g oinstall -G apache apache
passwd apache </blockquote>
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
<blockquote>mkdir -p /u01
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 </blockquote>
Login as the oracle user and add the following line at the end of the .bash_profile file:
<blockquote># Oracle 9i
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL </blockquote>
<h2>Installation</h2>
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable:
<blockquote>DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY </blockquote>
Start the Rapid Install Wizard by issuing the following commands:
<blockquote>cd /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/
chmod u+x rapidwiz
./rapidwiz </blockquote>
Follow any instructions and rerun as requested. The Rapid Installation Wizard installation is shown below.
