Hi
Tried out 10 g release installation on RHEL4 , my
machine was a test machine with average configuration
512 Mb ram . I had installed Oracle to test it with
SNMP monitoring using Nagios & Zabbix
I wanted to share my experience and from
where I got help
The site http://www.puschitz.com helped me a lot ,
I can say by referring this site , helped me to such
extend that there was no need for checking metalink
I prepared a small note for what I had done
Download 10201_database_linux32.zip
1> cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.org (
U can change it back after the installation is over
2>edit /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3
(Taroon)
3> I added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
#fs.file-max = 327679
kernel.shmmax=1073741824
kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max =65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=1024 65000
# For Adjusting the network setting for Oracle 10g
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144
4 > Check for the rpm packages
rpm -q binutils \
compat-db \
control-center \
gcc \
gcc-c++ \
glibc \
glibc-common \
gnome-libs \
libstdc++\
libstdc++-devel \
make \
pdksh \
sysstat \
xscreensaver
make sure all the above packages are there
4 > create user oracle
su - root
groupadd dba # group of users to be granted
SYSDBA system privilege
groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
useradd -c "Oracle For Nagios Test " -g oinstall -G
dba oracle
passwd oracle
5>Create the directory for ORACLE_BASE
su - root
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown oracle.oinstall /u01/app/oracle
6>Set Oracle Enviornment
su - oracle
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
please make sure ORACLE_HOME variable is
not set , here u need only ORACLE_BASE
can also modify ~oracle/.bash_profile
and enter
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
if u want this variable as permanent setting
7>I copied the downloaded 10201_database_linux32.zip
to oracle home directory , unzip it , u get a
directory database
8> From /home/oracle/database , run runInstaller
Followed the steps , had select the default
options , during verifying of Product-Specifice Checks
, some warning will come , which u can ignore
in Database configuration option ,
select the options u needed
Oracle 10g installation was very smooth ,
Oracle 9i installation on RHEL4 was having lots of
problem, before installation itself , had to apply
patches .This may be because Oracle 9i is not
certified with RHEL4
Now going for monitoring Oracle using Nagios
using SNMP
Will be happy to help others who want to
install Oracle 10 g on "LINUX"
Thanks
Joseph
