Preparing Nodes for Oracle
Installation
Attaching to RHN/ULN Repository
NOTE: The documentation provided below discusses how to set up a local yum
repository using your operating system installation media. If you would like to
connect to the Red Hat Network (RHN)/Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) channels,
see the appropriate documentation. For Red Hat, see redhat.com/red_hat_network.
For information relating to ULN network, see linux.oracle.com.
The recommended configuration is to serve the files over http using an
Apache server (package name: httpd).
This section discusses hosting the repository files from a local filesystem
storage. While other options to host repository files exist, they are outside of
the scope of this document. It is highly recommended to use local filesystem
storage for speed and simplicity of maintenance.

Mount the DVD image by either using the physical media or by using the
ISO image.
• Using the physical media: Insert the DVD into the server and it should
auto-mount into the
/media directory.
• Using the ISO image: Run the following command as root,
substituting the path name of your ISO image for the field
myISO.iso :
mkdir /media/myISO
mount -o loop myISO.iso /media/myISO
