Quick Start Manual

20 Installing and Configuring

Run the following script to install the Dell PowerEdge system Component

drivers:

$> ./10-install-Dell-rpms.sh

NOTE: This script installs the supported Dell Dynamic Kernel Module Support

(dkms) drivers located in the /dell-oracle-deployment/rpms folder. The dkms

driver installation requires the presence of the kernel devel RPM in order to

build the modules. This script will attempt to automatically download and

install the kernel-devel package from the operating system channel. If the

kernel-devel package is not found on the operating system channel, then you

may have to manually install the kernel-devel package before you install the

Dell dkms drivers through this script.

If Dell PERC H200 Integrated storage card is used, the dkms driver for

mpt2sas has to be recompiled before booting in to the new kernel using

the following steps.

$> dkms build -m mpt2sas -v 02.00.00.00 -k 2.6.18-

128.7.1.el5

$> dkms install -m mpt2sas -v 02.00.00.00 -k

2.6.18-128.7.1.el5

Run the following script to install the Oracle asm RPMs after booting

to the updated kernel:

$> ./20-install-oracle-rpms.sh

NOTE: This script installs the Oracle asm RPMs. If the operating system on

your system is OEL, then this script downloads and installs the oracle asm

RPMs from the ULN channel. If the operating system on your system is RHEL,

then this script installs the oracle asm RPMs from the /dell-oracle-

deployment/rpms directory.

Run the following script to setup the ownership and permissions for

the Oracle Grid and Database installation directories.

$> ./oracle-crs-base-permissions.sh

NOTE: It is recommended to have one separate OS partition for Oracle Grid

and Database binary software. Please refer to Table 3-1 for recommended OS

partitions and their sizes. Make sure that Oracle Grid and Database binary are

installed under the same root directory. For example, /opt or /u01.

NOTE: Make sure you have permission to create directories for the below

specified paths since the script will attempt to create them, if they do not exist

already.
