Oracle® Database Quick Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux x86-64 E24326-07 April 2015 This guide describes how to quickly install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) on Linux x86-64 systems.
■ ■ The database that you created and the default Oracle Net listener process run on the system. Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control run on the system and can be accessed by using a web browser.
■ Following are the steps for installing the software from an X Window System workstation or X terminal: 1. Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm). 2. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then enter the following command to enable the remote host to display X applications on the local X server: $ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name For example: $ xhost somehost.us.example.com 3.
3.1 Memory Requirements The following are the memory requirements for installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2): ■ Minimum: 1 GB of RAM Recommended: 2 GB of RAM or more To determine the RAM size, enter the following command: # grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo If the size of the RAM is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.
Note: ■ ■ Oracle recommends that you take multiple values for the available RAM and swap space before finalizing a value. This is because the available RAM and swap space keep changing depending on the user interactions with the computer. Contact your operating system vendor for swap space allocation guidance for your server. The vendor guidelines supersede the swap space requirements listed in this guide.
■ Set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle user’s environment. See Also: "Configuring the oracle User’s Environment" for more information about setting TMP and TMPDIR ■ ■ Extend the file system that contains the /tmp directory. If necessary, contact the system administrator for information about extending file systems.

Note: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Oracle recommends that you install your Linux operating system with the default software packages (RPMs), unless you specifically intend to perform a minimal installation, and follow the directions for performing such an installation to ensure that you have all required packages for Oracle software. Oracle recommends that you do not customize RPMs during a default operating system installation.

■ Linux-PAM Library ■ Oracle Messaging Gateway ■ Programming Languages ■ Browser Requirements 4.5.1 Oracle ODBC Drivers You should install ODBC Driver Manager for UNIX. You can download and install the Driver Manager from the following URL: http://www.unixodbc.org To use ODBC, you must also install the following additional ODBC RPMs, depending on your operating sytem: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ On Oracle Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: - unixODBC-2.2.11 (32-bit) or later - unixODBC-devel-2.2.
4.5.2 Oracle JDBC/OCI Drivers Use JDK 6 (Java SE Development Kit 1.6.0_21) or JDK 5 (1.5.0_24) with the JNDI extension with the Oracle Java Database Connectivity and Oracle Call Interface drivers. However, these are not mandatory for the database installation. Note that IBM JDK 1.5 is installed with this release. 4.5.3 Linux-PAM Library Install the latest Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) library to enable the system administrator to choose how applications authenticate users. 4.5.

4. To determine whether the oracle user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command: # id oracle If the oracle user exists, then this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs. The output should be similar to the following, indicating that oinstall is the primary group and dba is a secondary group: uid=440(oracle) gid=200(oinstall) groups=201(dba),202(oper) 5.
Parameter Minimum Value File shmmax Minimum: 536870912 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax Maximum: A value that is 1 byte less than the physical memory Recommended: More than half the physical memory See My Oracle Support Note 567506.1 for additional information about configuring shmmax.
Parameter Command file-max # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep file-max ip_local_port_ range # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep ip_local_port_range rmem_default # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_default rmem_max # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_max wmem_default # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_default wmem_max # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_max ■ If the value of any kernel parameter is different from the recommended value, then complete the following steps: 1. Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/sysctl.
# /sbin/chkconfig boot.sysctl on 5. On SUSE systems only, you must enter the GID of the oinstall group as the value for the parameter /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group. Doing this grants members of oinstall a group permission to create shared memory segments. For example, where the oinstall group GID is 501: # echo 501 > /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group After running this command, use vi to add the following text to /etc/sysctl.conf, and enable the boot.sysctl script to run on system restart: vm.
4. Check the soft limit for the stack setting. Ensure that the result is in the recommended range. For example: $ ulimit -Ss 10240 $ ulimit -Hs 32768 5. Repeat this procedure for each Oracle software installation owner. If necessary, update the resource limits in the /etc/security/limits.conf configuration file for the installation owner. However, note that the configuration file is distribution specific. Contact your system administrator for distribution specific configuration file information.
3. Note the name of the mount point directory for each file system that you identified. 4.
7. If you are not installing the software on the local computer, then run the following command on the remote computer to set the DISPLAY variable: ■ Bourne, Bash or Korn shell: $ export DISPLAY=local_host:0.0 ■ C shell: % setenv DISPLAY local_host:0.0 In this example, local_host is the host name or IP address of the local computer to use to display Oracle Universal Installer.
* C shell: % setenv TMP /mount_point/tmp % setenv TMPDIR /mount_point/tmp 9.
In these examples, /mnt/dvd and /media/dvd are the mount point directories for the disc drive. 2. Insert the DVD into the disc drive. 3. To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter a command similar to the following: ■ Asianux, Oracle Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux: # ls /mnt/dvd ■ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server: # ls /media/dvd 4.
