Installation guide

To determine whether the required kernel is installed, enter the following command:
# uname -r
The following is a sample output displayed by running this command on a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.0 system:
2.6.9-34.0.1.0.11.ELsmp
In this example, the output shows the kernel version ( 2.6.9 ) and errata level
(
34.0.1.0.11) on the system.
If the kernel version does not meet the requirement specified earlier in this section,
then contact the operating system vendor for information about obtaining and
installing kernel updates.
4.3 Package Requirements
The following are the list of packages required for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
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. A default installation
includes most required packages, and helps you to limit manual
checks of package dependencies.
■ You must install the packages (or later versions) listed in the
following table. Also, ensure that the list of RPMs and all the
prerequisites for these RPMs are installed.
■ If you did not perform a default Linux installation, you intend to
use LDAP, and you want to use the scripts
odisrvreg , oidca , or
schemasync , then install the Korn shell RPM for your Linux
distribution.
■ If you are using Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, then all
required kernel packages are installed as part of the Oracle
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel installation.
■ For Orace Linux 6 the Oracle Validated RPM has been replaced by
the Oracle RDBMS Server 11gR2 Pre-install RPM. See the
"Completing a Minimal Linux Installation" section in Oracle
Database Installation Guide for Linux.
