This document provides technical information about installing Oracle database.
1.2.
Intended Audience
This manual is intended for
1.3.
IT / Support department Technical staffs that perform installation on Oracle Database.
Scope of this guide
This document consists of 2 parts:
-
The first part is to list down all the preparation to install Oracle database. The second part is to describe the steps to create and patch Oracle database.
-3-
2.Database Installation 2.1. Preparation
Use Solaris version 8 or more advanced version in order to install database oracle 10g. Copy patches into /opt/installer/oracle or any directory which you select for placing the oracle 10g installers. Copy all required files from Oracle10g DVDs to install oracle 10g into installer directory. Makes sure the server is using static IP address. Login as root and then create oracles user by following below commands: groupadd oinstall groupadd dba useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g oinstall -G dba -m -s /bin/bash oracle passwd -r files oracle
Enter a new password for the user oracle. In this case, type: password as the oracles password. Go to the directory /export/home/oracle and then type command: vi .profile
Add some content. The content much more like the below picture, however refer to the Production Setup and Deployment Documentation for detail.
To check the result login as oracle user by typing
su - oracle
-4-
env
Set the installation directory structure and refer to the Production Setup and Configuration Documentation for the location, it can be done by following below commands: mkdir /opt/oracle. This is for setting up the ORACLE_BASE. mkdir /opt/oracle/10g. It will become ORACLE_HOME. chown R oracle:oinstall /opt/oracle. The command will make the installation tree to be possessed by oracle user. chmod R 775 /opt/oracle. By applying this command, Oracle Installer can write what it needs into the directory.
At this instant, the next step is setting up the kernel parameters by doing below operations. To create the resource project that will be used by user oracle, type projadd oracle
Navigate to directory /etc and type edit user_attr. It will be viewed as below figure first. cd /etc vi user_attr It will be viewed as this figure below # Copyright (c) 2003 by Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. # /etc/user_attr # user attributes. see user_attr(4) #pragma ident "@(#)user_attr 1.1 03/07/09 SMI" adm::::profiles=Log Management lp::::profiles=Printer Management root::::auths=solaris.*,solaris.grant;profiles=Web Console Management,All;lock_after_retries=no
-5-
You need to add a new line to the end of this file that reads: oracle::::project=oracle That means the user oracle will be assigned to the new resource project called oracle whenever he logs on.
Open antoher login session using user oracle perform command:
prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
The shared memory segments must be upgraded into the specified size of project.max-shm-memory in the Production Setup and Deployment. So, open a new terminal session and login as root user. After that, perform following command (for example the value of project.max-shm-memory is 14GB): prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 14gb -r -i project oracle
Using user oracle perform this command to check the value of project.max-shmmemory: prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
Also, you have to make the value of shared memory becomes permanent by performing this command as root user: projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,14gb,deny)" oracle
After that there will be some additional code in /etc/system, and it can be done by logging in as root and type: vi /etc/system
Append this lines of code in the end of the files:
Before you can do the installation phase, you have to patch the installation files first. Navigate to patch location. In this case, /opt/installer/oracle/patch.
Unzip the patch file p4589082_10201_SOLARIS64.zip by typing a command
bash
-6-
unzip p4589082_10201_SOLARIS64.zip
Navigate to directory 4589082 by typing a command:
cd 4589082
You have to export the SHIPHOME variable with Oracle installer location, by typing a command: export SHIPHOME=/opt/installer/oracle
From directory 4589082 execute the p4589082.sh file by typing a command:
./p4589082.sh
2.3. Installing Oracle Database
Login as oracle user and directory /opt/installer/oracle/disk1/database
navigate
bash cd /opt/installer/oracle/disk1/database
Execute the installer by the following commands:
./runInstaller Commonly, there will be an error like this:
-7-
to
the
specific
This might happened because IP address is not correctly configured while
setting up the environment display parameter. See below figure in detail.
Therefore, edit localhost to your ip address in .profile file or using this command for temporary solution: bash export DISPLAY=your-pc-ip-address:0.0
The Select Installation Method screen is showed up, in this screen you can choose either basic installation or advanced installation. In this case, I fill oracle Home Location with address /opt/oracle/10g and database password is password, please refer to Production Setup and Deployment Documentation of the project for the correct location.
-8-
In Specify Inventory Directory and Credential Screen leave everything as default
Then, Click next button.
Commonly, there will be an error message after clicking the next button. The error message will be appeared if set the noexec_stack = 1 is not configured in /etc/system file. See the below figure for detail.
If there is no more error, Oracle installer will show a message that all requirements has been checked with status: passed.
-9-
By clicking next button, the next step is to select configuration for the installation. There will be three options; Create a database, Configure Automatic Storage Management and Install Database Software only. Choose the last option and then click next button
Below, you will see a processing phase after clicking next button, notice a progress bar in right-top of the screen
-10-
Afterward, there will be the summary screen of components that will be
installed. Install button will be activated and click it to install Oracle database.
Below, there will be a figure when oracle has successfully installed setup files
-11-
After finishing the installation, a pop up screen will appear and tell that some scripts must be executed using root user.
Execute the required script using root in another console. Navigate to a
directory /opt/oracle/oraInventory and execute the .sh file using command: bash cd /opt/oracle/oraInventory ./orainstRoot.sh cd /opt/oracle/10g ./root.sh
-12-
Enter full path of ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/10g
Finally, the installation of oracle software has been accomplished and the end of installation screen will be appeared. Click exit button for ending it.
2.4. Patching Oracle Database
Patching is usally a post installation to-do, but this guide also useful when there is a big upgrade for exmaple from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.5. In this case the patch process is from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2. Login as oracle user and then navigate to patch file location /opt/installer/oracle/patch/patch10202/disk1. bash cd /opt/installer/oracle/patch/patch10202/disk1 ./runInstaller
-13-
The welcome screen will appear, simply click next button.
Now, the menu for specifying Home Details appear. Fill the Path with Oracle Home Location just as below figure
-14-
Click next button and the installer will give the summary screen.
Click Install button to start installing the patch set.
-15-
The installer ask to run a script for completing the patch installation. Open new console, login as user root and then run the script.
cd /opt/oracle/10g ./root.sh
-16-
Input the full path of Oracle Home and press enter, if there are warnings about over writing files just press Y
Go back to the oracle installer and then click OK button, the end of installation screen will be shown. Click Exit button for completing the patch installation phase.
