Requirements For Oracle Instance Creation: Migration Tools Database Configuration Assistant

Before creating an Oracle instance, ensure you have enough free disk space and administrator access. An Oracle instance requires a minimum of 50 MB disk space initially, growing to 80 MB after setup and 150 MB after domain initialization. The amount of RAM needed depends on configuration parameters like DB_BLOCK_SIZE, LOG_BUFFER, and SGA_TARGET, with a minimum of 100 MB recommended for SGA_TARGET. Make sure all user names, passwords, folders and files for the new instance differ from existing instances and use only ASCII characters.

When creating an instance, Oracle takes-up some disk space.

Therefore, you must have enough free disk


space on the hard disk where the Oracle database is located to be able to create the new instance. The
disk usage is as follows:
racle instance environment — 50 MB recommended
racle instance after running Oracle DB Setup — 80 MB recommended
racle instance after initializing a domain — 150 MB recommended

See your Oracle User Guide for additional information about limitations on creation of instances.

Requirements for Oracle Instance Creation


Before creating an Oracle instance, make sure that you have Administrator's access rights in both your
Oracle server database and the operating system installed on the server machine. If you still need to
create an instance from the account in which you do not have Administrator's rights, and if your
company's policy allows you to change the Oracle security, you can do the following: in the Sqlnet.ora file,
add the # symbol before the Sqlnet.Authentication_Services = (NTS) parameter to comment it out. The
default location of the Sqlnet.ora file will look similar to the following path:
\\<Oracle home folder>\Product\<Version*>\db_1\Network\Admin\ (* An example of the 6.0.4 folder
name is 10.2.0)
Before starting an Oracle database you need to ensure that the RAM that this database occupies does
not exceed the available RAM on your server. You can calculate the amount of RAM needed for the
database by using the following Oracle parameters:
HARED_POOL_SIZE (at least 10 MB)
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
LOG_BUFFER
SORT_AREA_SIZE

JAVA_POOL_SIZE and LARGE_POOL_SIZE are additional parameters that affect the RAM that the
Oracle database occupies. These parameters appear if you select certain options when running the
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant using a custom installation type.
For the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter, make sure that the value is at least 8192.
As an alternative to the above calculation, you can use the following target parameters to determine the
maximum amount of RAM:
sga_target (at least 100 MB is recommended)
pga_aggregate_target (at least 20 MB is recommended)

Create a New Oracle Instance


Make sure that all passwords, user names, folders, and files of the new instance are different
from those of any existing instance.
All user names and passwords must use ASCII / English characters. Oracle does not support
non-ASCII / English characters in user names or passwords and will not work. This limitation is an Oracle
limitation, not Intergraph's.
