Oracle 12c Installation on Linux

with ASM
This guide provides a detailed walkthrough for installing Oracle Database 12c
Release 2 on Oracle Linux 7.6, using Automatic Storage Management (ASM) for
storage management.

1. System Requirements

 Operating System: Oracle Linux 7.6


 Memory: Minimum 2GB RAM (Recommended: 4GB or more)
 Storage: Minimum 20GB free space

2. Software Downloads

 Oracle Database 12c Release 2 installation files (Linux x86_64)


 Oracle Grid Infrastructure software

 Prerequisites
 Configure Oracle ASM
 Install Grid Software
 Configure ASM Diskgroups
 Install Oracle Software
 DBCA Create Database on ASM

Prerequisites

Connect to OEL 7.6 server via putty or mobaxtrem and install


the below packages
yum -y install oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall
yum -y install oracleasm*
yum -y install kmod-oracleasm*

Add below OS groups


groupadd -g 54327 asmdba
groupadd -g 54328 asmoper

Add asmdba as secondary group to Oracle user


usermod -a -G asmdba oracle

Create Grid User


useradd -u 54331 -g oinstall -G dba,asmdba,asmoper,asmadmin,racdba grid
Change the password for Oracle and Grid user
passwd oracle
passwd grid

Create the Directories for Oracle Database installation


mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/db_home
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

Create the Directories for Oracle Grid installation


mkdir -p /u01/app/grid
mkdir -p /u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid_home
chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid
chmod -R 775 /u01

Configure Oracle ASM

Let us configure Oracle ASM


oracleasm configure -i
Default user to own the driver interface []: grid
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n): y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
Load / initiate Oracle ASM

oracleasm init
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: /dev/oracleasm
Loading module “oracleasm”: oracleasm
Configuring “Oracleasm” to use device physical block size
Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: /dev/oracleasm

Add 1GB ,5GB,5GB,5GB,5GB, 30GB HDD to virtual machine which we


will use to create 6 partitions for our ASM disks. Open Virtual machine
>> Settings >> Storage >> Controller: SATA >> Create new disk
Click Next >> Next >> Give size 30 GB >> Click on Create

Start virtual machine and login as root user to format the newly added
disk
lsblk
fdisk -1

In the above output the /dev/sdb is not yet formatted. Let's create partitions on sdb
fdisk /dev/sdb
n --> to create new partition
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
+1G
w --> to save partition table

fdisk /dev/sdc
n --> to create new partition
<enter>

<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
+5G
w --> to save partition table

fdisk /dev/sdd
n --> to create new partition <enter>
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
+5G
w --> to save partition table
fdisk /dev/sde
n --> to create new partition <enter>
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
+5G
w --> to save partition table

fdisk /dev/sdf
n --> to create new partition <enter>
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
+5G
w --> to save partition table

fdisk /dev/sdg
n --> to create new partition
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
+30G
w --> to save partition table

Create separate ASM Disk for each partition


oracleasm createdisk CRS1 /dev/sdb1
oracleasm createdisk DATA1 /dev/sdc1
oracleasm createdisk DATA2 /dev/sdd1
oracleasm createdisk DATA3 /dev/sde1
oracleasm createdisk DATA4 /dev/sdf1
oracleasm createdisk FRA1 /dev/sdg1

To check asm disks


oracleasm listdisks

ls -lrt /dev/oracleasm/disks
Install Grid Software

Edit Grid user Bash_Profile but take .bash_profile backup before


editing it
su – grid

cp .bash_profile .bash_profile.orig

vi .bash_profile

Paste below contents


if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
ORACLE_SID=+ASM; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/grid; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid_home; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java; export JAVA_HOME
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN

PATH=.:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}:$HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

umask 022
Save and close vi editor. Execute the bash profile and check the
environment variables
. .bash_profile

env|grep ORA
Copy the 12cR2 grid software under grid home and unzip it
cd $ORACLE_HOME
unzip linuxx64_12201_grid_home.zip

Start the gridSetup.sh which will install grid software


./gridSetup.sh

Follow below screens to perform the grid software installation


 Change Disk group name as CRS
 Select External
 Click on Change Discovery Path
 Give Disk Discovery Path as /dev/oracleasm/disks
 Click on OK

Select /dev/oracleasm/disks/CRS1 >> Next


Select Use Same Password for these Accounts >> Specify password >> confirm
password >> Next. Click on Yes

Click Next >> Next


Click Next >> Next >> Next
Click on fix and check again
Copy script and paste into the Root User

Click on OK >> Check Ignore All >> Click Yes


Click on Install and wait for installer to prompt root scripts

Click on Close
Configure ASM Diskgroups

The grid installer allows you to only create one


diskgroup (CRS). We need to start the asmca utility in
order to create DATA and FRA diskgroup which are
required for database installation. Click on Create
Create 3 diskgroups
Configured 3 Disk Groups: using asmca utility
CRS: Dedicated to storing grid files for managing high availability and
.failover operations
DATA: Designed for storing database data, configured with 2 failure
.groups to ensure redundancy and data protection
FRA (Fast Recovery Area): Created to streamline backup and recovery
processes, improving disaster recovery efficiency.
 Give Disk Group Name as DATA
 Select normal
 Select /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA1
 Select /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA2
 Select /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA3
 Select /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA4
 Make failuregroup FG1 /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA1
/dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA2
 Make failuregroup FG2 /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA3
/dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA4
 Click on OK
Click on Create
 Give Disk Group Name as FRA
 Select External(None)
 Select /dev/oracleasm/disks/FRA1
 Click on OK

Exit >> Yes


Install Oracle Software

PATH=${PATH}:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/oracm/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib:$ORACL
E_HOME/network/jlib
export CLASSPATH

TEMP=/tmp ;export TMP


TMPDIR=$tmp ; export TMPDIR

umask 022

Execute the Bash_Profile


. .bash_profile

Unzip the Oracle software


cd /u01
unzip linuxx64_12201_database.zip

Start the runinstaller


cd database

./runinstaller
Uncheck the i wish to receive security updates via my oracle support

Select install database software only >> Next >> Next >> Next >> Next >> Next
Click on Install
Run the Root scripts as root user

Close the installer.


DBCA Create Database on ASM

We can now go ahead and create database on ASM with DBCA. Start DBCA >>
Create a Database >> Advance Configuration

 Give Global Database name as prod


 Uncheck Create as container database
 Click on Next
Select Use following for the database storage attributes >> Browse
 Select DATA >> Click on OK
 Click on Next
Select specific fast recovery area >> Browse
 Select FRA >> Click on OK
 Change Fast Recovery Area Size >> Next
Click Next >> Next >> Next
Uncheck Register with Enterprise Manager(EM) database express

Select Use the same administrative password for all accounts >> Password >>
Confirm Password

Select Create the database >> Next >> Finish


Done! For confirmation purpose, connect to database as Oracle user and issue below
queries
SQL> select name, open_mode from v$database;
SQL> select name from v$datafile;

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

We have successfully create Oracle Database on ASM!

The process remains pretty much the same when compared to 12cR1 and also with the
11gR2 release.
