/sbin/sysctl -p
- Edit /etc/sysctl.conf file.
- Unzip, Set oracle as Owner and Relocate database
cd </path/To/linux_11gR2*.zip>
unzip linux_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
unzip linux_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
chown -R oracle:oinstall database
mv database /tmp
- Add Paths to oracle's .bashrc
Login as Oracle
su oracle
Edit .bashrc filenano /home/oracle/.bashrc
Insert:# Oracle Settings TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR ORACLE_HOSTNAME=<HOSTNAME>; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=<DBSID>; export ORACLE_SID PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
Substitute HOSTNAME and DBSID with the Values you Will Use During Software Installation In this Example Respectively:- HOSTNAME = 127.0.0.1
- DBSID = SID
Load New .bashrc Settings
bash
source ~/.bashrc
- Patch rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk File
