  4. Double-Click or Right-Click on Archive and Extract into /tmp
    Linux Oracle 12c Database Extraction
    Or From Command Line:

    unzip -d /tmp linuxamd64_12c_database*.zip
  5. Set DB Directory Permissions

    chown -R oracle:oinstall /tmp/database
  6. Make Network Configuration.

    • Get hostname:

      hostname
    • Get IP:

      /sbin/ifconfig

      You will Find It Under the lo >> inet Section.

    • Check if Hostname is Already into the Enabled Hosts File.

      cat /etc/hosts

      If It’s Not Present then Insert it with:

      nano /etc/hosts

      Insert:

      Example: ‘127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain’

      Ctrl+Shift+v to Paste Content on nano
      Ctrl+x to Save and Exit
      from nano Editor :)

    • Grant Connection to X Server

      xhost +myIP

      Example: # xhost +127.0.0.1

  7. Make Symlinks to Binaries and Libraries

    Linking Binaries

    ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
    ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm
    ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename

    Linking Libraries

    ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib64
    cd /lib64
    ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 .
  8. Make Target Directories

    mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12/dbhome_1
    chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
    chmod -R 775 /u01
  9. Parameters Configuration SetUp

    • Edit /etc/sysctl.conf file.

      nano /etc/sysctl.conf

      Then hit Ctrl+x to Save and Exit from nano Editor
      Add or amend the following lines

      #### Oracle 11g Kernel Parameters ####
      fs.suid_dumpable = 1
      fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
      fs.file-max = 6815744
      kernel.shmall = 818227
      kernel.shmmax = 4189323264
      kernel.shmmni = 4096
      kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
      # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
      kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
      net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
      net.core.rmem_default=262144
      net.core.rmem_max=4194304
      net.core.wmem_default=262144
      net.core.wmem_max=1048576
      

      The Values of ‘shmall’ and ‘shmmax’ Need to be Customized following your System Memory Size.
      Here above is a Valid Setup for a 8Gb RAM Size!
      If you need to Change first Check your Phisical Memory Size with:

      cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal

      Then ‘shmall’ should be Set as:

      [RamKb] / 10

      And instead ‘shmmax’ as:

      [RamKb] * 1024 / 2

      For further Instructions See Oracle Documentation

      If Exists then Comment out these lines below that Gives an Error

      #net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0
      #net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0
      #net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0
      
    • Edit /etc/security/limits.conf file.

      nano /etc/security/limits.conf

      Add the following lines

      #### oracle User Settings 4 Oracle 11g ####
      oracle       soft  nproc  2047
      oracle       hard  nproc  16384
      oracle       soft  nofile 1024
      oracle       hard  nofile 65536
      oracle       soft  stack  10240
      
    • Load the New Kernel Parameters

      /sbin/sysctl -p
  10. Add Paths to oracle’s .bashrc

    Login as Oracle

    su oracle

    Edit .bashrc file

    nano ~/.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:/usr/lib64; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
    

    Replace [HOSTNAME] with IP and [DBSID] with SID Name

    In this Example Respectively:

    • HOSTNAME = 127.0.0.1

    • DBSID = SID

    Load New .bashrc Settings

    bash
  11. Run the Installation Script

    chmod -R +x /tmp/database
    /tmp/database/runInstaller
