Download Software
Download Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK 1.3.1).
Download the Oracle installation files from Oracle Technology Network.
Unpack Files
First unzip the files.
gunzip ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio.gz gunzip ship_9204_linux_disk2.cpio.gz gunzip ship_9204_linux_disk3.cpio.gz
Next unpack the contents of the files.
cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk2.cpio cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk3.cpio
You should now have three directories (Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3) containing installation files.
Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Set Kernel Parameters
Add the following lines to the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 128 kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 fs.file-max = 65536 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:
/sbin/sysctl -p
Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
oracle soft nofile 65536 oracle hard nofile 65536 oracle soft nproc 16384 oracle hard nproc 16384
Setup
Install the Java development kit.
# Run the bin file. Agree to the terms and conditions. ./j2sdk-1_3_1_17-linux-i586.rpm.bin # Install the RPM file. rpm -ivh jdk-1.3.1_17.i586.rpm
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper groupadd apache useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle passwd oracle useradd -g oinstall -G apache apache passwd apache
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0 chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the ".bash_profile" file.
# Oracle 9i ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_17/bin; export PATH ORACLE_OWNER=oracle; export ORACLE_OWNER ORACLE_SID=TSH1; export ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH ORACLE_OEM_JAVARUNTIME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_17; export ORACLE_OEM_JAVARUNTIME TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the Disk1 directory.
