New page

== Oracle 11g SLES Install ==

Note: Oracle 11g R1 is not officially supported on SLES 11. Either use SLES 10 or perform the hack described later on.

=== Introduction ===

This article describes the installation of Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES). The steps are based off a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux disabled, and the following packages installed along with default packages:

*Oracle Server Base
*C/C++ Compiler and Tools

=== Download Software ===

Download the following software from [http://www.oracle.com/ www.oracle.com]:

Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Software

=== Hardware Requirements ===

The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

Requirement Minimum Value
System RAM: 1024 MB
Swap space Approx.: twice the size of RAM
Disk space in /tmp: 1024 MB
Disk space for software files: 4 GB
Disk space for database files: 1.7 GB

=== Hosts File ===

Edit the /etc/hosts file to contain a fully qualified name for the server:

<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>

=== Oracle Install prerequisites ===

1. The account for oracle user is disabled. Please enable it by editing the file /etc/passwd

Change the shell for the "oracle" user from "/bin/false" to "/bin/bash"

2. Set a new password for user “oracle” i.e.

# /usr/bin/passwd oracle

and specify new password

NOTE: You can use SUSE setup tool YaST to accomplish above tasks.

3. Default Oracle environment set by orarun

Make sure the Oracle home directory ORACLE_HOME variable is set to:
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11gR1/db in /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh file

4. Modify following parameters to meet Oracle 11g kernel requirements

Modify the following lines of the /etc/sysconfig/oracle file:

#IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE="1024 65000" (comment old entry)
IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE="9000 65000"

#WMEM_MAX=262144 (comment old entry)
WMEM_MAX=1048586

#FILE_MAX_KERNEL=131072 (comment old entry)
FILE_MAX_KERNEL=6815744

#AIO_MAX_SIZE=262144 (comment old entry)
AIO_MAX_SIZE=1048576

Modify the following lines of the /etc/init.d/oracle file:

# test -f /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-size && echo " AIO_MAX_SIZE=${AIO_MAX_SIZE:-262144}" (commented old entry)
# test -f /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-size && echo ${AIO_MAX_SIZE:-262144} > /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-size (commented old entry)
# test -f /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-size || echo (commented old entry)

test -f /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr && echo " AIO_MAX_SIZE=${AIO_MAX_SIZE:-1048576}"
test -f /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr && echo ${AIO_MAX_SIZE:-1048576} > /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr
test -f /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr || echo

5. Set the kernel parameters

# /usr/sbin/rcoracle start

=== Oracle Installation ===

login as oracle user

Run Oracle Universal installer :

# ./runInstaller

Click on OK for the Permissions error message

Make the Inventory Directory as /opt/oracle/oraInventory instead of /opt/oraInventory as shown in screenshot

NOTE: You can ignore the OUI-18001: The operating system 'Linux Version SuSE-11' is not supported.

NOTE: You can select the check boxes for failed prerequisite checks and continue

Once the Database Configuration Assistance completes the db creation

login as root and run the below scripts

/opt/oracle/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
/opt/oracle/product/11gR1/db/root.sh

=== Post Installation ===

Edit the /etc/sysconfig/oracle file to set the parameter as:
START_ORACLE_DB="yes"

Edit the /etc/oratab file entry corresponding to your database to 'Y':
orcl:/opt/oracle/product/11gR1/db:Y

If you want to start dbconsole services at boot-time, then set Listener (START_ORACLE_DB_LISTENER) and Enterprise Manager parameter (START_ORACLE_DB_EMANAGER) in /etc/sysconfig/oracle to yes.

Check the database using Enterprise Manager web interface https://[IP-address]:1158/em
User Name: sys
Password: ******
Connect as: sysdba

== Notes ==

START_ORACLE_DB="yes"

OUI-10035 You do not have permission to write to the inventory location.
OR
OUI-10033: The inventory locaiton /opt/oraInventory set by the previous installation session is no longer accessible. Do you still want to continue by creating a new inventory? Not that you may lose the products installed in the earlier session.

Checking operating system requirements...
Expected result: One of enterprise-4,enterprise-5,redhat-4,redhat-5,SuSE-10,asianux-2,asianux-3
Actual Result: SuSE-11

You can modify /etc/SuSE-release file.

<pre>
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 0
</pre>
to
<pre>
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 0
</pre>

With SUSE 11 and Oracle 11g R1 you would change:
<pre>
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 0
</pre>
to
<pre>
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 0
</pre>
