You will need to rebuild repodata to get this to work:

Disable RHN:

sed -i 's/enabled = 1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
#vi /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
# enabled = 0

Install dependencies:

Hosts

cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.original
echo -e "127.0.0.1\t\tlocalhost.localdomain localhost" > /etc/hosts
echo -e "`ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | head -n 1 | cut -f 2 -d ":" | cut -f 1 -d " "`\t\t`hostname` `hostname | cut -f 1 -d '.'`" >> /etc/hosts

The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:

127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
::1			localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
216.119.194.130		ws-194-130.applabs.com ws-194-130

WARNING: If during the precheck you get a "not executed" instead of a "success" or "warning" your hosts file is wrong!

Kernel Parameters

Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file -

cat >> /etc/sysctl.conf <<EOF

Check Oracle Status

As root or oracle user:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status

Change Hostname

If you change the system hostname, this will break oracle.

To correctly change your system hostname:

Set hostname (using 'hostname')

```
hostname NEWNAME
```

Set hostname on reboot in /etc/sysconfig/network:

```
HOSTNAME=NEWNAME
```

Set hostname lookup in /etc/hosts:

```
10.10.10.100  NEWNAME
```

Change Oracle listner.ora:

$ vi $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /opt/oracle/product/11.1/db_1/network
/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =

    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = NEWNAME)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

Change Oracle tnsnames.ora:

$ vi $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /opt/oracle/product/11.1/db_1/network
/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

    )
  )

Restart oracle

service oracle stop ; service oracle start
