How to Create Oracle Linux 5.7 64 bit Bootable DVD

Hi Guru's,
I have downloaded the OEL 5.7 64 bit from E-delivery.
Below are the 2 zip filesV27570-01.zip and V27572-01.zip.
I have extracted the V27570-01.zip and it's contained another zip called 'OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso'.
If I extract the 'OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso' file then following folders and files exists.
Folders - Cluster,ClusterStorage,images,isolinux,Server,VT.
Files - .discinfo,.treeinfo,blafdoc.css,EULA,eula.en_US,eula.py,GPL etc.
Could you please help me to create a bootable DVD for OEL 5.7 64 bit.
Shall i just burn the DVD with OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso zip file?
I am unable to understand how to create the bootable DVD for OEL 5.7 using those two zip files(V27570-01.zip and V27572-01.zip).
Somebody can help me step by step to create a bootable DVD for OEL 5.7.
Thanks in advance

What possible reason could there be to install OL 5.7 since 5.9 is already available?
Anyway, you do not need the source distribution or any boot CD. The standard installation DVD (V36332-01) is bootable and contains the necessary installation packages.
If the download file has a .zip file name extension you need to unzip the ISO image before burning it to DVD. The download of version 5.9 is no longer zipped. In any case, before burning the ISO image file, make sure the file you download is not corrupted. You can check the "View Digest" page from the Oracle edelivery software download page and verify the checksum with the file you downloaded.
The checksum must match, otherwise the downloaded file cannot be used.
Under Microsoft Windows, see the following knowledgebase article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
Under Linux and Mac OSX:
$ openssl sha1 oracle_linux.iso
To burn the ISO image:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file
For Apple Mac OS X and older versions of MS Windows:
http://www.wikihow.com/Burn-ISO-Files-to-DVD
If you use any Type 2 virtualization software, such as VirtualBox, you do not need to burn any DVD and can use the ISO file directly.

  • How to compile Oracle Linux source?

    I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?
    I tried to search this forum as well as other places but couldn't find any information hence thought of opening a thread before I proceed to download correct file which will again take 10+ hrs with my Internet speed :(
    Any help is highly appreciated. Also I need to know which packages are required to be installed for compiling the source if at all that is possible. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
    Thanks in advance for any help and hope to get a reply soon :) I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.
    Edited by: user6582219 on Apr 12, 2012 1:10 AM
    While browsing the forum for any possible solution I came to a thread that discuss installation of a package oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall. When searched through search engine I came to know about recent certification Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux 6, here is the link https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
    https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
    Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.
    I would still appreciate if someone could answer my question just for knowing the procedure compiling source. May be it can help someone else trying to achieve this.
    I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.
    Before proceeding here are my environment details:
    Machine: x86 32 bit with 2 GB RAM/250 GB HD.
    OS: Kubuntu 11.10 Desktop and Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 in dual boot mode.
    Here are my partition details for your reference but as I am planning to do the installation from the scratch following new ideal scheme you can jump to last paragraph following the line "*********************************" for my questions.
    Unfortunately my partition plan went wrong and here is what I have now:
    Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x3d5ba9e1

    /dev/sda8 51003392 110041087 29518848 83 Linux
    Partition table entries are not in disk order
    /dev/sda1 here is /tmp, /dev/sda2 is my data partition, I have separate /home / (root) partition for Kubuntu and remianing around 20 GB in extended partition is used for Oracle Linux 6.2 with default Oracle suggested LVM partition. I also have separate /boot for Kubuntu and I chose not to install grub while installing Oracle Linux. I later modified grub.cfg to add entries for Oracle Linux and now I can boot both OSs successfully.
    My issue now is I cannot extend 20 GB space (in extended partition) that I have given to Oracle though I have around 40 GB space available. This is because I alreay have 4 primary partitions (one for /boot others for "data" and one extended partition). So I have to make primary partition out of free space and install Oracle in a single partition without following recommended partition layout scheme.
    Now I want to do the installation of both the OS from the scratch and really need an advice on partition layout scheme. Here is summary of what I wan to achieve:
    1. Keep the "data" partition (primary) intact and carve an ideal partition layout for both the OS with separate /boot, /tmp, /home, swap (and may be for /usr???). Also may be I can share swap?
    2. How do I go about using LVM and is it recommended for this case? What would be ideal locations for each partitions and sizes? I already used 100 GB for "data" so now I want to keep 60 GB for Oracle Linux (and Oracle DB for which I will again make few sub-partitions) and remaining will be for Kubuntu.
    Well, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions but since I can see very knowlegeable top contributors here that are willing to help novice users I thought of posting these questions.
    I would really really appreciate if someone can provide me rough draft of partition scheme in my case considering the sub-partitions needed for Oracle DB. I went thorugh number of forums and documentations to come up with solutuion and finally thought of getting help after much confusion.
    I really need to carefully plan this time because it's third time I am doing reinstallation from the scratch because of poor plan I followed previously.
    Thank you very much in advance and please let me know in case more information is needed from my side.

    Ramesh

    I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?Google will be your best friend for such a question, for instance, "Creating a Custom centos Linux bootable ISO Image". There is no need to duplicate the effort. I recommend you download the correct installation DVD, e.g. 5.8
    Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.So you don't need to install 5.2 anymore, but you want the information how to compile a installation DVD from the 5.2 source anyway?!
    I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.Questions may be important for you, but not necessarily for others. No one will complain if you create a new thread for particular questions or subjects. It is better to separate your topics and questions rather than creating a multi-mega thread, which does little to help anyone else but you. It means more work on your end, but it will be easier for anyone to participate or answer your questions, and it will allow you to better award answers.
    Regarding your partitioning questions: It is generally difficult to address such topics in a forum. You are asking for a book of information. My advice is to drop the old fashioned concepts of dual or triple boot options and install Oracle VirtualBox instead. It will make all of these questions obsolete and you can use whatever defaults when installing your virtual machine guest OS. Its a far more superior way of dealing with multiple operating systems on one and the same computer.
    I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
    I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.For what it's worth, if you can combine the two source below you should be able to install and run 11gR2 on Ubuntu 11.10.

  • How to configure Oracle Linux 6.5 to request ip address from dhcp server

    I have installed Oracle Linux 6.5 (minimal installation) on a virtual machine created on VMware vSphere 5.5.   I have tried to configure dhcp during the installation by editing IPv4 Settings of System eth0 to use Automatic (DHCP) but somehow it does not work.
    Then I changed the ifcfg-eth0 to use static ip address and that works.
    Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network:
    NETWORKING=yes
    HOSTNAME=TESTOL
    Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 using static ip address:
    DEVICE=eth0
    TYPE=Ethernet
    UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    ONBOOT=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED=yes
    BOOTPROTO=none
    HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    IPADDR:##.##.###.###
    PREFIX=24
    GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
    DNS1=##.##.###.###

    PEERDNS=yes
    PEERROUTES=yes
    IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
    IPV6INIT=no
    NAME="System eth0"
    Based on my understanding, I should able to use dhcp by changing ifcfg-eth0 (I commented the parameters not needed for dhcp by adding #) but I have tried the following ifcfg-eth0 and it does not work:
    DEVICE=eth0
    TYPE=Ethernet
    UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    ONBOOT=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED=yes
    #BOOTPROTO=no
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp

    PEERDNS=yes
    PEERROUTES=yes
    IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
    IPV6INIT=no
    NAME="System eth0"
    I have also tried to add GATEWAY=##.##.###.### to /etc/sysconfig/network but that does not help.
    I have checked that dhclient package is installed by using rpm -qa dhclient.
    I'm new to Linux.
    Thanks for any help

    If this is your first experience with Oracle Linux, I recommend you perform a default installation instead of going minimal, which is just going to make things more difficult for no good reason. Enterprise Linux is not MS Windows and the difference between default and minimal installations do not compare.
    You also do not want to use the rpm utility to install any software and use yum instead. The yum utility is standard. Rpm does not resolve software dependencies.
    Your ifcfg-eth0 script is missing the line that specifies to use DHCP:
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp
    You can also use the network configuration utility, even in text mode, by typing the following at the command prompt of root:
    system-config-network
    If the above utility is not installed:
    yum install system-config-network-tui
    You will have to configure an appropriate yum repository file. The process is explained in the Oracle Linux release notes:
    https://oss.oracle.com/el6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U5-en.html
    See 3.2.3. About Oracle Linux Installation Media
    Then insert the DVD or attach the DVD iso image to your virtual machine and mount it as following:
    mkdir -p /media/ISOimage
    mount /dev/cdrom /media/ISOimage
    The path "/media/ISOimage" should be the same as you specified in the yum repository file.
    After that you can use the yum utility to list or install software.

  • Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit instalation problem

    Hi,
    I downloaded Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit from Oracle site. I unpacked it and burned it on dvd, but it can't boot so I can't install it. I could't do it even with virtual machine. I also put disk detection latency to 15 sec so I could give Linux enough time to boot, but it did't help. So any sugestion? :) I have core i7 2600 and Gigabyte UD4 P67 B3, bit I don't think it is a problem.

    This directory contains image files used during the Oracle Linux 6
    installation process.
    The boot.iso file that is sometimes found in the images directory has
    been removed for space reasons. It is available as a separate download
    from ULN. boot.iso is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful
    in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the
    CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage.
    To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you
    normally would.

  • Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit install, X server won't start.

    Hello Everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day.
    I just installed Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit on a older windows pc that has 32 bit architecture. When I reboot it, it comes up and says "Failed to start the X Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
    When ever it probes for the video card, its fails then reboots to this every time.
    What do I need to do at this point?

    I agree with Dude.
    Oracle Linux is a server distro. You are installing it on a client platform. You are expecting it to support client hardware and have, by default, the required drivers on hand to support that client hardware.
    I would think that the failure here is on your part, and not on Oracle Linux's part.
    Why are you not using Ubuntu instead? It is one of the most widely used Linux desktop clients, and has out-of-the-box support for an extensive range of client hardware (from h/w acceleration support for video adapters, to supporting video/web cams. touch pads, WiFi chipsets, etc).
    If you want to test drive Oracle Linux as a server platform on client hardware, consider virtualisation (like free VirtualBox).

    In addition to Dude's comments ... it sounds like you are connecting to your vm machine via the vmware console.   Personally, I treat that console just like I treat the console on my physical servers in my data center.  That is, I don't run down to the data center whenever I need to log on to a linux server.  That's what remote console programs such as putty are for.  I have a suite of 10 linux vm's on my Win7 desktop, and one of my 4 "Prime Directives" is that I access them using exactly the same Windows desktop tools I use to access my physical servers. 

  • How to create Oracle Table in DWB from Oracle external table

    Dear all,
    I have create Oracle External Table by using DWB. Kindly tell me steps that how could i able to import this external oracle table into internal oracle table now.
    When I deploye this External table message arise "Name is using by an existing object.
    any help would be ppreciated.
    Thanks

    In your database is there a table already existing with the same name as your external table? If there is then you can try and rename your external table in OWB and then deploy it again.
    Then you can create a mapping with your source as the External Table Operator and the target as a Table Operator. When you run the mapping the data from the external table will be imported into the oracle table.
    I hope this helps.
