Oracle 10g on Oracle linux 6.2

Helo there,
I'm planing to install Oracle 10.2.0.1 on a Oracle Linux 6.2 64 bit hosted on VMWare workstation.
I've found different places that describe the install process of Oracle linux, but most of them are either for Redhat 5 or Entreprise linux 5. The main ressource I found for Oracle Linux 6 is here:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/OracleLinux6Installation.php
But it does no specify the packages dependencies for Oracle database product. Package dependencies are listed[here and there|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD], but again for Redhat 5 and Entreprise linux 5.
Is there any official documentation explaining the instllation process, including dependencies, for the 6.2 version of Oracle Linux ?
Thanks in advance !

Thanks in advance !Oracle 10 is not certified on Oracle Linux 6. So no, there are not lists of package dependencies for that combination. Use Oracle Linux 5

Someone can help me to setup Oracle linux 6.0

I've download oracle linux 6.0 ISO to setup in my VM workstation, but when the setup progress boot up, I can't find any GUI setup director in my screen.
I chosen install or upgrade existing system item, and I chose language, timezone,etc..... but it still not lead to a GUI installation director, what's up!! is it my version issue or other??
bty, someone can give me a link to download other version??

When you select the "install or upgrade existing system" option, there will be a sub-screen where you can select software and enable additional repositories. There will be options like "basic server" (default), Desktop, Software Development Workstation, etc. Leave the default, but select the "Customize now" button to add the Desktop packages including Gnome and X-windows.

Installing Oracle Linux 6 For 11g

I'm downloading Oracle Linux 6,2 64-bit with the single intention to simply install Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition and I've never used or installed Oracle Linux before. I know that in order to install Oracle 11g database, I will need to have some kind of graphic utility like X but I do not need a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE (which is not permitted on servers per company policy). Can someone tell me what exactly or which specific options I will need to minimally install Oracle database 11g? I don't want to install the entire DVD content to my server but rather know what packages are required and ONLY install those. I don't know if the Linux installer has a fairly self explanatory / easy to use options based on me using this system as a database server but if anyone can please help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sorry everyone but I've retured back from vacation to focus back on getting Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 installed on Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit. I've got the O.S. up and I thought I selected all the correct / required packages to perform the standard installation using the Universal Installer but it's not working for some reason. I'm unable to forward my 'xclock' session from the database server host to my workstation (Ubuntu 12.04 Linux). When I open a terminal window on my Ubuntu Linux machine and type 'xclock', the application opens w/o any issues. When I SSH into my Oracle database server and attempt to forward the X11 session over to my machine, I get:
carlos@ghost:~$ ssh -x carlos@oracledb
carlos@oracledb's password:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ logout
Connection to oracledb closed.I obviously have the application 'xclock' and all required dependencies installed but for some reason it doesn't forward from my Oracle server to my workstation so that I can start the installation...

Installing Oracle Linux 5.8

Hi ,
I wish to remove Win7 (32 bit Home Edition) and install Oracle Linux 5.8 in it.
Configuration of my workstation :
1. 4GB RAM
2. 500 GB HDD
3. Intel Core i5 processor (2.27 GHz * 2).
Could you please tell me how to install the this ? Also, please suggest a good anti-virus for it. Also, is VM required to be installed before installing Oracle Linux ?
Thanks,
Haider

Thanks,
HaiderIf you want to remove the existing Windows installation and replace it with Oracle Linux any other operating system, then you need to have the installation media for that new OS on a CD, and boot from there. You need to also make sure the new OS supports the hardware on which you intend to install. This question would be better asked in the [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=822] Oracle Linux forum
If you want to remove the existing Windows installation and replace it with Oracle Linux any other operating system, then a vm is not requried. A vm is required to create the new OS as a vm, which runs as a task under the host OS.

Remotely connecting to oracle linux on vmware from putty

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Linux on Vmware workstation. The Host is Windows 8. From the Host, I am able to connect via putty. But from another laptop, I am unable to connect via putty. Both, the laptop and the Host PC are on the same wifi. Can anyone suggest?
Thanks

There is no way to pin point your problem because it is not possible to guess how you have configured your network and how you configured your virtual machine. A common problem is either your Windows firewall, or you have been choosing the default network adapter for your virtual machine setup of the guest system, which typically uses a NAT adapter, so your host PC acts as a proxy for your virtual machine, but it does not allow to address your virtual machine from outside. This is a question of your vmware setup and not necessarily a question how to configure Oracle Linux. However, this is not a vmware forum.

ThanksZip files are binary files. They, in themselves are neither Windows nor *nix files. Unzip it. It contains an iso file, which is also binary. Then create your VM. When you first start your vm, you will be prompted for the installation image. Point it to the iso file you unzipped.

FYI: Oracle Linux and devfs

This message is for users of Oracle Linux who may be thinking of running Richarg Gooch's devfs (part of the 2.4 kernels and available as a patch to the 2.2 kernels).
Oracle cannot be installed, successfully, on a system running devfs most likely because the Oracle Installer cannot correctly calculate the available file space due to changes in the naming of the file systems.
devfs CAN be run once Oracle is installed.

means that you Oracle Database can't allocate the initial resource to startup, like semaphores or shared memory.
Check with Oracle Install Instruction for linux and the parameters of your kernel.
For example Mandrake 7.2 kernel-workstation mode was compiled with sufficients resources, in the other hand Mandrake 7.2-secure kernel doesn't have enough semaphores or shared memory to run Oracle DB.
Look at /usr/src/linux directory to check these parameters and re-compile the kernel.

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=##.##.###.###
DOMAIN:test.com
DEFROUTE=yes
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
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
#IPADDR:##.##.###.###
#PREFIX=24
#GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
DNS1=##.##.###.###
#DOMAIN:test.com
DEFROUTE=yes
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.

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
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 1002047 500000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 151525080 361253654 104864287+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 1003518 151001087 74998785 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1003520 7002111 2999296 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 7004160 11001855 1998848 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 11003904 51001343 19998720 83 Linux
/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.
Regards,
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.

Oracle Linux 6.2 with RAC 11g cluster install fails on root.sh ioctl

I have 2 HP Servers I'm trying to install a cluster to.
I've tried Oracle Linux 6.2 and 6.3 with the same error on both nodes when running the root.sh script.
I have tried the permissions, run-levels, etc that I have found in the forum and nothing has worked except the deconfigure works great. /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force
root.sh Errors:
Adding daemon to inittab
CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ohasd failed to start at /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl line 443.
I can't see whats wrong, I did use ASM to configure iSCSI disks from a storage device which appeared to work correctly:
# oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
VOL5
# ls /dev/oracleasm/disks/
VOL1 VOL2 VOL3 VOL5
When I created the disks with ASM I used multipath successfuly:
# oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/mapper/23535333762373932
The other node can see the disks just fine with oracleasm listdisks
I chose 3 disks for the OCR - VOL1-3
There was one forum work around to edit the $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_lib.pm which I did no Oracle Linux 6.3 to no avail. I also tried using NFS mounted volumes for the OCR drives but got the same error.
Using the install: linux.x64_11gR2_grid

oracleasm (aka asmlib) may not be supported on RHEL(OEL) 6.x. You do NOT need asmlib and it's days are numbered.
upon review of this document, even though it was for 10g, it still appears to be relevant
"10g: Using Openfiler iSCSI with an Oracle RAC database on Linux [ID 371434.1]"
and
udev utility can be used for disk mounting consistency between the nodes. It is the preferred tool. Note:371814.1 explains how to use the udev option.
