Oracle Linux - CD or DVD?

Does Oracle/SUN offer a free CD or DVD to try the New Oracle Linux?

I assume you mean the new packages associated with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel? It's meant to be run on top of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. You can achieve this by downloading the CD or DVD ISOs from eDelivery (http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux) and then use the yum configuration file for OL5/EL5 from the Oracle Public Yum Server (http://public-yum.oracle.com). Just follow the easy instructions at the top of the main page there and you should be set.

Oracle Linux 6 - boot.iso file.

I just downloaded oracle linux 6 - 64b, DVD image, but there's no boot.iso file in /images directory.
Unfortunatelly I hardly need this file for fresh install, because our HP server has only virtual CD drive connected
via iLO console, so standard installation is possible from CD images or via boot.iso mounted as CD + network install
I haven't found boot.iso on edelivery.oracle.com\linux.
Any idea pls ?

Preparing the system for an install from hard disk is pretty simple. First do a (minimal) install of EL5. Make sure to review the partitioning, reduce the size of the lvm partition by about 5GB, and add a 5GB partition at the end of the device. Let's assume the iso file is called ol6.iso and the last partition is sda3. Then do:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
cd /mnt
wget http://.../ol6.iso
mkdir iso
mkdir images
mount -o loop,ro ol6.iso iso
cp iso/images/install.img images
cp iso/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot
cp iso/isolinux/initrd.img /boot
cd /
umount /mnt/iso
umount /mnt
cat >>/boot/grub/grub.conf <<EOF
title install ol6
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz askmethod
    initrd /initrd.img
EOFYou need to select custom partitioning for the OL6 installation, and make sure not to delete sda3. Once the installation is done, you can delete the extra partition, or use it for swap or something else.

Problem Installing Oracle Linux 6.3 - 'Disc not found message box'

I'm trying to install Oracle linux on a old laptop. Single disk drive.
I downloaded V33412-01Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 3 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)
burned it as an ISO image on a CD.
Inserted the CD,started the system, cd booted and the installation started.
Skipped the verify media (I verifed it during another installation try)
selected English
selected US
When prompted for installation method, I tried selecting 'LOCAL CD/DVD' since that's where my CD is at. I get a 'Disc not found message box'.
I've also tried to select the /dev/sda1, which the installation accepted, only to fail later saying it can't find the ISO image.
I also tried putting the ISO image and unzipping the contents of the file onto a USB stick and selcting this during the install - same error.
I tried putting V33413-01 onto the USB stick and selcting that - its too big to burn on a CD, that didn't work..
Any ideas here? Though this was a easy installation but I'm scratching my head as to how to continue?

Not very clearly - for me at least.
Not sure - and not sure where to find instructions on how to do this.
It mentions that you don't need the source CDs
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 3 source DVD 1 V33413-01 3.1G
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 3 source DVD 2 V33414-01 1.7G
Not sure what to do with these anyway.
Installation
To install Oracle Linux 6.3 from DVD media, follow the following steps:
1. Download the compressed binary DVD images
Download Oracle Linux 6.3 DVD from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
You do not need to download source DVDs to install Oracle Linux.
2. Verify the downloaded media
Verify the downloaded file by comparing its sha1sum or md5sum with the published
sha1sum or md5sum.
3. Write the DVD image to DVD
Use your favorite cd burning software to write these images directly to DVD.
You should not simply copy the files onto the DVD. You must use a DVD burner
that can accept an ISO image as input, and which can create a bootable DVD
from it. To test if you have burned the images correctly, insert a burned
DVD and ensure that multiple files and directories are visible.
6. Insert the DVD, and boot
Insert the DVD into your system, boot from DVD, and follow the on-screen instructions
to deploy Oracle Linux!

Oracle Linux Server DVD found...or not

Hi,
I'm using Microsoft's SVCMM to install Oracle Linux Server 5.7 on a 64-bit virtual machine; I'm using the text mode installer.
The first thing the installer tries to do is verify the DVD. It shows a progress bar that completes, then I see the message:
[Media Check Result]
The media check PASSED for the image:
Oracle Linux Server 5.7 DVD
It is OK to install from this media.
I then press "OK" and the next dialog box, immediately, says:
[Error]
The Oracle Linux Server CD was not
found in any of your CDROM drives.
Please insert the Oracle Linux
Server CD and press OK to retry.
How does this make sense?

I experienced the same problem in a different type of setup and remember the fix was to use the "skip" button to bypass media verification.

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

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.

How to install oracle 11g on oracle linux 6.1.

Hello everyone here at oracle forum.!
I'm new on using the linux and i badly need to learn it including the Oracle Database for making PHP website.
Because of this i downloaded all the packages of Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) at E-Delivery.
Now i was having a hard time figuring out how to install all the 4 ISO images. the only one that worked was was the boot.iso that installed the Oracle Linux 6 without the DB.
So what would i do to use the 3 updates?
I burnt them all one by one on different DVD but it wont look for the other packages.
So please guys bare with me and help me figure out how to use the other 3 packages for i know it has the Oracle Database.
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 1 V26570-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 2 V26571-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Boot iso image for x86 (32 bit) V26573-01

Oracle Linux does not install any Oracle Database. You don't need the source and boot.iso DVD. You can boot and install the system from the Oracle Linux 6.1 installation DVD. The boot.iso is useful for a network install and the source DVD if you want to compile everything yourself.
As far as I know, Oracle Database has not been certified for Oracle Linux 6 yet. That does not necessarily mean you cannot install Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 6 yet, but you will run into problems with software requirements, package dependencies and perhaps incompatibilities, i.e. ext4 file system.
I think your best option is to install Oracle Linux 5 and certainly use Oracle VirtualBox. If you are new to Linux you probably cannot use Linux as your primary OS yet, and VirtualBox will allow you to install and re-install without jeopardizing your primary host OS. You can also download pre-build virtual machines for Virtualbox from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html which might have everything you need installed and ready to use.

How to install GCC and DKMS on Oracle Linux?

Hello,
I am a newbie to Oracle Linux. I installed Oracle Linux on a virtual machine using Oracle VirtualBox. Now I need to install the packages DKMS and GCC in order to share drives between the host and the ghost.
Here is what is happening:
# yum install dkms
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
No Repositories Available to Set Up
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing paskage install arguments
No Match for afgument: dkms
Nothing to do
Please, advice what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Here is what you need to install under Oracle Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions:
<pre>yum -y install gcc kernel-uek-devel-$(uname -r)</pre>
The packages are available from the Oracle public yum repository as already mentioned, or on the installation DVD in the server directory.

It could be a hardware issue. I suggest to run Memtest. You can download a free stand-alone disk image, which you can burn to CD from here:
http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
Then burn the iso disk image and restart the computer from the appropriate media. Be sure to follow the instructions of your CD/DVD software to properly burn .ISO images. There is plenty of info on the web.

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

Oracle Linux versioning

Hi Avi, i'm quiet confuse if the release and distributions:
uname -a on my server show me 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek, that mean that it's a Entreprise Linux 5 ?
what the diff betwenn OEL5, OEL6 EL5UEK, EL6UEK, i'm lost.
Oracle Linux kernel appear as UEK ?
I just go to edelivery and found theses download :
1) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86_64 (64 Bit)     V37084-01     3.5G
2) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37088-01     197M
3) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 UEK Boot ISO image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37090-01     196M
4) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 1     V37086-01     3.1G
5) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 2     V37087-01     1.9G
If I build a server with the 1) what will be the result of a uname -a ?
What the purpose of the number 2 and 3 ?
So many questions ....

what the diff betwenn OEL5, OEL6 EL5UEK, EL6UEK, i'm lost.There is no OEL, just OL. :) Oracle Linux 5 (OL5) and Oracle Linux 6 (OL6) are completely different major versions of Oracle Linux. Each of those has two kernels, the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) or the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK).
Oracle Linux kernel appear as UEK ?Yes.
I just go to edelivery and found theses download :
1) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86_64 (64 Bit)     V37084-01     3.5GThis is the complete install DVD, which includes both the RHCK and UEK as well as most of the packages available for OL6.
2) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37088-01     197MThis is a small bootable image that uses the RHCK during install but only contains the installation program, but none of the packages. You need to have the contents of the ISO from (1) available somewhere on your network.
3) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 UEK Boot ISO image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37090-01     196MThis is a small bootable image that uses the UEK Release 2 kernel during install but only contains the installation program, but none of the packages. You need to have the contents of the ISO from (1) available somewhere on your network. This image also has btrfs support during installation, something that (1) and (2) do not.
If I build a server with the 1) what will be the result of a uname -a ?The default kernel is 2.6.39-400.17.1.el6uek, but it will also install the RHCK 2.6.32-358.el6.

Oracle-Linux-Doubts

I have installed Oracle linux 6.2. I need GUI mode. What should i do to get that?
Also i dont have internet connnection on my server for accessing yum repo(online). So where can i download the repository image(offline) for oracle linux 6.2
Please clarify my questions. Its very urgent...
Thanks,
Veijar

In addition to the previous reply, the following will configure YUM to use your local installation DVD:
Login as root and paste the following to the system command prompt:
<pre>
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/dvd.repo <<EOF
[Install_DVD_base]
name=Install DVD
baseurl=file:///mnt/Server
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
skip_if_unavailable=True
EOF
</pre>
To use the yum software repository of the OS installation DVD, it will be necessary to mount it:
<pre>
cd /
umount /dev/cdrom
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
yum clean all
yum repolist
</pre>
Note: The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall package is not on the installation DVD, unless you use Oracle Linux 6.3.

Idiot needs help! Setup Home Oracle Linux Server

I'm trying to setup a Linux server using an old PC. I can download Oracle Linux in a zipped file from Oracle. Then, I'm suppose to unzip using an Oracle supplied utility and burn the extracted files to a DVD. My client PC is running Vista Home. I'm a little confused on how I unzip the "Linux" files and burn them to a DVD. I would think this should all be done in a Linux environment/(or on a Linux box) - this is what I'm trying to setup. How do I get the ISO IMG files extracted and burned for a Linux boot cd? If it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, you're right - I don't.
HELP!

Most PC's come with DVD/CD authoring software installed, like Nero or MagicISO maker, etc. What software do you have available? There is plenty of information available in Google about how to burn an iso image to dvd. Or you could check http://www.wikihow.com/Burn-ISO-Files-to-DVD. Whatever you choose, make sure to burn the raw ISO image and NOT the disk of the "mounted" .ISO image. I would also recommend 7-zip to unzip the downloaded files.
In case you are installing this for educational or development purpose and your PC has at least 4 GB of RAM you may consider to use free Oracle VirutalBox from http://www.virtualbox.org. It can boot and use saved .iso files without the need to burn media. This option will not jeopardize your Windows installation and allow you to run Linux as a Guest OS under your current Windows OS, when you need it. Don't fumble around with old fashioned dual-boot options - it's better to get some more cheap RAM and bigger disk if necessary. There are also pre-build virtual machines available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html
