This guide describes how to install and configure Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1.0) on UNIX systems with the Install Navigator for Oracle. Read the release notes for the product on your platform before installing it. The release notes are available on the Oracle Database 10g disc. The latest version of the release notes is also available on the OTN Web site:
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/
Before starting installation, you should consider the following things:
The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements.
CPU | PentiumIII 450MHz |
Physical memory(RAM) | 512MB |
Disk space | For software files:2.5GB (the Oracle Database 10g Products from the Companion CD:1GB) For database files:1.2GB (/tmp: 400MB) |
Swap space | 1GB or twice the size of RAM (On systems with 2GB or more of RAM, 1-2 times the size of RAM) |
Supported Oracle Version | on and after R10.1.0.3 |
Note:
If there is less than 400 MB of disk space available in the /tmp directory, set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle user environment. The Install Navigator for Oracle would unknowingly switch user from root to oracle, hence to set these environment variables for the root user's environment doesn't work at all this time.
Create a directory that has more than 400MB free disk space.
# mkdir /opt/tmp
# chmod 1777 /opt/tmp
Add the TEMP, TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle user's shell startup file(.bash_profile)
export TEMP=/opt/tmp
export TMPDIR=/opt/tmp
Log in and switch user to root. In order to mount the disc, enter a command similar to the following:
$ su -
# mount /mnt/cdrom
To run Install Navigator for Oracle as the root user, Enter a command similar to the following:
# oranavi
Start Install Navigator for Oracle. Select the Operation type from following choices, then Click Next.
Specify the installation media.
กกCheck the Product Version that you plan to install, then Click OK.
Specify the local Unix groups and user, then Click Next.
Specify the oracle user password and user home directory, then Click Next.
The ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables, then Click Next.
If Add some environment variables of the Oracle Database to the Apache configured file, Click Yes. Otherwise Click No.
If Start the installation now, Click Yes. Otherwise Click No.
Start Oracle Universal Installer. then, Click Next.
Specify the full path of the inventory directory, and operating system group name which is suppose to be "oinstall". then, Click Next.
Only during the first installation of Oracle products on a system, run $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh in a separate terminal window as the root user:
# /opt/oracle/orainstRoot.sh
After running the script, Click Continue.
In the Destination section, specify the Path value for the Oracle home directory, then Click Next.
Select the installation type, then Click Next. At this time select "Enterprise Edition".
Verify that all of the prerequisite checks succeed, then Click Next.
In some cases you'll see a dialog stating that packages like
'binutils' and/or 'openmoptif' cannot be found in the system.
Most of the time it is due to the fact that the version of package required by the installer and the one for installed package are different.
You can issue the following command to retrieve the version
of package that is installed in the system.
กกกก# rpm -q package_name
If it happens to be the case where the version of the package installed is newer than what is required by the installer, you can ignore this message and move on to the next step.
Choose either to create a database with this installation or install the software only. At this time select "Create a starter database" and "General Purpose". Accept the default values, then click Next.
Specify the Global Database Name which is also used for the SID, and select Database Character Set. The SID should be equal to the SID environment variable.
Select the management options for this instance. At this time select the "Database Control". Accept the default values, then click Next.
Select the storage mechanism for database creation. At this time select the "File System" and specify the database file location. then click Next.
Select whether or not to enable automated backups. At this time select the "Do not enable Automated backups". Accept the default values, then click Next.
Enter and confirm passwords for all of the privileged database accounts, then click Next.
Review the information displayed, then Click Install.
The Configuration Assistants screen displays status information for some configuration assistants that configure the software and create a database. After the Database Configuration Assistant finishes, click OK to continue.
After the configuration assistants, this window appears. Then, run the $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh in a separate terminal window as the root user:
# /opt/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/root.sh
This is the End of Installation. The configuration assistants configure several Web-based applications. This screen displays the URLs configured for these applications. Make a note of the URLs used.
