This guide describes how to install and configure Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1.0) 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 11g 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.
Physical memory(RAM) | 1024MB |
Disk space | For software files:1.5GB - 3.5GB (depend on the oracle option products)
For database files:1.6GB - 1.81GB (/tmp: 400MB) |
Swap space | RAM = 1GB - 2GB : 1.5 times the size of RAM RAM = 2GB - 8GB : same size of RAM RAM = 8GB - more: 0.75 times the size of RAM |
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
