This guide describes how to install and configure Oracle9i Database Release 2 for Linux x86-64 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 Oracle9i Database 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:
Prepare Installation CD-ROM
Determine the Installation user name.
The default name is oracle, and the user is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
Determine the Installation group name.
The default name is oinstall, and the group is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
Determine the Administration group name.
The default name is dba, and the group is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
Determine the Oracle SID.
The default name is orcl.
Determine the Oracle Base.
The default directory is "/opt/oracle".
Determine the Oracle Home.
The default directory is "/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0".
The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements.
Physical memory(RAM) | 512MB |
Disk space | For software files:2.5GB
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) |
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”Ēs 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 have 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
MIRACLE LINUX V3.0 is optimized for Oracle. Therefore changing kernel parameters is not needed. If you would like to change kernel parameters, modify the file /etc/sysctl.conf.
