Installing Oracle9i Database on Red Hat Linux 9

Installing Oracle9i Database on Red Hat Linux 9
By Abhijeet Kulkarni

Database Version: Oracle9i R2 (9.2.0.1.0)

1. Creating users and groups:
-------------------------
Become root and execute the following commands

$ su -

# groupadd oinstall
# groupadd dba
# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle

2. Creating directories.
--------------------------
We will install everything under /opt/ora9:

# mkdir -p /opt/ora9/product/9.2
# mkdir /var/opt/oracle
# chown oracle.dba /var/opt/oracle
# chown -R oracle.dba /opt/ora9

3. Preinstallation (system configuration):
---------------------------

3.1 Install these compatibility libraries:

compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libgcj-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
nss_db-compat-2.2-20.i386.rpm

You will find these packages on the installation CD s.
RedHat RPMS directory of CD1 first file
and RPMS directory CD2 remaining 3 files


3.2 Set kernel params to be correct at startup:

Append these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
You might want to change these values if you have more RAM:

kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000

Append these lines into /etc/security/limits.conf

oracle soft nofile 65536
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft nproc 16384
oracle hard nproc 16384

REBOOT the system so the kernel changes can take effect

4. Preinstallation (oracle environment):
----------------------------
Login as oracle user:

su - oracle

Put the following lines in ~/.bashrc:

#oracle 9i
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/ora9
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/ora9/product/9.2
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
export ORACLE_SID=ora9i
export ORACLE_TERM=vt100
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
export THREADS_FLAG=native
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/opt/ora9/product/9.2/bin:$PATH
#
# change this NLS settings to suit your country:
# example:
# german_germany.we8iso8859p15, american_america.we8iso8859p2 etc.
#
export NLS_LANG='AMERICAN_AMERICA,KO16KSC5601'


If you want other national settings (these are croatian), consult the supported settings here, and change the NLS_LANG variable accordingly.

5. Installation:
------------------------

Login as root and allow user oracle to write to X display:

su -
xhost +

Login to oracle user:

su - oracle

Start the installation. Do not switch to your CD-ROM mount directory because you will not be able to unmount the 1st Cd to insert others when asked.

/mnt/cdrom/install/linux/runInstaller

During the installation, you will be prompted to insert other disks. Open up a new console, unmount the current disk with umount /dev/cdrom (as root), replace the disk. If Redhat9 does not mount it automatically, mount it yourself with mount /dev/cdrom

Your installation will produce two errors.

* First, you will see an error dialog informing about problems with ins_oemagent.mk. Choose ignore on this one, we will fix it in postinstallation.
* Second dialog will inform you about an "Error in invoking target install of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk".
When that happens, open up a new console and login as oracle user. Execute the following commands:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/install
$ tail make.log

You will see a line such as this:

gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/
-L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/stubs/ /opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o
-L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut
-lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib -lnls9
-lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9

Copy this line, add -ldl at the end and run it in $ORACLE_HOME/bin

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/
-L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/stubs/
/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/
-lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut -lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc
-Wl,-rpath,/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9
-lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9 -ldl

Now hit the ignore button on the dialog and the installation will continue.

At the end, Oracle installation will probably inform you that agents failed to start. Choose ignore on this one, we will fix it later.

6. Postinstall
---------------------------
Open up a console and login as oracle user. Execute these lines:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
$ make -f ins_net_client.mk install

Then edit the $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk file so that lines 13-14 change from:

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)

to

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) -ldl $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)

Then do a

$ make -f $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk install

Now you should be able to start your agents with

$ /opt/ora9/product/9.2/bin/agentctl start

7. Starting the database
------------------------------
If your installer hangs after the last setp in section 5 don't worry. Wait for some time just to see if it responds, otherwise kill it.
Add the following lines in a shell script such as setvar.sh
#oracle 9i
export ORACLE_BASE=/home1/orahome
export ORACLE_HOME=/home1/orahome/ora92
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
export ORACLE_SID=ora9i
export ORACLE_TERM=vt100
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
export THREADS_FLAG=native
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/opt/ora9/product/9.2/bin:$PATH
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data

Save this file and at a command prompt run
$source setvar.sh

Now go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin
Edit the dbca script with any editor
$kwrite dbca

Locate the JRE_HOME environment variable. This points to the JDK 1.8 that is part of installation CD. Change this and point it to JDK1.3 or 1.4 of your linux installation go to the end of file where the this is used invoke Java programs. Remove the bin directory from the path and rename jre executable to java. It's just like calling the java program with our on JDK.
Start
$./dbca

8. Starting the database instance
Open a sqlplus session and log in as sys/passwd as sysdba
sql>create spfile from pfile='full path of the <init>.ora file created by the dbca utility ';
Eg /home1/orahome/admin/dl226b/pfile/initdl226b.ora

sql>shutdown immediate;
sql>startup;
