Prepare Linux virtual machine for 11gR2 installation on Linux 5.x

Written By askMLabs on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 | 7:31 AM

There are some OS preparation steps to be performed before installing database on linux.

Pls refer the Master Note ID : 851598.1 and complete all the steps specified in the note as per your OS.

In the present article, i am using the OEL 5.4 (32-bit) as OS and following the note id : 880936.1 to complete all the preparatory steps for 11gR2 database creation.

Create the required user and groups for the installation


  1. groupadd -g 1000 oinstall

  2. groupadd -g 1200 dba

  3. useradd -u 1100 -g oinstall -G dba oracle

  4. mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle

  5. chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app

  6. chmod -R 775 /u01/app


Required RPMs installation :

Make sure that the following RPMs are installed,


  1. binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.el5

  2. compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61

  3. elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5

  4. glibc-2.5-24

  5. glibc-common-2.5-12

  6. ksh-20060214-1.7

  7. libaio-0.3.106

  8. libgcc-4.1.2-42.el5

  9. libstdc++-4.1.2-42

  10. make-3.81-1.1


  1. elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm

  2. a.requires elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm as a prerequisite.

  3. b.elfutils-libelf-devel and elfutils-libelf-devel-static each depend upon the other. Therefore, they must be installed together, in one (1"rpm -ivh" command as follows:

  4. rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm

  5. kernel-headers-2.6.18-92.el5.i386.rpm

  6. glibc-headers-2.5-24.i386.rpm

  7. glibc-devel-2.5-24.i386.rpm

  8. libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm

  9. libgomp-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm

  10. gcc-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm

  11. gcc-c++-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm

  12. libaio-devel-0.3.106-3.2.i386.rpm

  13. sysstat-7.0.2-1.el5.i386.rpm

  14. unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm

  15. unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm

NOTE :
rpm -qa | grep -i <rpm name>  ==> to check if the rpm is installed or not
rpm -ivh <rpm name>    ==> to install rpm
rpm -e <rpm name>  ==> to remove package from the OS


In my OS following four RPMs are not installed.

libaio-devel-0.3.106-3.2.i386.rpm
sysstat-7.0.2-1.el5.i386.rpm
unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm

Finally add the following entries in the oracle user profile ( .bash_profile )
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/11.2.0/db_1
ORACLE_SID=TESTDB
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_BASE
export ORACLE_HOME
export ORACLE_SID
export PATH

Now the OS is ready for installing 11gR2 database.

Hope it helps
