COMING SOON: Installing Oracle9i Rac on Red Hat Advanced 2.1 (This Article Will Also Cover Ocfs and FireWire Drives)
??
Installing Oracle 9i on Redhat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9, Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1, And On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3 (RHEL AS 3)
??
Oracle On Red Hat Linux Portal ??
??
Here is a summary (howto) of how I installed: ??
Oracle 9ir2 (9.2.0) Database On Red Hat Advanced Server 3 (kernel 2.3.2-95.3) ??
Oracle 9ir2 (9.2.0) Database on Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 (Kernel 2.2.4-26) ??
Oracle 9ir2 (9.2.0) Database On Red Hat 9 (kernel kernel-2.4.20-6, glibc 2.3.2-5) ??
Oracle 9ir2 (9.2.0) Database on Red Hat 8.0 (Kernel 2.2.2.93-5) ??
Oracle 9ir2 (9.2.0) Database on Red Hat 7.3 (Kernel 2.2.5-34) ??
Oracle 9ir1 (9.0.1) Database on Red Hat 7.3 (kernel 2.2.5-34) ??
Oracle 9ir1 (9.0.1) Database on Red Hat 7.2 (Kernel 2.2.4-13) ??
Oracle 9ir1 (9.0.1) Database On Red Hat 7.1 (Kernel 2.2.2-10) ??
??
Validation / Certification: ??
Release 2 of Oracle 9i Database and Application Server, and Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.7 have been certified on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1, see "Oracle and Red Hat Collaborate to Develop Enhanced Enterprise Capabilities for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server." Red Hat 7.1 Has Been Validated for Oracle9i Database and for Oracle9i Application Server, See Red Hat Announces Validation of Red Hat Linux for Oracle. See Also Oracle Products On Red Hat Linux.??
??
ERRORS AND problem: ??
Some of the oracle errors and proBeerieced in Connection with item (9.0.1) And some on fly with 9ir2 (9.2.0). But Since I Cannot Say for Sure That A 9i (9.0.1) Installation Error Will Never Show Up During 9ir2 (9.2.0) Installation, I Simply Kept All Errors and Problems listed together, See Oracle Installation Errors and Oracle Installation Problems, Important Tips and Hints. ????
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3 (RHEL AS 3) ??
In order to install an Oracle9iR2 database on RH AS 3, the "Oracle9iR2 Patch Set 3 9.2.0.4.0" patchset and some other patches must be applied. Some errors can only be fixed by applying the 9.2.0.4 patchset. For more information See Running Oracle Installation On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3. ??
??
Red Hat 9: ??
Red Hat 9 includes now the the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) which is an improved implementation of POSIX threads for Linux. But using NPTL will cause several problems for Oracle applications. Note that Oracle9i has not been certified on Red Hat 9! ??
So to fix this problem, you can set the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.1, which means that the old "Linuxthreads with floating stacks" implementation will be used. Otherwise the Oracle installer runInstaller will hang, the Database Configuration Assistant dbca will not START ETC .; see Oracle Installation Errors for more information. To see WHERE this Environment Variable Can Be set, See set Oracle Environments. for more information on ld_assume_kernel, See Red Hat Linux 9 Release Notes.??
NOTE: Before you install Oracle9iR2, make sure that you first read the information about the error message "Error in invoking target install of make file /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk" in the Oracle Installation Errors Section! ????
Red Hat 8.0: ??
The only problem I expenented with oracle 9ir2 (9.2.0) on Red Hat 8.0 WAS: ??
"Error in invoking target install of makefile /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk" ??
But this does not Necessarily Mean That You Won't See Other Problems Described Here. See Oracle Installation Errors for more information.??

??
Unpacking Downloaded Oracle9i Installation Files and Burning Oracle9i CDS ??
??
Download Oracle9i for Linux from The Following Web Site: ??
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html ??
??
Uncompress and unpack downloaded files: ??
??
For oracle9i (9.2.0): ??
??
One Step Procedure (Uses Less Disk Space and IS Faster):
??
? zcat lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz | CPIO -IDMV
? zcat lnx_920_disk2.cpio.gz | CPI -IDMV
? zcat lnx_920_disk3.cpio.gz | CPI -IDMV
TWO Step Procedure:
??
? # Uncompress
?? Gunzip lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz lnx_920_disk2.cpio.gz lnx_920_disk3.cpio.gz Linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz
??
? # Unpack the downlined files:
?? cpio -idmv ?? cpio -idmv ?? cpio -idmv ?? For Oracle9i (9.0.1): ?? ?? One Step Procedure (Uses Less Disk Space and IS Faster): ?? ? zcat linux9i_disk1.cpio.gz | CPIO -IDMV ? zcat linux9i_disk2.cpio.gz | CPIO -IDMV ? zcat linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz | CPIO -IDMV TWO Step Procedure: ?? ? # Uncompress?? Gunzip Linux9i_disk1.cpio.gz Linux9i_disk2.cpio.gz Linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz ?? ? # Unpack the downlined files: ?? cpio -idmv ?? cpio -idmv ?? cpio -idmv ?? Now You Should Have 3 Director Containing Installation Files: ?? ?? Disk1 Disk2 DISK3 I Executed The Following Commands When I BURNED THE 3 CDS: ?? Mkisofs -r disk1 | cdrecord -v --eject dev = 0,0,0 speted = 15 - Mkisofs -r disk2 | cdrecord -v --eject dev = 0,0,0 speted = 15 - Mkisofs -r disk3 | cdrecord -v --eject dev = 0, 0, 0 speed = 15 - (You can get the dev numbers when you expected cdrecord -scanbus).?? ?? Setting Swap Space ?? ?? In order to perform a typical Oracle 9i installation and to create a simple prototype database, Oracle says that you need a minimum of 512MB of RAM for the Oracle9i (9.0.1) Server, and the amount of disk space (swap space) should be Equal to TWICE The Amount of Ram or at Least 400 MB, Whichever Is Greater. ?? I Tried to Test The Limits ON AN OLDER PC with 256 MB of Ram and $ 600 MB of Swap Space. I Was Able To Install Oracle 9i (9.0.1 & 9.2.0) And Oracle's Default Database WITHOUT ANY Problems. But when I Used Less Swap Space On this PC (256MB RAM), I Was Runnig Out of Memory. SO I Definitely Recommend To Use More Ram and / or More Swap Space As Specified In The Oracle Installation Guide.?? ?? NOTE: If you do not have enough swap space or RAM during the Oracle installation, in particular during the database creation, your Oracle server (Linux) will temporarily become unresponsive to any events for several minutes ??. ?? For More Information On Correctly Sing The Swap Space for your database, see SIZING SWAP SPAP Space. ???? To check the memory, run: ?? GREP MEMTOTAL / PROC / MEMINFO To Check the swap space, run: ?? CAT / proc / swaps ?? You Can Also Add Temporary Swap Space by Creating A Temporary Swap File Instead of Using A Raw device. Here is the procedure: ?? Su - root DD if = / dev / zero of = tmpswap bs = 1k count = 900000 CHMOD 600 TMPSWAP MKSWAP TMPSWAP Swapon Tmpswap To Disable The Temporary Swap Space Execute The Following Commands: ?? Su - root Swapoff tmpswap RM TMPSWAP ?? Setting shared memory ?? ?? For Oracle 9i (9.2.0) installation I had to increase the maximum shared memory size on my Linux server for all Red Hat versions The Oracle Database Configuration Assistant displayed the following error message on my server.: ?? ORA-27123: Unable to attach to shared memory segment. I Temporarely increased the shmmmax setting for the kernel by Executing The Following Command: ?? $ su - root # cat / proc / sys / kernel / shmmax 33554432 # echo `EXPR 1024 / * 1024 / * 1024`> / proc / sys / kernel / shmmax # cat / proc / sys / kernel / shmmax 1073741824 It is recommended to increase the shmmmax setting permanently for oracle. For more information, see setting shared memory. ?? ?? For more information on optimizing shared memory settings for Oracle databases on Linux, see Setting Shared Memory. These parameters apply to all Red Hat Linux versions. But note that except for the shmmax parameter, these parameter do not need to be changed for installing Oracle on Linux. But you might want to adjut shard memory settings later to optimize the server for oracle.?? ?? Checking / TMP Space ?? ?? The Oracle Universal Installer Requires Up to 400 MB of Free Space In The / Tmp Directory. ???? To Check the space in / tmp, run: ?? $ DF / TMP IF you do not have enough space in the / tmp directory, you can temporarily create a TMP Directory in Another FileSystem. Here Is How you can do this: ?? Su - root MKDIR / / TMP Chown root.root / / TMP CHMOD 1777 / / TMP Export temp = / ??????? # buy by oracle Export TmpDir = / ???? # @ used by linux programs like the Linker "LD" When you are doe with your oracle installation, shutdown oracle and remove the temporary directory: ?? Su - root RMDIR / / TMP Unset Temp Unset tmpdir ?? SIZING ORACLE DISK SPACE ?? ?? You will NEED ABOUT 2.5 GB for the Database Software. If you Perform A Typical Database Installation and not a customize, the you will need, the you will,............................................... ?? The "binutils" Issue ?? ?? Skip this step for oracle9ir2. ?? I DID NOT Experience this Problem with Oracle 9i (9.2.0), But Only with Oracle 9i (9.0.1).?? ?? The Binutils Package That Comes with Red Hat 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, And with Redhat 2.1 Advanced Server Doesn't Work with Oracle 9i (9.0.1) Universal Installer. Here Are The Options You have for 9.0.1: ?? ?? I Recommend The Following Approach: ?? Wait for the following oracle installation error: ?? "Error Invoking Target Install of Makefile /opt/oracle/product/9.0.1/plsql/lib/ins_plsql.mk" And Fix this problem as described in Oracle Installation Errors.?? I Recommend this Approach Since It Obviates The NEED TO CHANGE BINUTILS.?? I do Not Recommend The Following Approach: ?? Download The Following Binutil RPM Version and Downgrade Binutil on The Oracle Server: FTP: //ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/EN/OS/i386/redhat/rpms/binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.0.18-1.i386.rpm ???? Su - root RPM -UVH --force --Nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.0.18-1.i386.rpm WHEN you are done with the oracle installation, you Upgrade your binutil rpm back to the version you had before you downded. E.g. on the red hat 7.2 server i DID: ?? RPM -UVH --force --Nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm Here Is Oracle's Official Solution for Oracle 9ir1 or 9ir1 IAS on Redhat 2.1 Advanced Server Which I don't like: ?? http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/files/binutils_readme.html ?? ?? Checking Development Packages (rpms) ?? ?? You Will Need Some Rpm Development Packages for the Oracle Installer To Build The Oracle Modules, Other WiOULL GET An Error Messages Similar To this ONE: ??

NOTE: Before you install Oracle9iR2, make sure that you also read the information about the error message "Error in invoking target install of make file /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk" in the Oracle Installation Errors Section!?? ?? JDK ?? ?? Skip this step for oracle9ir2. ?? I successfully installed Oracle9iR2 without installing JDK on the system Oracle comes now with its own Java This means that you do not have to execute the following steps which were required for older Oracle versions:.. ?? ?? Download JDK 1.3.1 OR BlackDown 1.1.8_v3: (I Usually Used Blackdown) http://www.blackdown.org http://java.sun.com ?? According to the JDK Documentation, Install JDK Under / USR / local.

Set The Following Oracle Environment Variables Before You Start Runinstaller.?? ?? As the oracle user execute the folowing commands: ?? # Set the ld_assume_kernel environment variable only for red hat 9 and # for red hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3 (rhel as 3) !! # Use the "linuxthreads with floating stacks" IMPLEMENTATION INSTEAD OF NPTL: Export ld_assume_kernel = 2.4.1 ?? # Oracle Environment Export oracle_base = / opt / oracle Export Oracle_Home = / OPT / ORACLE / Product / 9.2.0 Export Oracle_sid = TEST Export Oracle_Term = xterm # export tns_admin = set if sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora, etc. Are Not in $ Oracle_Home / Network / Admin Export NLS_LANG = American; Export ORA_NLS33 = $ Oracle_Home / Ocommon / NLS / Admin / Data LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ oracle_home / lib: / lib: / usr / libld_library_path = $ ld_library_path: / usr / local / lib Export ld_library_path ?? # Set shell search paths Export path = $ PATH: $ oracle_home / bin ?? I successfully installed oracle9ir2 welch setting the following classpath environment variable: ?? # ClassPath = $ oracle_home / jre: $ oracle_home / jlib: $ oracle_home / rdbms / jlib # ClassPath = $ ClassPath: $ oracle_home / network / jlib # export classpath ?? You can put these environment settings at the end of the ~ oracle / .bash_profile file if you use bash. By this way you do not have to set the environment variables again when you login as "oracle", or when you switch to the User "Oracle" by Executing "Su - Oracle".?? ?? Starting Runinstaller ?? ?? Before You Continue, Make Sure You Have Set The Oracle Environment Variables, See Above. ?? ?? Oracle no longer supports a character mode installer. Therefore, in order to execute runInstaller directly from a console of a machine you are logged into (in this example the node name where Oracle is running is called "oracleserver"), you need to set the DISPLAY environment variable. Before you do that, make sure that you also allow runInstaller on "oracleserver" to display X information on your Linux desktop machine (in this example, the PC name where you are running X Windows like KDE or GNOME is called " yourdesktop "), because programs running on remote machines can not display information to your screen unless you give them the authority to do so. Note that the X display relink mechanism does not work for NT desktop machines unless you use Exceed. ?? Before you run runinstaller, Execute E.G. 'xterm' to See if Your x setup is real Working! If you install oracle on Your Desktop PC and not on a Remote Node, THEN You Can Skip Step 1 and 3.?? Step 1: Allow "Oracleserver" to Display X Information To your Desktop PC "YourDesktop": ?? ?? YourDesktop: user $ xhost oracleserver Step 2: Open a new window and login to the Oracle Server "Oracleserver" as root. This window Will be used for mounting and unmounting the oracle cds.?? Oracleserver: $ su - root ?? OraclesRVER: root # mount / mnt / cdrom ?? Step 3: from the console of your Oracle Server "Oracleserver" Where you will run runinstaller, Execute the follineing commands: ?? Oracleserver: $ su - oracle ?? OraclesRVER: Oracle $ export display = YourDesktop: 0.0 Step 4: Now Execute Runinstaller As "Oracle". Do not cd to / mnt / cdrom !! ?? ?? OraclesRVER: Oracle $ / MNT / CDROM / RUNINSTALLER ?? Note: Don't Run Runinstaller for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3 (RHEL AS 3) YET! See Running Oracle Installation On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3 for more information. ?? ?? Running Oracle Installation on RH 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9, And On RH AS 2.1 ?? ?? Keep In Mind That You Will Get One or More Errors Here During The Oracle Installation!

When runInstaller starts to configure the tools ( "Configuration Tools"), the "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" will sometimes hang. Simply stop the Assistant and restart it, or continue the installation. When the rest of the installation is finished, do a " Retry "for" Oracle Net Configuration Assistant ". This always worked for me.??When the system stops responding during the Oracle installation in particular during the database creation, then that's probably because you do not have enough RAM or enough swap space. I Saw The Whole System Not Responding Or To "HANG" for Several Minutes When I Did Not Have Enough Swap Space. If this happens, Simply Wait Until The System Starts To Respond Again.??

Since I was not able to find the glibc-2.3.2-5 RPMs available for download, I'm making the RPMs available on my website. These RPMs are copies of the glibc RPMs that came with the RH 9 CDs I bought in the I do not recommend to use any of the "compat" RPMS from Older Red Hat Distributions Since RH 9 Contains Major Changes.?? ?? Here is the procedure for installing glibc-2.3.2-5 Temporarely on your rh 9 server: ?? ?? Download the 2.3.2-5 glibc rpms from here on my web site.?? ?? Make sure to check all the digests and signatures contained in the downloaded RPMs since you never know if someone made changes to these RPMs or if someone replaced them To ensure the integrity and origin of the RPMs, run the following commands:. ?? ? $ su - root ? # rpm - IMPORT / USR / Share / RHN / RPM-GPG-KEY ? # rpm --checksig glibc-2.3.2-5.i686.2-5.i386.2-5.i386.rpm ??

According to Red Hat, binary compatibility in Red Hat Linux is always guaranteed for binaries and shared libraries accross releases, but not for .o files nor .a files. However, compatibility is guaranteed for .o files and .a files. _Within_ a realease . Since glibc-2.3.2-5 and glibc-2.3.2-11.9 are from the same release, compatibility should be guaranteed for .o files (Oracle's .o files which have been created during the Oracle installation) and .a files. ??
